Frequently Asked Questions - Slice MIO

How does the PAI (Personal Activity Intelligence) system work?

PAI turns your heart rate data into a personalized score. Your goal is to maintain a score above 100 over a 7-day rolling window. Points are earned based on heart rate intensity during activities. See details in the Mio PAI app.

How do I pair Mio Slice with my smartphone?

Download the Mio PAI app, create an account, and follow the prompts. Press the button on Slice to enter pairing mode (60 seconds). In the app, select your device and enter the 6-digit code displayed on Slice.

What should I do if pairing fails?

Ensure your phone is compatible (check mioglobal.com/compatibility). Turn off Bluetooth and back on, force close the app, or perform a factory reset if needed. See manual for detailed steps.

How do I charge Mio Slice and what is the battery life?

Use the included USB charger with magnetic pins. Charge fully (about 2 hours) for 4-5 days of normal use. The battery icon shows charging status. Keep contacts dry before charging.

How do I start a workout session?

Press and hold the button for 2 seconds to enter Workout Mode. Slice will display 'GO!' and start a chronograph. To end, press and hold again for 2 seconds. Workout data is saved automatically.

How accurate is the heart rate monitor?

The optical sensor provides accurate readings when worn snugly 1-2 finger widths above the wrist bone. Accuracy may reduce in cold water or with large arm movements. If issues occur, try tightening the strap or wearing higher on the forearm.

Is Mio Slice waterproof?

Yes, it is water resistant to 30 meters (3 ATM). However, it is not recommended for swimming or diving. Wireless features do not work underwater.

How should I clean Mio Slice?

Clean regularly with mild soap and water. Dry both the device and your arm before wearing. Avoid strong chemicals like gasoline, solvents, or alcohol. If skin irritation occurs, switch arms or discontinue use.

How do I factory reset Mio Slice?

Ensure >50% battery, place on charger, press and hold the button for 15 seconds during the reset countdown. This erases all data and allows pairing to a new phone. Also forget the device in the app and Bluetooth settings.

Can I receive smartphone notifications on Mio Slice?

Yes, enable Phone Notifications in the Mio PAI app. Slice vibrates for incoming calls and texts. Vibration for notifications cannot be disabled.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

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

While Mio Slice provides accurate heart rate measurements, it is not a medical device. The SLICE and USB charger contain strong magnets. If you use a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other implanted electronic devices, consult your doctor before using a Slice. See Battery Care for important battery care and battery safety information.

YOUR MIO SLICE

PAI (PERSONAL ACTIVITY INTELLIGENCE)

PAI is revolutionary new system that turns your heart rate data into a single, personal score, showing how much activity you need to stay healthy. Everyone's goal is the same, to keep your PAI score above 100 over a 7-day rolling window to maintain optimal health, but what it takes to achieve that goal is a personalized experience.

PAI points are calculated based on your heart rate data and personal profile. To earn more PAI points, increase the intensity of whatever activity you choose to get your heart rate up.

Your PAI Score and PAI Points Earned Today can be found anytime on your Mio SLICE and in the Mio PAI app.

Learn more about PAI at mioglobal.com/PAI.

TROUBLE WITH PAIRING MIO SLICE TO YOUR PHONE

Try the following tips if you have trouble pairing Mio SLICE to your smartphone:

• Check that you are connecting to the correct SLICE device. Before pairing is complete, SLICE is listed with a 4-digit code appended to the name. Match the 4-digit code to your device serial number, found on the back of your SLICE. E.g. If your serial number is "60P00014DCI", SLICE will show up in the app as "SLICE-014D".
• Check that your phone is compatible with the Mio PAI app at mioglobal.com/compatibility.
• Turn off your phone's Bluetooth. After a few seconds, turn Bluetooth on again. Retry the pairing process.
• Force close the PAI app and reopen it. Follow the app's prompts to retry the pairing process.
• Force close all apps on your phone and reopen the PAI app. Follow the app's prompts to retry the pairing process.
• Perform a factory reset on the SLICE (refer to Resetting Mio SLICE & Pairing To A New Phone). Note that this will erase all data stored on your SLICE.

UPDATING MIO SLICE

After pairing, the app will update SLICE if a newer firmware version is available. Keep the Mio PAI app open and your SLICE close to the phone. The SLICE screen will be blank until the update is complete. Do not navigate away from the PAI app during this time.

USING MIO SLICE

Mio SLICE tracks your activity 24/7. View your daily progress by scrolling through the screens on the display. History and more details are available in the Mio PAI app.

WEARING MIO SLICE

For accurate heart rate monitoring, wear Mio SLICE as shown below:

AUTOMATIC HEART RATE SAMPLING

Mio SLICE monitors your activity level 24/7 to automatically adjust its heart rate sampling rate. When your heart rate rises, SLICE will increase its sampling rate to ensure all your activity is captured accurately.

SLICE has four heart rate sampling rates:

• Rest: SLICE captures your heart rate every five minutes.
• Low Intensity: SLICE captures your heart rate every minute.
• Moderate to High Intensity: SLICE captures your heart rate every second, continuously
• Sleep: SLICE analyzes your sleep, captures your heart rate every five minutes, and measures your resting heart rate. Note that this will erase all data stored on your SLICE.

In addition, SLICE will capture your heart rate each time you wake its display or open the Mio PAI app.

WORKOUT MODE

To record an activity, put Mio SLICE into Workout Mode by pressing down the button for 2 seconds. SLICE will display "GO!", then start the chronograph timer. In Workout Mode, SLICE uses high intensity sampling rate, capturing your heart rate every second.

SLICE will display screens specific to the current activity session:

To end and save the activity session, press down the button for 2 seconds. SLICE will exit Workout Mode and return to All-Day Mode.

PAI points earned in recorded activities are automatically rolled into your PAI Score and PAI Points Earned Today. You can review details of your recorded activities in the Mio PAI app.

TROUBLE GETTING YOUR HEART RATE

Try the following tips if you have trouble getting your heart rate:

• Try keeping your arm still while Mio SLICE is searching for your heart rate
• Try tightening the strap

DATA STORAGE & TRANSFER

Mio SLICE can store up to 7 continuous days of data. Memory is cleared each time the SLICE connects and syncs to the Mio PAI app. If SLICE has not been synced in 7 days, it will overwrite the oldest day to capture new data.

SYNCING ACTIVITY DATA

Mio SLICE automatically measures and saves your activity data. Open the Mio PAI app to see your 7-day progress and to review each day in more detail.

If SLICE remains paired to the PAI app, it will automatically sync each time you open the app. SLICE will also sync periodically to your phone if the PAI app is running in the background.
