G. CHEST STRAP (OPTIONAL)
To ensure a proper heart rate display, the chest transmitter must
be properly moistened and positioned:
Moisten the back surface of the conductive rubber pads with
saliva or ECG conductive gel (do not use water or moisturizing creams; these are
insulators and will not conduct the heart rate signal).
Snap the key tabs on the elastic belt into the keyholes at the two
ends of the rubber transmitter, and adjust the strap so that the
transmitter fits snugly below the pectoral muscles. Mio ULTI-
MATE may take a minute or two to display an accurate count.
This is normal and may take longer on cool or dry days. For
optimal performance check the user manual that came with your
chest strap.
H. HEART RATE FUNCTIONS
Note: Except for the finger sense and chest strap heart rate
detection, the Stopwatch must be turned on (in count-up) to acti-
vate the heart rate functions.
FINGER SENSE HEART RATE DETECTION
There are two sensors on the face of the watch. To measure
your heart rate, place your finger pads on each, pressing gently.
"HR" appears at upper left, your heart rate in beats per minute
below and the estimated percentage of maximum heart rate in
the upper right. (See section on Average Heart Rate Mode to set
maximum heart rate.) Release your fingers and Mio ULTIMATE
will return to the previous mode.

CHEST STRAP HEART RATE DETECTION
For continuous heart rate detection, wear the chest strap in
the correct position (see section G) and Mio ULTIMATE will dis-
play your current heart rate in Beats Per Minute (BPM) and the
estimated percentage of Maximum Heart Rate (MHR). If you
use the finger sensors while wearing the strap, Mio ULTIMATE
displays the finger sense heart rate.
HEART RATE TRAINING ZONE
• Start the stopwatch timer to record time above, below or in
heart rate target zone.
To personalize a safe and effective workout, you can set your
own training zone limits.
Note: To decrease values when entering personal information
keep scrolling up until the maximum value changes over to the
lowest value.
STEP 1:
Use the following Heart Rate Zone chart to select the
zone you wish to exercise in. You should consult a medical
professional when selecting a training zone, especially if you
have a heart condition.
Heart Rate Zone
Health Zone
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
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
Easy running; increases fitness, improves strength and
endurance; burns both fat and carbohydrates equally;
breathing becomes harder, but conversation still possible.
Anaerobic Power Zone
Fast running; shorter (1 hour) sessions for athletic
training to increase performance; heavier breathing.
Competitive Training Zone
STEP 2:
Calculate your MHR using the same equation Mio does:
• Men: (214 – (0.8 x age in years)) = MHR in BPM (Beats per Minute)
• Women: (209 – (0.7 x age in years)) = MHR in BPM
Example: (214 - (0.8 x 35)) = 186 BPM (35 year-old man)
