PM5 not showing connect heart rate

Post by fberna » July 25th, 2021, 5:29 am

Hi,

just equipped myself with a model D rower.

I was looking to connect a heart rate monitor and watched a video about it.

On my PM5, with the latest firmware installed, I don't see the connect heart rate and turn wireless ON items.

The machine has been sold in 2014. Is it just that the hardware is too old and did not have these options?

Hi Citroen,

thanks for the replay.

It was my mistake. The new 31 firmware has a different menu, so using the Connect one I found what I needed.

Got stuck for a while because the ErgApp would not connect via Bluetooth to the rower, but after shutting the App down and start it again everything worked.

So now I have run out of excuses... I have to do my daily workout, stop eating all the good stuff and start losing weight...

I discovered a similar issue early on. As long as I connect my HRM first, then Ergdata, no problems and connects both first time, every time! I’m not sure why it matters, but it’s the way. :D

Time to dive in!
