IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Consult your doctor before beginning a new exercise program.

Mio ALPHA provides very accurate heart rate measurements. However, it is not a medical

device. The ALPHA watch and USB dongle contain strong magnets that could affect

pacemakersandimplantablecardioverter-debrillators(ICDs).Ifyouhaveanyconcerns,

consult your doctor before using Mio ALPHA.

See page 09 for important battery care and battery safety information.

USING MIO ALPHA

WEARING YOUR MIO ALPHA

To use the heart rate monitor on your Mio ALPHA watch, you must:

• Fasten the watch snugly so the optical sensor on the back of the watch makes tight

contact with your skin. The tighter you can wear the watch, the better.

• Wear the watch above—not on—your wrist bone; wear it higher on the forearm when

using ALPHA as a heart rate monitor, especially if you have a small wrist.

• ALPHA’sperformanceisoptimizedwithgreaterbloodow.Exerciseforafewminutes

toincreaseyourbloodowbeforeturningontheheartratemonitor.

When you’re not using the heart rate monitor, you can wear Mio ALPHA like any watch.

GETTING YOUR HEART RATE

You can view your heart rate and use the heart rate monitor when you put Mio ALPHA in

EXERCISE mode. You must be wearing ALPHA for it to read and display your heart rate. The

heart rate may take a few extra seconds to stabilize while your body is adjusting to the physical

activity; we recommend wearing your Mio ALPHA during the warm up stage of your workout.

Turning On Exercise Mode

1. Fasten Mio ALPHA tightly on your arm above your wrist bone.

2. Press and hold the HR button until the watch beeps and the display says FIND.

3. Hold your arm fairly still until the watch beeps again and displays your heart rate.

Note: It takes a few seconds for your heart rate to register. The icon ashes when

ALPHA nds your heart rate.

If you don’t get a heart rate but the watch face shows , please refer to Troubleshooting

on page 6.

During Exercise Mode

• Press the SET button twice to peek at the time. The time will be displayed for 3

seconds before returning to your heart rate.

• If ALPHA loses your pulse it will beep quickly 4 times and display . You may need

to adjust ALPHA’s position on your wrist.

Turning Off Exercise Mode

1. Press and hold the HR button until the watch beeps and the display says QUIT or END.

Mio ALPHA User Guide 06

Troubleshooting

• You may need to tighten Mio ALPHA’s strap and/or move the watch further up your forearm.

• On cold days ALPHA’s technology can be impacted. We recommend activating the

heart rate reading while still indoors and, if necessary, wearing a sleeve over ALPHA.

• If you are still having trouble, try wearing ALPHA on your other wrist.

• Minimize hand movement and extreme bending of the wrist while using ALPHA’s

continuous heart rate.

IfALPHAcannotdetectyourheartrateduringtheFINDperiod(2min),itwillleaveEXERCISE

mode and go back to TIME mode. Please refer to the steps above and try again.

SETTING YOUR TARGET HEART RATE

To specify your target heart rate zone, your Mio ALPHA must be in EXERCISE mode.

Yourtargetheartrate(HR)zoneconsistsofyourupperheartratelimitandyourlowerheart

ratelimit.Theselimitsareusuallyapercentageofyourmaximumheartrate(MHR).Thistable

shows some examples:

EXERCISE TYPE LOWER HR LIMIT UPPER HR LIMIT

Warm Up 50% of MHR 60% of MHR

Moderate 60% of MHR 70% of MHR

Fitness 70% of MHR 80% of MHR

Training 80% of MHR 90% of MHR

If you don’t know your maximum heart rate or upper and lower heart rate limits, use your

preferred method for calculating them or check with your doctor.

When you start using your ALPHA while you exercise, you’ll soon get an idea of your personal

heart rate zone for different levels of activities.

Tip: When you set your target heart rate zone, you will be prompted to set the upper heart

raterst,thenthelowerheartrate.

To Set Your Target Heart Rate Zone

1. With Mio ALPHA in EXERCISE mode, press and hold the SET button until the watch

beeps and the display says SET UP .

2. Press the +buttontoselecttherstdigitoftheheartrateforyourdesiredupper

heartratelimit.Therstdigitwillbeanumberfrom0to2.

3. Press the SETbuttontoconrmyourchoice.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the next two digits of the heart rate, selecting a number

between 0 and 9 for each.

When you have set the upper heart rate limit, the display will say LOW . Repeat steps 2

through 4 to set the lower heart rate limit.

Mio ALPHA User Guide 07

Using Heart Rate Zone Alerts

Your Mio ALPHA can notify you by beeping once when you are not exercising in your target

heart rate zone. A double-beep indicates your heart rate is 10 BPM or more outside the

target zone. To use zone alerts, specify your target zone and turn on the timer while you are

exercising.

Heart Rate Zone Alert Led Signals

With your Mio ALPHA in EXERCISE mode and the TIMER on, the LED light below the watch

displays alerts.

Green ash: you are exercising in your target heart rate zone.

Red ash:youareexercisingaboveyourupperlimit.Areddouble-ashmeansyourheartrate

is 10 BPM or more above the target zone.

Blue ash:youareexercisingbelowyourlowerlimit.Abluedouble-ashmeansyourheart

rate is 10 BPM or more below the target zone.

USING THE TIMER

Turn on the timer while you are exercising to:

• Track the length of time you have been exercising.

• Turn on heart rate zone alerts.

Your watch must be in EXERCISE mode to use the timer.

To Turn On The Timer

• With your Mio ALPHA in EXERCISE mode, press the TIMER button. The display says

START.

• Press the TIMER button to Pause/Resume the TIMER. Once the TIMER is running, the

HR Zone alert will be activated.

To View The Elapsed Time On The Timer

• From the heart rate display, press the SET button to view the timer. This will make the

timer your default display.

• Press the SET button again to peek at the time. The time will be displayed for 3

seconds before returning to the timer.

• Press the SET button twice to return to the heart rate display.

To Exit From Timer

• Press and hold the TIMER button until the display says END.

Turning off the timer also turns off EXERCISE mode.

Mio ALPHA User Guide 08

REVIEWING YOUR EXERCISE SESSION

Your Mio ALPHA exercise log shows:

• Thelengthoftimeofyourlastexercisesession(assumingthatthetimerwasrunning

foryourentiresession).

• Your average heart rate during the last exercise session.

• The amount of time you spent in your target heart rate zone in the last exercise

session.

To Review The Statistics From Your Last Exercise Session

1. InTIMEmode(withEXERCISEmodeoff),presstheTOGGLE button. The display says

LAST RUN followed by the length of time of your last session.

2. Press the TOGGLE button again. The display says AVG followed by your average

heart rate.

3. Press the TOGGLE button again. The display says IN ZONE followed by the amount of

time you spent exercising in your target heart rate zone.

4. Press the TOGGLE button to return to TIME mode.

Note: Once you start the timer, the data from your last exercise will be replaced by the new

data.

USING MIO ALPHA WITH YOUR SMARTPHONE

Smart Ready or Bluetooth®4.0 smartphones, including iPhone 4s and iPhone 5. For a complete

list of compatible devices please refer to mioglobal.com/apps.

Compatible devices will only capture ALPHA’s heart rate data in real time. This requires you to

have the device with you while you are tracking your heart rate.

Pairing With Smartphone Apps

1. Mio ALPHA must be in EXERCISE mode, reading your heart rate, before pairing.

2. Turn on the Bluetoothfunctionofyourphone.Youmayneedtostay10metres(30

feet)fromotherBluetooth sensors and devices.
