I can’t seem to find the birth date screen. How do I access this screen?

Since your birth date does not change, you only need to enter it once.  For the MIO Sport, Shape, and Classic models, the birth date is entered in the Calendar Mode.  You may access this screen after setting it initially if you want to make a change.
To access the birth date screen from the time screen, press the MODE/LAP button once to go to the date/calendar screen.  Press the SET/START button and hold it until the word ‘HOLD’ appears on the screen and the watch beeps once.  Scroll through the date screen by pressing the SET/START button once for each digit until the day of the week is flashing.  Press the SET/START button one more time: the entire display will change to the birthday mode and the year of birth will be flashing.  Set this as you would the calendar and the watch will store and save your birth date and use this to calculate your age.  You will see a gender icon flash in the top right hand corner of the screen, select the male or female and press the SET/START button.

For the MIO Motiva, Drive, and Breeze models, birth year is entered in the MY MIO mode.

I was doing some work with a television station and I was provided with a hired car with a driver. The driver’s name was John. Throughout my ride John confided in me that he had recently survived a heart attack. He was determined to seize this second change at life by improving his health, losing weight and changing his overall lifestyle! He was terrified that if he overexerted himself that he would relapse and possibly have another heart attack. While listening to this brave man’s story I realized that I could help this man! Recently a good friend of mine, Liz Dickinson had given me one of her new products that her company was launching, the MIO Beat. MIO makes strapless heart rate monitors, perfect for this individual! I told him all about the watch and offered him the one I was wearing. He was very thankful! He dropped me off at the location and I bid John goodbye.

Recently, four years since I last saw John I was doing more work with the same television station. As I stepped into the hired car, the driver turned round in his seat and said “You don’t recognize me, do you?” Slightly embarrassed I replied that I didn’t. “It’s John! You gave me your MIO watch 4 years ago!”

The transformation was unbelievable, he was like a whole different person! He told me that since I had given him the MIO watch that he had lost 70 pounds! MIO had changed John’s life, not only had he lost so much weight but he had also gained back his confidence and self esteem. He was happier than ever!
