Instructions for competitors at the competition venue
It is recommended to join the race 15 minutes before your own start or immediately when the race device is freed from the previous rower.
- Make sure that the ErgData application is not running on your phone (the surest way is to restart your phone before connecting to the PM5 monitor).
- Start the ErgRace application, you can find your start under Competition -> My Races
- Connect the ErgRace Online application to the PM5 identifier in the Connect view of the PM5 monitor (if the PM5 is already connected to another device, select End connection or restart the PM5 by holding down the Menu key)
- When all functions show green on the ErgRace Online main screen, you can start warming up and wait for further instructions from the PM5 screen.
If you have problems with connecting, we recommend turning off and on the phone and the PM5 monitor again.
If there is a technical problem during racing (e.g. with connections), continue your performance normally to the end. Finally, take a picture of your performance from the PM5 memory and send it to soutu@keravanurheilijat.fi Note: Team race requires online connection from start to finnish. It cannot be done offline.
After the race, disconnect ErgRace Online from the PM5 monitor.
