WATERROWER PERFORMANCE MONITOR OPERATION

The Series III monitor has been designed to strike a balance between technical sophistication and user-

friendliness. To achieve this we use text menu windows to guide you through the more advanced programing

options.

BASIC OPERATIONS

Navigation is performed utilizing the four navigation buttons, the Start Button , the Mode Button , and

the Scroll Buttons . The Series III monitor displays, Speed/ Average Speed (m/s- meters per second)

and Power/Average Power (Watts) in the top right hand window, Distance covered in Kilometers in the top left

hand window, Time in the bottom left hand window and Stroke rate (S/R) or Heart Rate (H/R, when option is

fitted) in the bottom right hand window.

To Start the Monitor

Press the Start button, after a short welcome message the screen will be in Ready Mode, (all digits are

flashing). Simply start rowing and the monitor will commence monitoring your work out. The monitor will

shut off automatically after two minutes.

To Clear the Monitor Display

Double press the Start Button and the screen will clear.

PROGRAMING UNIT DISPLAYS

The WaterRower Series III performance monitor allows you to display your work out intensity either as a

replicated boat speed in meters per second (m/s), or as Power in watts. It also allows you to monitor average

speed or average power of your work out. For many users the units display is not important and for this reason

the monitor defaults to the most common unit, m/s.

To Program Unit Option

Enter the Units window using the Mode button.

Using the scroll buttons  select your desired units (m/s, watts, m/s average or watts average).

Press the Mode button to confirm the selection.

The monitor will return to the Ready Screen with the new units selection displayed.
