AUTOMATIC HEART RATE SAMPLING

Mio SLICE User Guide 9 Mio SLICE automatically tracks your heart rate, PAI, calories, steps, distance, and sleep data in All-Day Mode. These values reset to 0 at midnight each day, with the exception of your PAI score, which is based on your total activity in the last 7 days. In addition, SLICE will automatically track your heart rate each time you turn on the display or open the Mio PAI app. You can switch from Automatic heart rate sampling to Always On (capture heart rate every second) within the Device Settings in the PAI app. Note that Always On heart rate sampling may significantly increase the battery consumption. 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.
