USING MIO VELO WITH APPS & DEVICES
Mio VELO can be used as a stand-alone heart rate monitor with heart rate (HR) zone indicator.
You can also transmit your real-time HR and bike sensor data, using ANT+ or
Bluetooth
Smart
(4.0) technology, to any compatible smartphones and exercise equipment computers. Connect
your Mio VELO to a compatible device to take advantage of the wide range of fitness apps
available.

.
Compatible devices will only capture VELO’s 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
You will be required to pair Mio VELO with every new app and receiving device you use. Pairing
prevents signal interference from other sensors and devices in the area.
Tips for Pairing
•
Mio VELO must be in Heart Rate Mode.
•
Stay 30 meters (100 feet) away from other ANT+ or Bluetooth sensors and devices.
•
Position the receiving device as close to your Mio VELO as possible, within 1 meter (3
feet).
•
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).
•
Heart rate calculation of the Mio VELO is not based on instant R-R interval, and will not
work for apps and devices that require heart rate variability (HRV) data.
Pairing with Apps through Bluetooth
1. Turn on the Bluetooth function of your device.
2. If you use an Android device, open the Bluetooth settings menu on your device.
Enable the setting that makes your device visible to other Bluetooth devices.
3. Put on your Mio VELO and turn it on.
4. 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.
5. Repeat the above pairing process for each app. After initial pairing is complete, your
Mio VELO will automatically be recognized each time you use the app.
