USING MIO VELO
GETTING YOUR HEART RATE
You can get your real-time heart rate when you put Mio VELO in Heart Rate (HR) Mode. You
must be wearing Mio VELO 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 VELO will immediately begin searching for your HR, indicated by the pulsing light
blue LED.
3. Hold your arm still until the LED blinks in a distinctively slower pattern. This means Mio
VELO 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 VELO will automatically leave Heart Rate Mode and turn off.
Please refer to Troubleshooting.

Turning Off HR Mode
Press and hold the Button until the LED turns solid. Your Mio VELO will switch off when the
LED turns off. (The colour of this LED indicates the battery level. See Charging The Battery
for more information).
