Getting started
Charging the battery
Your device has an internal battery that may not be fully charged when you
purchase it. You should charge the battery for at least 8 hours before you start
using it for the very first time.
To charge the battery:
• Using a mains power socket
Plug the home charger cable into the USB connector on the back of your
device and the mains power charger into the power socket.
CAUTION:
For optimal performance of the lithium battery, note the following:
• Do not charge the battery where the temperature is high (e.g. in direct sunlight).
The battery will stop charging when the ambient temperature is less than -10ºC (14ºF)
or more than 60ºC (140ºF).
• Recharge the battery when it is nearly discharged. When recharging, make sure that
the battery is fully charged. Doing so can extend the battery life.
• If you will not use the product for a long period of time (over one month) or find the
discharge/recharge time has been shortened, be sure to fully discharge the battery
first before recharging it. You are also advised to fully discharge and recharge the
battery once every 1~2 months.
• Failure to follow the battery usage instructions could cause damage to your device,
battery and even bodily injury or property damage and will void the warranty.
Performing the initial start-up
1. Mount the device and accessories on to your bike. For more information, see
the “Installing the device” section.
2. Press and hold the POWER button for 3 seconds to turn your device on.
• Via the computer
Connect your device to the computer by using the provided USB cable. For more
information, see "Connecting your device to the computer" in this section.
3. Follow the prompts to personalise your device, including:
• Select your preferred language.
• Set the date and time.
• Set the units format.
• Create your user profile.
• Calibrate the compass.
Tip: You can change these settings while using the device by tapping Main menu >
Settings.

4. Activate the map.
Enter the Startup Key (which is printed on the bottom of the box) and then
tap OK to unlock your device. You will only have to do this the first time you
use the device.
5. Once your device is turned on, it will search for satellite signals
automatically. This may take several seconds depending on the location.
When GPS is fixed, the GPS signal icon (
) on the screen indicates the
GPS status.
Tip: Depending on your device model, it will also automatically scan and pair the
accessories (heart rate monitor, cadence/speed sensor and power meter) with the
device. You can also scan the accessories manually while using the device by tapping
Main menu > Settings > Sensors.
Connecting your device to the computer
1. Turn on the computer.
2. Turn on your device. Connect the mini-USB end of the USB cable to the back
of your device and the other end to a USB port on your computer.
3. Select the desired connection type from the pop-up message window:
• Connect to PC: Your device will be recognised as two external mass-
storage drives: Mio_system and Mio_data. You can use Windows File
Explorer to copy/move the files from the computer to your device. A USB
Connection screen appears to prevent you from using your device.
DO NOT delete any files that are pre-installed on the device. Deleting
the files can cause the device to crash. Mio is not responsible for product
quality caused by file deletion.
• Charge only: You will be able to continue using your device with the
battery in charging mode via the computer.
Installing the device
Follow the instructions in this section to mount the device and the cadence/
speed sensor kit (for selected models only) on your bike. In addition, you will
need to put on the heart rate monitor during your workouts.
Mounting the device on your bike
The bike mount kit includes two types of rubber pads, allowing you to attach
the bike mount to your bike securely.
1. Select the rubber pad that best fits the handle bars on your bike and then
attach it using the two plastic straps.
2. Align the latch on the back of the device with the slot on the bike mount,
and then rotate the device clockwise to lock the device to the bike mount.
You can choose to mount the device on the handlebar (a) or on the stem (b).
