D. TAKING YOUR HEART RATE WITH THE
SMART TOUCH TECHNOLOGY SENSOR
Place any finger or your
palm anywhere on the
Smart Touch sensor.
Hold to activate Smart
Touch sensor. Make sure
the back plate is in contact with your wrist. TEST
will appear, and heart
rate icon will flash.
8 English
Wait for heart rate
readout (3-8 sec). MIO
will beep when the
reading is ready.
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.
- A one-time read out of your heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) will display.
The small digits at the right display the percentage of your current heart rate
to your maximum heart rate (up to 99%).
- MIO calculates this percentage using your personal data. A maximum heart
rate is an estimate with a variability of up to 15 BPM.
- The heart rate sensor can also be locked to prevent accidental reading.
See section F.
English 9
- 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.
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 fluctuations 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 significantly from what
you have come to expect, replace MIO’s battery (see Section O). To optimize
readings, occasionally clean the back of you MIO case and the Smart Touch
sensor with a clean, soft cloth.
If the watch is submerged in water, or becomes very wet, then it may automatically go to HR MODE. A message 'DRY PLEASE' will also be displayed. If
you receive this message, please dry the watch thoroughly. The HR MODE
can also be locked to prevent accidental HR readings being taken, (see Section F).
