Connect to Your PM5

Tap the Connect button on the monitor. (Some older monitors may require two steps: tap on More Options, then Turn Wireless ON.)

In Private mode, RowHero will connect to the first erg monitor it sees.

Next, start a New Workout (single piece or intervals; time, distance, calorie, or variable) to start recording:

Finally, you can either use your phone to look at one of our Live Workout Views (Pacing, Force Curve) or turn off the screen. Either way, leave your phone as close to the monitor as possible to make sure your piece is recorded.

Complete all the pieces you need to as part of your workout. You can set up multiple new pieces on the monitor and still have it all recorded as one workout.

When you are done, press Finish Workout to confirm the end of your workout. You can review your statistics quickly; then press Save and Disconnect to disconnect from the monitor.
