CAUTION:
Always have the framelock in the locked position when
the flywheel and monorail sections are connected. Failure
to do so may result in injury if the unit is lifted or moved.
LOCKED
To avoid possible injury, use caution while attaching the monorail section to the flywheel
section and while operating the framelock.

Optimal setting permits the knee, lower leg and ankle
to be perpendicular to the floor at the catch.
Lowering the Flexfoot heel permits more seat travel.
Raising the Flexfoot heel cuts down on leg flexion.

LEVEL I Automatic operation: Like the original PM, the PM2 has an automatic
mode which will monitor your workout without requiring you to use any
buttons at all. You will also find it very easy to use the DISPLAY button to
change the output units displayed. (See page 15.)
LEVEL II Preset Workouts and Recall: To introduce more variety into your
exercise program, you can can set up 4 different kinds of workouts on the
PM2: preset time duration, preset distance, timed intervals, and distance
intervals. After you have finished a workout, you can use RECALL to view
your performance. All Level II functions have labeled buttons. (See pages 16.)
LEVEL III Extra Functions: Advanced users can take advantage of these extra
functions: two odometers (resettable and non-resettable), splits to be
measured and displayed during your workout at an interval of your choice;
drag factor display; and PM2 self-test. Extra functions are activated using
button combinations which are described on page 19.

All you need to do is get on and row. The PM2 will automatically come on and begin to display
information about your performance. Here is what the displays are showing:

Projected Finish Display: when you are rowing one of these pre-set workouts, you
will have an additional display option in the lower left field: Projected Finish Time or
Distance. If you are rowing a preset distance, this display will show you your projected finish time if you keep up your present pace. If you are rowing a preset time, this
display will show your projected finish distance if you keep up your present pace. To
see Projected Finish, simply press the DISPLAY button to cycle through the options
until the word PROJ is displayed above the time or distance.
B. Sample Workouts:
The sample workouts on these two pages are designed to help you
become familiar with this capability of your PM2. We encourage you
to set them up on your own PM2 as you read through the instructions.
They are also good workouts to try once you have learned proper rowing
technique and built up your time rowing on the Indoor Rower.

c. using recall
After you have finished a workout, you can use RECALL to view your performance during each split or
interval of your workout.
The first press of the RECALL button displays the end of workout information for your workout. Each
successive press of the RECALL button shows the next earlier split or interval until either the last split
has been displayed or there is no more memory available (maximum storage is 20 splits or intervals).
The word SPLIT will appear on the screen to indicate that you are viewing split information as opposed
to end of workout information. Default splits are: 2 minutes for timed workouts and 500 meters for distance workouts. See next section to set custom splits.
NOTE: Your workout results will remain in the PM2 memory until another
workout is started, even if the PM2 is turned off.
tips:
The button works the same as RECALL. It shows the next earlier split or
interval.
The button shows the next later split or interval.
The DISPLAY button can be used during split recall to view splits in various
units.
Pressing REST during split recall shows splits in cumulative mode. This is
indicated to the user by CU in the center display field. Press REST again
to exit CU mode.
Heart rate box shows your HR at the end of that interval or split
SPM box shows your average strokes per minute for the interval or split.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Heart Rate
here.
troubleshooting
What if the heart rate reading is erratic or
totally absent?
NOTE: Occasionally the Heart Rate Monitor will pick
up bad data for a number of reasons. When the PM2
recognizes bad data, the display will go blank rather than
show the bad data. It will take 5 seconds or longer to
reestablish and display accurate readings.
1. Repeat the electrode wetting procedure. The electrodes must be wet to pick up accurate heart rate
readings.
2. Make sure the transmitter is centered with electrodes
flat against your skin, as high under the pectoral
muscles as is comfortable.
3. Wash your belt transmitter with mild soap and water,
if you have not been doing so regularly.
4. Make sure your Receiver is within the proper range to
receive transmission (1 meter/3 feet from your chest
belt).

troubleshooting
New problems may arise that are not dealt with in this troubleshooting section. We would appreciate any input you, our
customer, may have to help us deal with these situations. Please call or write us.
Symptom: Scraping noise from inside the front end
beam.
Possible Cause: Shock cord or chain may be
routed incorrectly or worn. Shock cord or chain may
have jumped off the pulley.
Remedy: See diagram on page 2 for proper routing of the shock cord and chain. Contact Concept2 if
replacement parts are needed.
Symptom: Creaking noise from the footplate area.
Possible Cause: Two mating surfaces of monorail
and front end are working against each other.
Remedy: Separate the monorail from the front end.
Apply a light coat of thick lubricant (Vaseline or Chapstick) to front facing and bottom rear facing aluminum
hooks located at front of monorail.
Reassemble and row.
