2. Watch dialing: When the cell phone is normally connected to the watch, the phone call can be initiated through the frequently used contacts, emergency contacts, call records and missed call reminders (cell phone synchronization initiates the dialing);
3. Calls from cell phone to watch: When the cell phone is normally connected to the watch, calls being made on the cell phone side can be made using the watch by switching the calling device to the watch.
50. Q: Why does Redmi Watch 4 occasionally automatically light up the screen when there is no message alert, call alert and no trigger to lift the wrist to light up the screen?
A: Due to the synchronization setting of Mi Fitness App, according to the different usage habits, on average about 15~30 minutes, Mi Fitness App will automatically Apply for synchronization with the watch, and the successful synchronization will trigger the screen of the watch to light up, but the impact of this setting on the product's range is very slight, and it will not lead to a significant reduction in the range, and if the automatic light up affects your sleep state, you can adjust the brightness of the watch by adjusting the brightness of the watch to light up. If the auto-lighting during sleep affects your sleep state, you can adjust the brightness of the watch to the lowest level, and the engineers will continue to interpret and optimize this setting.
VI. Troubleshooting
1. Q: Is Redmi Watch 4 step counting accurate?
A: The principle of step counting: the watch has a built-in acceleration sensor, and the data detected by the acceleration sensor is then combined with the algorithm and the basic information of the human body, which is ultimately converted into information such as the number of steps and consumption.
Factors affecting the number of steps recorded by the watch:
1. Because the principle of the watch to measure walking distance is based on your height, gender and weight to estimate the length of your step, and then multiplied by the number of steps taken by the individual to arrive at an estimated value;
2. Because the step length will vary from person to person, maybe the same height, gender, and weight of the person’s step length will be different, so the final calculated value will also be a large error;
3. The accuracy of counting steps, that is, the number of steps, there are many uncertainties, with each person's behavioral habits will have a great relationship, such as the amplitude of the arm swing walking habits, etc., and the human body activities more scenes (such as walking, riding in a car, driving, bathing, etc.), arm movements are more complex (such as keyboard taping, moving the mouse, lifting and pulling the object, etc.);
4. It is because of the above reasons that the final distance calculated by the watch is also an estimated value, the watch can not be used as a professional measurement tool to measure the distance. We will continue to optimize the software algorithm to calculate more accurate data.
2. Q: Is GPS positioning of the Redmi Watch 4 slow?
A: GPS startup is divided into cold startup, warm startup, and hot startup. Cold start generally occurs in the following situations:
1. When the watch’s GPS function is used for the first time;
2. Watch battery power depletion shutdown leads to the loss of satellite ephemeris information;
3. The watch is displaced more than 200 kilometers when it is turned off.
As the watch GPS positioning system needs to download the satellite ephemeris information in the cold start state, its positioning time will be much longer than the warm start and hot start cases. Considering the way of wearing the watch and the influence of the arm on the GPS antenna, during the cold start (including the first positioning), it is recommended that you choose an open field and keep the dial pointing to the sky under the normal wearing condition of the watch, and the download of the ephemeris and the GPS cold start positioning can be completed within 60 seconds to 90 seconds, and the specific positioning time is related to the weather and the surrounding environment.
The specific positioning time depends on the weather and the surrounding environment. If the watch has not been shifted too much after the last positioning, and the time interval with the last positioning is less than 2 hours, the watch GPS can realize the hot start. In the open field, the watch can be positioned in about 5 seconds if it is worn normally and the dial is pointing to the sky. The specific time is related to the weather and the surrounding environment.
When encountering slow GPS positioning, you can re-open the Mi Fitness App and reconnect the watch to synchronize the data, which will also greatly improve the GPS positioning speed.
3. Q: Why does the Redmi Watch 4 still show the pace information after I have stopped exercising in sports mode?
A: Mileage and pace during sports are determined by time calculation, and the pace will only stop after 10 seconds of stopping the sport (completely stationary).

2. Please press and hold the power button for 16 seconds to restart the watch. After rebooting, please check the version of the watch, please upgrade the watch to the latest version.
14. Q: What should I do if the Redmi Watch 4 is not sensitive to lifting the wrist and lighting up the screen?
A: The function works by relying on the accelerometer sensor inside the watch. You can wake up the screen by tilting your wrist such as flipping and lifting your wrist. However, if the angle of turning your wrist is too small and the speed is too slow it may lead to the problem of not being able to light up the screen.
15. Q: Why the bottom of the Redmi Watch 4's charging cradle and the black strap are prone to getting dusty?
A: There is a layer of specification sticker at the bottom of the charging base of the watch, which can effectively avoid the accumulation of dust, and it is recommended to clean it up in time when you find any dust during use.
The strap is made of TPU and silicone, both strap surfaces are treated with anti-allergic, comfortable and skin-friendly; however, it will inevitably come into contact with dust during wear and use, and the black strap is more obvious, so it is recommended to clean up in time when dust is found during wear.
16. Q: Why does the Redmi Watch 4 only vibrate but not light up the screen when there is a new message reminder?
A: By default, the watch only vibrates and does not light up the screen when it receives a message reminder, and you can lift your wrist to light up the screen or light up the screen manually when you check the message. If you need to light up the screen when receiving message alerts, you can turn on the [Automatically light up the screen when the device receives a message] switch by going to the [Mi Fitness] App >> [Device] >> [App notifications] >> turn on the [Automatically light up the screen when the device receives a message] switch.
