Your heart rate will remain displayed for 5 seconds after you remove your finger. - You can take your heart rate (HR) from any mode (except SET modes). - With MIO Smart Touch Technology, obtaining your on-demand heart rate by touch has never been easier. You can get a reading by placing your finger tips, palms or just about any part of your hand on the sensor. Experiment to find your own preference.
- For continuous reading, keep pressing the sensor. - For best accuracy, left and right hands should not be in contact during the test. TROUBLESHOOTING POINTERS If you don’t get your heart rate within 10 seconds, moisten the ends of your fingers 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.

F. 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 recommended) always use MIO’s heart rate Lock.
G.

It will automatically toggle between different display values, but this feature can be turned off by selecting SCROLL OFF. - The MAX HR is based on your personal details.

TO COUNT CALORIES BY HEART RATE Using heart rate for calorie calculation is a good for nonwalking/jogging/ running exercises, such as weight lifting. What you need to do to count your workout calorie is to measure your heart rate at anytime during exercise but particularly when you increase or decrease the intensity of your workout. Then the timer will calculate your workout calorie between your last and current HR measurement.
M. WEIGHT MANAGEMENT MODES MIO uses your personal information (weight, gender, age, resting heart rate, activity level, etc.) and personal goals (e.g., Weekly Weight Change GOAL) to help you establish a TARGET Daily Calories and to calculate Calories burned during workouts. The NET CALORIES IN mode displays net calorie intake (= Calorie Intake Pedometer Calories - Workout Calories) and allows you to enter your Calorie intake.
TO ENTER CALORIES CONSUMED - Press MODE once to get from TIME to NET CALS IN. - Hold SET until beep (2 seconds). - Use + and – to select + MEAL” (you have eaten) or - MEAL” (in case you have accidentally entered more than you have actually eaten). Press SET. - Use + and – to adjust the units digit of your meal calories. Press SET. - Repeat for the tens, hundreds and thousands of your meal calories. - These calories will be added to your NET CALS IN if + MEAL” is selected.
1. RESTING METABOLIC RATE (RMR): Multiply your weight (in lbs) by 10 (or multiply your weight in kg by 22). Example: 130 lbs x 10= 1, 300 RMR 2. ACTIVITY LEVEL Determine from the table the regular activity you engage in at home & at work. Do not include exercise sessions. Multiply your RMR by % Activity Level. Example: 1, 300 RMR calories x 50% Activity Level=650 Activity calories. Lifestyle Description Add % to RMR Sedentary (LO) You sit most of the day at work and at home.
3. DAILY CALORIE REQUIREMENT (DCR) Determine your DCR adding your RMR calories & Activity calories. Example: 1, 300 RMR calories + 650 Activity calories= 1, 950 DCR 4. DAILY CALORIE TARGETS FOR YOUR WEIGHT GOALS: Your DCR is your Daily Calorie Target TO LOSE 1 LB PER WEEK: Deduct 500 calories from your DCR. Example: 1, 950 DCR - 500 calories= 1, 450 Daily Calorie TO GAIN 1 LB PER WEEK. Add 500 calories to your DCR. Example: 1, 950 + 500 calories= 2, 450 Daily Calorie Target Note: 1 lb= 3,500 calories.
N. MEMORY ACTIVE wants to help you to realize your progress, so it memorizes your records for TODAY, THIS WEEK, LAST WEEK and last 7 days. You can use this data to analyze your performance. Each of the records contains the following: - Total daily/weekly STEPS. - Daily/weekly ACTIVITY CALORIES. The display will show ACTIVE”. - Daily/weekly METABOLIC EXPENDITURE which is equal to RESTING META BOLIC CALORIES + ACTIVITY CALORIES. The display will show TOTAL”. - Daily/weekly NET CALORIE IN.
