Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your MYZONE MZ-3, refer to the following common solutions.

Connectivity Issues

• No Connection/Frequent Disconnections: Ensure the chest strap is worn correctly and the sensor pads are moistened. Check that Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the Myzone App has necessary permissions. Sometimes, restarting the app or your phone can resolve temporary connection glitches.
• Device Not Recognized: Verify that the MZ-3 is charged. If it's a first-time connection, ensure you are following the pairing instructions within the Myzone App.

Accuracy Concerns

• Inaccurate Heart Rate Readings: Ensure the strap is snug and positioned correctly on your chest. Dry skin can sometimes affect conductivity; moisten the sensor pads. If you believe your maximum heart rate setting in the app is incorrect, you may need to adjust it within the Myzone App settings or contact Myzone support for guidance.

General Issues

• Device Not Turning On: Ensure the device is fully charged. If it still doesn't turn on, try a different charging cable or power source.
• Faulty Item: If you suspect the device is faulty upon arrival or after minimal use, contact Myzone customer support or your retailer for assistance with returns or replacements.
