Error code with Concept2 and PM5: 488-9801

Post by gnc207 » January 6th, 2020, 7:48 pm

I am getting PM5 error code: 488-9801.
It started a few days ago when I try to connect PM5 with my Polar H7 heart rate strap.
Since then, I updated firmware, but the problem is persistent.
The only way to make it work is to turn-off-on PM5 a few times.
I have also replaced batteries in both.

Any help?
Thanks

If you've followed the instructions here: https://www.concept2.com/service/monito ... mware#beta to update the PM5 firmware version to the latest and that didn't fix it call Concept2 at 1-800 245 5676

Same code here.
Called Concept 2 and was told it was a chip going bad in the pm5 that is used to connect a heart rate monitor.
Fix is to buy a new pm5 😲
Stinks being the machine is only 5 years old with practically zero use the first 4.5 years

Same problem here on my pm5 rower.

Error code 488-9801

My heart rate monitor is connecting to my new skierg

Bluetooth on my rower does connect to erg data.

Never had this issue before the v30 update

Just try a factory default reset of the PM5 it fixes many issues.

Hold the bottom two left buttons down and pin the reset in the back at the same time.
