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.
HEART RATE ZONES Your target heart rate (HR) zone consists of your upper HR limit and your lower HR limit. These limits are usually a percentage of your maximal heart rate (MHR). If you do not know your MHR or upper and lower HR limits, you can check with your doctor, or use this following MHR calculation method as guidance: MHR = 208 – ( 0.7 x Age ) Note: If Mio VELO is connected to a Bluetooth device, the LED light will do single flashes.
SET UP To achieve the full potential of training with Mio VELO, you should configure your VELO through the Mio GO app. Mio GO allows you to: • • • Pair ANT+ speed and cadence bike sensors. Customize your upper and lower limits of each HR zone. Switch between Training Zone Mode and Zone Alert Mode. Mio GO is available for download in the Apple App Store and Google Play store.
