Using Mio Link With Apps & Devices; Working With A Receiving Device; Pairing With Apps - Mio link User Manual

USING MIO LINK WITH APPS & DEVICES
Mio LINK can be used as a stand-alone heart rate monitor with heart rate (HR) zone indicator.
You can also transmit your real-time HR data, using ANT+ or Bluetooth Smart (4.0) technology,
to any compatible smartphones and exercise equipment computers. Connect your Mio LINK
to a compatible device to take advantage of the wide range of fitness apps available.
For a complete list of compatible devices, please visit mioglobal.com/apps.
Compatible devices will only capture LINK's HR data in real-time. This requires you to have the
device with you while you are tracking your heart rate.

WORKING WITH A RECEIVING DEVICE

When Mio LINK is in Heart Rate Mode, it will transmit your HR data through Bluetooth
•
Smart (4.0) and ANT+ wireless technology simultaneously, allowing Mio LINK to be
discoverable by compatible devices.
Wear the receiving device on your arm, in your front pocket, or in front of you on a
•
belt or bike handlebar. Do not position the device behind you (e.g. in a back pocket or
backpack) as ANT+ cannot transmit through your body.
Heart rate calculation of Mio LINK is not based on instant R-R interval, and will not
•
work for apps that require heart rate variability (HRV) data.
Tip: The first time you use your LINK with a receiving device or app, you must pair
Mio LINK to the device or app. Pairing can prevent signal interference when other
sensors and devices are in the area.
Tips For Pairing
Mio LINK must be in Heart Rate Mode.
•
Position the receiving device within 3 meters (9 feet) of your LINK.
•
Stay 10 meters (30 feet) away from other ANT+ or Bluetooth sensors and devices.
•
If you have trouble connecting Mio LINK to your ANT+ enabled watch (e.g. Garmin or
•
Suunto), try wearing both the Mio LINK and the watch on the same arm.

PAIRING WITH APPS

1. If you want to pair through ANT+, you will need a device with built-in ANT+ support, or
an ANT+ dongle (for details, visit http://www.thisisant.com). If you want to pair through
Bluetooth Smart (4.0) technology, turn on the Bluetooth function of your device.
2. Put on your Mio LINK and turn it on.
3. Open the app that you would like to pair with. Instructions vary for each app, but
typically, you can add or scan for a heart rate sensor within the app's settings.
Note: Pairing must be completed within the app settings, and not in your smart
device's Bluetooth settings.
