Concept2 PM5 Quick start guide

  • Hello! I've reviewed the user guide for the Concept2 PM5, which is used with Model D, Model E, Dynamic indoor rowers, and the SkiErg. This document outlines how to use the device, including automatic workout tracking, menu navigation, data display options, and heart rate monitor pairing. I'm ready to answer your questions about the monitor and its features.
  • How does the PM5 turn on?
    Are workout results saved automatically?
    What kind of heart rate monitors are compatible with the PM5?
