PM4 Firmware
Firmware is the software that runs in your monitor. Updating your monitor means updating the firmware running in your PM4.
Current version
- PM4 firmware Version 29 & Version 318
- Ski Erg PM3 firmware version 708
Updating your firmware
- Download the Concept2 Utility program to your computer.
- Shut down any other PM applications (RowPro, for example) you have running.
- Connect your PM to your PC via the USB cable that came with your PM. Your computer may prompt you for information regarding the connection. Disconnect any other USB devices. See the Troubleshooting page if you have trouble with this step.
- Open the installer. The wizard will appear to guide you through the setup and installation.
- Wait for the update to finish. Do not disconnect the PM until you see the "Set Language" screen.

Why 2 Firmware Versions?
Versions 28 and lower are for monitors with the original microprocessor. The microprocessor used in the original PM4s was discontinued by the manufacturer. In order to use a different microprocessor, Indoor Sport Services needed to redesign the PM4. The redesign did not alter functionality between PM4s using different microprocessors but did require a new firmware version.
The first PM4s to use the new microprocessor were put into circulation in June of 2008. These PM4s were released with PM4 Firmware Version 304. If your PM4 Firmware Version is 304 or higher, the timeline that applies to your PM4 is Timeline for Firmware Versions 304-318. Otherwise, the list that applies to your PM4 is Timeline for Firmware Versions 28 and Lower. The firmware versions are not interchangeable. That is, Firmware Version 303-318 will not work on a PM4 with Firmware Version 28 and lower, and vice versa.
