USING MIO LINK

GETTING YOUR HEART RATE

You can get your real-time heart rate when you put Mio LINK in Heart Rate (HR) Mode. You
must be wearing Mio LINK to obtain an accurate heart rate reading. The heart rate may take a
few seconds to stabilize while your body is adjusting to the physical activity. We recommend
activating Heart Rate Mode during the warm up stage of your workout.
Turning On HR Mode
1. While standing still, press and hold the Button until the LED lights up. The color of
this LED is an indicator of the battery level. (See Charging The Battery for more
information).
2. Mio LINK will immediately begin searching for your HR, indicated by the pulsing light
blue LED light.
3. Hold your arm still until the LED blinks in a distinctively slower pattern. This means Mio
LINK has found your heart rate. The LED color at this point is an indicator for the HR
zone. For more details, please refer to Heart Rate Zones.
If no valid heart rate signal is found within the initial 2 minutes, the LED will light up in red for 2
seconds, then Mio LINK will automatically leave Heart Rate Mode and turn off.
Please refer to Troubleshooting.
During your workout, if you see a red LED flashing in a steady pattern (ON for 1 second, OFF for
1 second), Mio LINK has lost connection to your heart rate. Please refer to Troubleshooting.
Turning Off HR Mode
Press and hold the Button until the LED turns solid. Your Mio LINK will switch off when the LED
turns off. (The colour of this LED indicates the battery level. See Charging The Battery for
more information).
