2USING YOUR ZIO® SRWith the ZIO monitor, you can sleep, shower and go through your normal daily activites.The Patch needs 24 hours to stick to your skin, so avoid any activities which cause sweating during this period. (If your skin is moist, pat it dry with a dry towel or cloth.) After those ﬁrst 24 hours, you may resume normal activities, including moderate exercise. The Patch and Gateway will not ﬂash or make noise when they are working correctly, but you can check your transmissions using myZIO.
