I just replaced the PM3 with the PM5 as I become more deliberate and consistent with my Erg training.

Yesterday the plan was to crest the 200K meters on the current challenge. To do that I needed to knock out 21K meters. Halfway through the workout I needed to get up to respond to the call of nature. When I returned (< 4 mins) the PM5 had frozen up and nothing short of `rebooting' it and starting another training program.

Is there any way I can `pause' the PM5 for a few minutes without losing data?

Also, the display light lasts barely 10 seconds before it goes dark. Is there a way to adjust this?

The monitor won't sleep for four minutes if you're in the middle of a row. If you press ANY button (except [MENU], obviously) that timer gets restarted.

The short timeout for the backlight can't be changed in current versions of the firmware.

Thanks, Citroen. Good to get the information.

Hook your PM up to the computer, and it gets powered by the USB, mine never shuts off until I unplug it from the computer.
