Hello guys, finally got my rower and busting away ( probably too much for the first few days )

Can you guys tell me what I am doing wrong here? I turn on the PM5 and from the first menu I press " CONNECT". . . then on my iphone I turn on my Bluetooth and then turn on the ErgData app. When in the app I press the bluetooth connection. . . but nothing finds each other and they both search forever. . . what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for all and any help guys. I seriously appreciate it.

I appreciate the help and the input, but the PM5 monitor and the Ergdata app are both updated now and do not look or operate like that. This video makes sense and looks easy, but that's not the way that it looks now. Now it appears on the PM5 too simple but does not work. I just want to start recording my beginner slow rowing splits. . . lol

Turn off BT on your phone.

If your PM5 is fully updated then on the main menu (3rd grey button) is the word connect.

Get BTLE on the PM5 running with that. Then fire up Ergdata on your phone and tap YES when it asks for permission to activate BTLE.
