Mio ALPHA User Guide

Exercising With Your Smartphone
•
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).
•
The ALPHA heart rate calculation is not based on instant R-R interval, and will not work
for apps that require heart rate variability (HRV) data.
USING MIO ALPHA WITH OTHER DEVICES
Pairing With Receiving Devices Such As Bike Computers
Instructions vary for each device. Follow the instructions for receiving heart rate data from a
chest strap; your device will register the ALPHA heart rate sensor.
MAINTAINING YOUR MIO ALPHA
CHARGING THE BATTERY
Your Mio ALPHA contains a rechargeable lithium polymer battery. Follow these instructions
and guidelines to ensure long life for the battery.
If you do not follow these guidelines, the battery life could be shortened and there is the risk
of damage to the watch, risk of fire, risk of electrolyte leaks and chemical burns, and risk of
injury.
Battery Indicator
•
The battery indicator in the upper left of the watch face shows three bars when the
battery is fully charged. Each bar represents about 1/3 of the battery’s full charge.
•
If you put the watch in EXERCISE mode and the battery charge is below 1/3, the
display will say LOW BATTERY. You can still use the heart rate monitor.
•
If you put the watch in EXERCISE mode and the display says NO BATTERY, you
must recharge the battery before using the heart rate monitor again. The watch will
automatically return to TIME mode.
Battery Life
•
The length of time you can use the heart rate monitor while EXERCISE mode is on
varies from 8–10 hours.
