PM5 Back-light Timeout
Posted: September 27th, 2014, 4:34 am
My new PM5 equipped Model D arrived today, and I'm really pleased with it. Workouts saved on the PM5's USB stick upload seamlessly, and the monitor seems much faster and more responsive. I see that the monitor timeout has been lengthened to 5 minutes, which is a real improvement and much appreciated.
One suggestion that I'd like to make, however, is to increase the time before the back-light goes off. At the moment, if you don't press a key within 10 seconds, the monitor goes back to being unlit, which is annoying at night.
I understand the design logic is to maximize battery life, but it would be nice if we could have, say, 20 or 30 seconds before the back-light goes out. This would be helpful for rowing at night, and surely wouldn't have a gravely detrimental effect on battery life.
All in all, however, I'm really happy with the new PM5 and my new erg. Thank you to the C2 development team for delivering another great product.
