Congratulations on your purchase! MIO Alpha is the world’s first performance level, strapless, continuous heart rate monitor you can wear on your wrist. Alpha uses ANT+™ or Bluetooth® Smart technology to transmit your heart rate data to smartphones and other compatible devices. Take advantage of hundreds of fitness apps.
Timer Heart Rate Activating Your Alpha 1. Remove your MIO Alpha watch from the packaging. 2. Peel off the protective film. 3. Press and hold the SET or button to activate the watch. The display will turn on and prompt you to set the time.
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.
• 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.
Zone alerts Your Alpha watch 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.
(HRV) data. Tip: The first time you use your Alpha with a receiving device or app, you must pair the Alpha and the device or app. Pairing can prevent signal interference when other sensors and devices are in the area. Once paired, just treat your Alpha as a chest strap or heart rate monitor.
