Erratic stroke rate and pace on PM4

Here's the situation:

I set the workout for "Intervals" at 5k (no rest) and pulled two: One at 18-19 spm and the second at 20-21 spm.

The PM4 was acting up during the second 5k so take that into consideration... I did not rate a 30...I rated a 20-22 on the second 5k...

The following stats are from my logcard record

39:22.3-------10,000-----1:58.1-----24 (no)----134 bpm (yes)

20:12.8--------5000-------2:01.2------19-----124bpm
19:09.5--------5000-------1:54.9 (?)----30 (no)- 144 bpm

( I wrote down IND_V codes to (help?) trouble shoot the monitor:
OBE1-6FF4
9AE2-2285

Perhaps there a power problem since this happened later in the session?

Perhaps I haven't been on the erg enough to keep the battery charged?

I have been having intermittent problems of this nature with the monitors of each of the two machines we own. Also there have been log card malfunctions (not recently)~but I can't necessarily blame those on these machines since I used them on others elsewhere.

Could it be a humidity or static electricity problem? (I contacted C2 about this earlier this summer and traded hypotheses about all this then too.

I would completely reset the monitor and try again; also make sure the firmware is up to date. I will contact you directly to see what else might have caused this issue.
