2. USB Charger

3. Quick Start Guide

Please adhere to the following safety information before using your MIO VELO 57P:

• Be sure to consult your doctor before beginning a new exercise program.

• While the MIO VELO 57P provides accurate heart rate measurements, it is not a medical device.

• The MIO VELO 57P and its USB charger contain strong magnets. If you use a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other implanted electronic devices, consult your doctor before using the MIO VELO 57P.

• Refer to the charging instructions for important battery care and safety information.

The MIO VELO 57P device has the following main components:

• LED

• Button

• Charging Pins (on the back)

• Sensor Lights (on the back)

• Optical Sensor (on the back)

To accurately monitor your heart rate with the MIO VELO 57P, follow these steps:

1. Fasten the MIO VELO 57P snugly on your lower forearm, about 1–3 inches (3–8cm) above your wrist bone. The optical sensor on the back should make good contact with your skin.

2. If you have a smaller wrist, wear the MIO VELO 57P higher on your forearm.

3. For cyclists or users with concave wrists, wear the MIO VELO 57P higher and on the underside of your forearm, since bending of the wrist may affect the heart rate reading.

4. If you are using the MIO VELO 57P with an ANT+ sport device, wear both devices on the same arm for a better ANT+ connection.

Important: For optimal heart rate accuracy, especially if you often have cold hands or poor circulation, we strongly recommend doing a warm up exercise for a few minutes before you begin to track your heart rate.

You must be wearing the MIO VELO 57P to obtain an accurate heart rate reading. It may take a few seconds to stabilize. It is recommended to activate HR Mode during your warm-up.

1. While standing still, press and hold the Button until the LED lights up. The color of this LED indicates the battery level.

2. The MIO VELO 57P will immediately begin searching for your heart rate, indicated by a pulsing light blue LED.

3. Hold your arm still until the LED blinks in a distinctively slower pattern. This means the device has found your heart rate. The LED color will now indicate your current heart rate zone.

If no valid heart rate signal is found within the initial 2 minutes, the LED will light up in red for 2 seconds, and then the MIO VELO 57P will automatically leave Heart Rate Mode and turn off.

During your workout, if you see a red LED flashing in a steady pattern (ON for 1 second, OFF for 1 second), it means the MIO VELO 57P has lost connection to your heart rate. Please refer to troubleshooting steps to re-establish the connection.

To turn off HR Mode, press and hold the Button until the LED turns solid. Your MIO VELO 57P will switch off when the LED turns off. The color of the solid LED indicates the current battery level.

If you are having trouble getting an initial heart rate reading, try the following:

• Minimize wrist movement when the MIO VELO 57P is searching for your heart rate.

• Try tightening the strap.

• Try wearing the MIO VELO 57P higher on your forearm.

• On colder days, activate the heart rate reading before heading outdoors.

• If you are still having trouble, try wearing the MIO VELO 57P on your other arm.

Your target heart rate (HR) zone consists of your upper and lower HR limits, which are usually a percentage of your maximal heart rate (MHR). If you do not know your MHR, you can check with your doctor or use the following calculation method as guidance:

MHR = 208 – (0.7 x Age)

The MIO VELO 57P has two different heart rate zone alert modes: Training Zone Mode (5-Zone) and Zone Alert Mode (1-Zone). Training Zone Mode is the factory default.

The LED light flash pattern indicates the connection status of your MIO VELO 57P:

• If the MIO VELO 57P is connected to a Bluetooth device, the LED light will do single flashes.

• If no Bluetooth device is connected, the LED light will do double flashes.

In the default Training Zone Mode, the LED light will blink slowly to indicate your current 5-zone HR zone. You can customize the upper and lower boundaries of each zone through the Mio GO app.

In Zone Alert Mode, the LED will blink slowly to indicate whether you are below, within, or above a single target HR zone.

To configure your MIO VELO 57P and pair ANT+ speed and cadence bike sensors, you should use the Mio GO app. The MIO VELO 57P can support up to four bike profiles.

1. Find an isolated location, away from all other ANT+ sensors.

2. Fasten the MIO VELO 57P snugly on your forearm and press and hold the Button to turn on HR Mode.

3. Turn on the Bluetooth function of your smartphone or tablet.

4. Open the Mio GO app. If it’s your first time, you will be asked to set up a user profile and connect your device.

5. Select your MIO VELO 57P from the list of discovered devices.

6. Once connected, tap the “>” icon.

7. Choose your preferred heart rate training mode (5-Zone or 1-Zone) and set your heart rate zone limits.

8. To pair your ANT+ speed and/or cadence bike sensors, select one of the four bike profiles.

9. Tap the profile name to edit it.

10. Spin your bike pedals and wheel to ensure the sensors are active.

11. Tap PAIR. The MIO VELO 57P will search for your bike sensors and automatically pair with them.

12. The Mio GO app will display your paired sensors.

13. Repeat steps 8-12 to pair another set of bike sensors to a different profile.

Follow these tips for successful pairing:

• Your MIO VELO 57P 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 57P 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).

• The heart rate calculation of the MIO VELO 57P is not based on instant R-R interval, and will not work for apps and devices that require heart rate variability (HRV) data.

You will need to pair the MIO VELO 57P with every new app and receiving device you use.

1. Turn on the Bluetooth function of your device.

2. If you use an Android device, open the Bluetooth settings menu and enable the setting that makes your device visible to other Bluetooth devices.

3. Put on your MIO VELO 57P 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, not in your smart device’s main Bluetooth settings.

5. Repeat the pairing process for each app. After the initial pairing, your MIO VELO 57P will be automatically recognized each time you use the app.

Instructions vary for each device. Follow your device manufacturer’s instructions for receiving heart rate data from a chest strap; your device will register the MIO VELO 57P as a heart rate sensor.

The LED light will indicate the battery level every time you turn the MIO VELO 57P on or off.

Additionally, if the battery level falls below 30% during a workout, the LED will alert you every 4 seconds by quickly flashing red-blue-red-blue, and then resuming the heart rate zone indication pattern.

Follow these steps to charge your MIO VELO 57P:

1. Warning: Make sure the four charging pins on the back of the MIO VELO 57P are dry. If not, dry them gently with a towel.

2. Plug the USB charger into a USB port on your computer.

3. Align the four charging pins on the back of the MIO VELO 57P to the four charging pins on the USB charger. 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 light blue color to indicate that the battery is charging. When the battery is fully charged, the LED light will turn off. A full charge will provide 8 to 10 hours of use in Heart Rate Mode.

To maintain the battery lifespan, follow these guidelines:

• Recharge the battery at least once every 6 months.

• Do not expose the MIO VELO 57P to high temperatures.

• Use your VELO in the temperature range of 5°C to 45°C (41°F to 113°F).

• Store the MIO VELO 57P in the temperature range of 0°C to 25°C (32°F to 77°F).

• Do not disassemble, puncture, or incinerate the Mio VELO strap or battery.
