CHARGING YOUR MIO LINK
1. Make sure the 4 charging pins on the back of the Mio LINK are dry.
If not, dry them with a towel.
2. Plug the USB connector of the USB dongle into the USB port of your
computer.
3. Attach the 4 charging pins on the back of Mio LINK to the 4
charging pins on the USB dongle. The magnets in the charging pins
will help the two pieces lock into place.
The LED light will fade in and out slowly in a cyan color to indicate
that the battery is charging. When the battery is fully charged, the LED
light will turn off.
WEARING YOUR MIO LINK
To accurately monitor your heart rate:
•Fasten Mio LINK snugly on your wrist. The optical sensor on the back
should make good contact with your skin
•You should wear Mio LINK above, and not directly on top, of your
wrist bone.
•If you have a smaller wrist, wear Mio LINK higher on your forearm.

•If you use Mio LINK for biking, wear it higher on your forearm, since
the bending of the wrist will affect the heart rate reading.
•If you often have cold hands or poor circulation, try exercising for a
few minutes to increase blood flow before you begin to track your
heart rate.
Getting Your Heart Rate
1. To turn on Heart Rate Mode on your Mio LINK, press and hold the
Button until the LED lights up. The colour of this LED is an indicator
of the battery level:
Cyan Battery is charged
Yellow Battery level is below 30%
Red (flash twice) Battery level is low and unable to provide HR
measurement
2. Mio LINK will immediately begin searching for your heart rate (HR),
indicated by the pulsing LED light.
3. Hold your arm still until the LED blinks in a distinctively slower
pattern. This means Mio LINK has found your heart rate. The LED
colour at this point is an indicator of the HR zone, calculated as a
percentage of your maximal heart rate (MHR):

COLOUR DESCRIPTION LOWER HR LIMIT UPPER HR LIMIT
Cyan Resting 0% of MHR < 50% of MHR
Blue Warm Up / Recovery 50% of MHR < 60% of MHR
Green Fat Burn & Endurance 60% of MHR < 70% of MHR
Yellow Aerobic Fitness 70% of MHR < 80% of MHR
Magenta Anaerobic Intensive 80% of MHR < 90% of MHR
Red Peak Performance 90% of MHR 220 BPM
Note: This table is only a suggested range. Refer to Configuring Your
Mio LINK (pg. 8) for more details.
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 LINK will
automatically leave Heart Rate Mode and turn off.
4. During your workout, if the red LED is flashing in a steady pattern
(ON for 1 second, OFF for 1 second), Mio LINK has lost connection
to your heart rate. Please refer to Troubleshooting (pg. 9).
5. To turn off Heart Rate Mode, press and hold the Button until the LED
lights up for 2 seconds.
