How to get your Verification Code from your PM3/PM4 Monitor

• Make sure that the date and time on your PM3/PM4 is accurate.
• Set up and row your piece (being sure to set up your workout correctly).
• After you have rowed your piece, select the View Detail button associated with the piece - this is possible by viewing workout details of a workout on your LogCard or memory.
• On the View Detail screen, the 4th button down from the top has no action associated with it.
• Double clicking on this button will cause a 16 digit number to appear in the upper right hand corner of the monitor.
