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:

the choices shown at right.
AVERAGE PACE what your
average pace per 500 meters has
been since you started.
METERS: the number of
meters you have rowed since you
started.
CALORIES: the approximate
number of calories you have
burned since you started.
WATTS: your average power
out-put in watts since you started.
Your STROKE RATE or cadence in Strokes per
Minute (SPM), updated every stroke. Aim for
somewhere between 20 and 30 spm.
PACE/500METERS: how long it would
take you to row 500 meters if you kept
rowing at that same pace. The smaller the
number, the faster you are going.
CALORIES/hOUR: the rate at which
you were burning calories during the last
stroke. It displays the approximate number of
calories you would burn in an hour if you kept
rowing at that pace. The larger the number,

A WORD ABOUT CALORIES:
Due to the differences in body weight and
efficiency, calories on the PM2 are only an
approximation of calories burned by the person
rowing. The formula used in the PM2 is as
follows:
Calories = (4x ave. watts/1.1639)+300 cal/hour
x time rowed (in hours).
This formula assumes a person of 175 pounds
(80 kg.) and a base rate of 300 cal/hour to move
your body through the rowing motion at 30
strokes/minute.
WATTS: the power you exerted
during the last stroke, in watts.
The larger the number, the faster
you are going.
