E. WEARING MIO IN WATER & LOCKING
THE HEART RATE SENSOR
To prevent triggering the Smart Touch Heart Rate feature
from accidental readings due to contact with water or some
clothing materials use the Heart Rate Lock feature. Because
water is a conductor, it will activate the HR function.
To protect the battery's life while swimming or showering
(although wearing in the shower/bath/sauna is not recom-
mended) always use MIO's Heart Rate Lock.
• To turn the HR Lock on: in any MODE press and hold
START/STOP for seconds. The HR lock icon will display.

TROUBLESHOOTING POINTERS
If you don't get your heart rate within
moisten fi nger 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 the sensor.
Exercising vigorously with a lot of arm movement or
body motion can cause "muscle noise" that may
prevent proper detection of a HR signal. Try to relax
your watch arm.
).
If your HR varies, note that fl uctuations are normal in a
healthy heart; in fact, the healthier your heart is, the more
variation you could see. However, if MIO's calculations
start to vary signifi cantly from what you have come to
expect, replace MIO's battery (see Section L).
To optimize readings, occasionally clean the back of your
MIO case and the Sensor Ring with a clean, soft cloth.
