PM2/PM2+ Level III Use
All of the PM2 buttons except the ON/OFF button have extra functions which are activated when you press and hold down the READY button.
These special functions include the following:
- Split Intervals: you can set the PM2 to measure splits at intervals which you set. Each split will be saved for recall after you finish and can be displayed for 6 seconds while you row.
- Drag Factor: you can set the PM2 to display the drag factor which it calculates during the rundown of the flywheel...more details on Drag Factor
- PM2 Display Test (described below)
- Two Odometers: one is resettable (trip odometer) and one is not resettable.
Button Sequences & Descriptions of Extra Functions
SPLITS
Custom Splits (time)
- Hold down
and then press
to set a time interval for split measurement. - Use the SET DIGITS buttons to set the split time.
- Press READY when done.
Note: Your custom split interval will not be retained through a power down. Default value is 2 minutes.
Custom Splits (distance)

to set a distance interval for split measurement. - Use the SET DIGITS buttons to set the split distance.
- Press READY when done.
Note: Your custom split interval will not be retained through a power down. Default value is 500 meters.
Splits On/Off
Hold down
and then press
to have splits displayed during your workout.
Repeating this button sequence will turn off the split display during your workout. When the PM2 powers up, splits are off by default.
DRAG FACTOR
Hold down
and then press
to have a drag factor displayed in the lower right display window. Repeating this button sequence will turn off the drag factor display.
The drag factor is most helpful if you row on Concept Indoor Rowers in different locations and want to be sure the resistance setting is the same. Check the drag factor on your "home" machine, and then adjust the damper on the "away" machine until you get the same drag factor. The typical range for drag factor on the indoor rower is: 103 (damper setting 1)-223 (damper setting 10). When the PM2/PM2+ powers up or resets, the drag factor display will be off by default.
Note: When a heart rate monitor is being worn, heart rate will override the drag factor and will always be displayed.

and then press
to perform a self-test including all segments test. Press ON/OFF to end the test.
