Pace boat setup

[peterclayton]

Hi, we have an older rower at home but at the gym there is a newer version which has a pace boat and I am too stupid to work out how to set it up. Any help please?

There may be more than one way, but I use the "re-row" menu choice. This allows you to select a previous workout against which to pace yourself (chosen by a specific distance, time, etc.). If the pace boat doesn't appear when you start rowing, then change display until it appears. I hope this helps.

Main menu --> Select workout --> New workout.

The pace boat setting is on the bottom of the new workout screen.

I'm using a PM3 at a fitness center, and the numbers I enter for the pace boat's value (via New Workout - Optional Pace Boat) seem to have little to do with the value that actually gets applied once I start the workout. For example, I tried entering 800 cal/hr and wound up with a pace boat at something like 1400 cal/hr instead. Even entering a really low number like 300 cal/hr still puts the boat up above 1000 during the workout. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Try setting the pace boat for pace (time to cover 500m).
Try upgrading your PM3s to V101 of the firmware.

The PM3 gives you 300cals/hr just for pulling the chain an inch.
