Why does Endomondo look for a bluetooth when I try to connect my Heart Rate Monitor?

A while back I asked about what app to use on my cell phone that will let me track my mileage and time (I might have asked in the Mobile Devices forum). Endomondo was suggested by a lot of people and I installed in on my phone. It works pretty well (not perfect, but still good). While playing around with it the other day, I noticed that it can display data from external sources: Heart Rate Monitors, Cadence Sensors, etc... So, I put on my HRM cheststrap and tried to get it to connect. It won't. It keeps looking for a bluetooth device. I thought that maybe my HRM strap was a bluetooth device, but it can't find it.

For what it is worth, I have a Mio watch with HRM (Energy Pro). When I use the watch, the HRM works. When I try to get endomondo to see the HRM, no good. Any suggestions?

BTW: I might post this again in the Mobile Devices section, but I figured that I would start here since you guys might use the same products / application.

-Thanks, Ken

I still can't get this to work. I figured that I'd bump this up to see if anyone responds this time around...


EDIT: Aargh... Of course, this time I was able to find it on Google:

Heart rate support: Polar Wearlink® + transmitter with Bluetooth® and Zephyr heart rate monitor

So, I guess it won't work with a Mio HRM.
