Need help with PM5

Post by mermoose » November 15th, 2014, 1:20 pm

My PM5 is set on a language I don't understand. The website says to hold the menu button until it changes. Did that, same language keeps coming back. Just got mine yesterday. Can't call the manufacturer, today is Saturday. I could wait until Monday, but thought I'd ask here, just in case someone here knows how to reboot or something. I am guessing a button got pushed during set up and what I am seeing is the main menu. In some lovely language I can't read....
Looking forward to learning how to row. This is my first effort. I am hoping this really is my best "one" piece of equipment. Time will tell. I am excited to try using this rower to help me get more mobile and fit.

Any Newbie advice is welcome. :D

Should be something here, if you have no manual:

Access the Main Menu. If you don’t understand the language the monitor is currently displaying, press Menu until the display stops changing. This means you have reached the Main Menu.

That is, press a number of times, not just once for a long time.

If you just get on and pull you should see numbers enough anyway, and the lower buttons will let you cycle through the display options.

You're going to have to fly the PM5 blind for a while. Read the instructions and press the right GREY button at each menu change.
