Do the same for TIME, DATE, GENDER, BIRTH YEAR.

SET TIME & DATE

Hold SET until beep (2 seconds). 12H or 24H blinks.
Press + or – to toggle the TIME & DATE format.

TAKING YOUR HEART RATE

Place middle finger on the metal uppER MIO sensor and index finger on LOWER MIO button.
Press down gently on the buttons to activate MIO sensors. Heart icon will flash.
Wait for Heart Rate readout (4–7 seconds). Your MIO will beep to let you know that the reading is ready.

The small digits at the right display the percentage of your current heart rate to your maximum heart rate (up to 99%). MIO calculates this percentage using your personal data. A maximum heart rate is an estimate with a variability of up to 15 BPM.

You return to the previous mode 5 seconds after removing your finger pads from the MIO Sensors.

TROUBLESHOOTiNG POINTERS

If you don't get your heart rate within 10 seconds, moisten finger pads and try again. It helps to wear your MIO for a little while to allow a layer of moisture to build up between the back of the watch and your arm. Do not press too hard on sensors.
If MIO's calculations start to vary significantly from what you have come to expect, if the digits freeze or if the face is blank, replace MIO's battery (see Section K).
To optimize readings, occasionally clean the back of your MIO case and the metal UPPER and LOWER MIO sensors with a clean soft cloth.

MAXIMUM HEART RATE

MIO uses your personal information in calculating your % Maximum Heart Rate (%MHR), which is a good indicator of your workout intensity. The intensity of your workouts is of the highest importance: too low of an intensity and you will get little benefit, too high of an intensity and you will overtrain, risking possible injury and illness. Please refer to the following table and select the suitable zone for your exercise, but please remember to consult a medical professional if you have a heart condition.

Heart Rate zone	% of Maximum heart rate
Health Zone	50-60%
Brisk walking; improves health, but not necessarily fitness (ie strength/endurance); good for warm up and cool down sessions; helpful for many patients with heart disease, obesity and arthritis; breathing is comfortable, talking is easy.
Conditioning Zone	60-70%
Slow jogging; suitable for beginners and warm ups; longer sessions required to burn fat and lose weight; breathing more noticeable, but conversation still fairly easy.
Aerobic fitness Zone	70-80%
Easy running; increases fitness, improves strength and endurance; burns both fat and carbohydrates equally; breathing becomes harder, but conversation still possible.
Anaerobic power Zone	80-90%
Fast running; shorter (1 hour) sessions for athletic training to increase performance; heavier breathing.
Competitive Training Zone	90-100%
All-out running; short bursts used in interval training by athletes and in sprint activity in most sports; quite heavy breathing.

TO CHANGE MIO'S BATTERY

Place a coin into the depression on the back and rotate counter-clock wise until the battery hatch pops out.
Lift the round plastic insulator and remove the old battery. Place the new battery in with the positive (+) side facing out. Make sure the round plastic insulator sits on top of the battery positive (+) side.
Place the battery hatch over the battery and close it by rotating the plate clockwise.
