Features of the use of tracker

The Fitness Bracelet Xiaomi Mi Band Pulse in the instructions in Russian is represented as a gadget, which has the level of protection according to the IP67 standard. This implies protection against splashes of water and exposure to dust. The bracelet is able to withstand immersion under water to one meter depth, but is not adapted for regular use in such conditions.
Sometimes interruptions in the synchronization between the bracelet and the smartphone are possible. This happens due to the effects of radio signals, which act as interference for bluetooth technology. The device, however, can cope with this problem and independently restores communication with the application on the phone.
To date, mobile technologies entered the life of almost every person and occupy a leading position in it, if we talk about the frequency of use of certain devices. A modern smartphone is not positioned for a toy for a long time, since its functionality has turned the device into a full-fledged working complex. The developers were cut off on time, which can earn, and therefore began to create various accessories (bracelets, clocks) and gadgets, expanding the functionality of the already smart mobile phones. The following is detailed for Xiaomi Mi Band 2 instructions with all the nuances of using the bracelet and the MI FIT application, at the expense of which the device is connected and synchronized with the smartphone.
In fact, then the Xiaomi Mi Band contains instructions in Russian, but it is natural to start naturally with the very unpacking of the product. If the original bracelet was purchased and the appearance of the packaging, then you need to start working with charging the device to finally confirm its authenticity and prepare for first use.

Terms of use of the charger and tracker
For MI Band, the setting is an important stage, but you still need to learn how to charge the bracelet correctly. By connecting a new band, you need to pull the tracker from the strap, and then insert it into the charger with contacts inside (as deep as possible, but without effort). Then the charger must be inserted into your computer's free USB port (recommended) or a USB adapter for a standard outlet. The charging time of the bracelet does not exceed two hours.
The level of the tracker's charge is marked with three LEDs flashing in the process of charging and evenly luminous when the device is fully charged. The standard time of the first charging cycle is about 2 hours. All subsequent charging will occupy much less time. The tracker needs to be charged completely, it is also worth avoiding non-standard charging methods, since the incorrect current supply will cause the device to burn.

- Even below, settings are the objectives of the bracelet owner, notifications about the collected statistics, other settings and services.
Other possibilities of bracelet
This list of useful functions MI BAND does not end.
It is worth highlighting the following features:

Everything is simple enough: three indicators were described above, in the working condition of the bracelet (not on charge) are used to measure the level of achievement of goals. To activate this feature, you need to make a certain gesture, raise your hand and turn the bracelet to yourself, as if watching the clock.

Performance features of the bracelet
What you should know about the features that are not included in the description, but playing an important role:
- The device has "waterproofability", but this does not mean that it can float. The bracelet can not be removed in the shower, in the rain or when washing dishes. A short dive to a depth of 1 meter The device is likely to stand, but it is better not to risk. Especially fear of salt water in the resorts.
- Automatic recovery of contact with smartphone. The cause of rare cases of disynchronization may be interference, created by other devices running with Bluetooth wireless connection. The tracker when disabling independently continues attempts to restore the connection until another synchronization.
- Long service life without recharging. The average user MI Band 2 can do without recharging the bracelet for about a month. This time decreases if the device is constantly synchronized with the smartphone.
- Convenient fixing the housing in the strap. There is only a slight risk that the tracker will be squeezed from the fixing compartment on its elastic and elastic strap. However, this situation is possible only with excessive mechanical pressure on the device.
- Real utility of the bracelet for the body. Naturally, the device will not remind the owner of how much you need to walk / run, sleep, eat, etc. This is only auxiliary tool that simplifies the process of achieving the optimal condition of the body and spirit.
- It is worth mentioning about the curve translation, with the result that you can see the temperature parameter, in fact it was so translated burned calories.
Alternative models of bracelet.
As an alternative version for the considered MI Band 2, we have written for MI Band 1S user manual indicating the main differences of this device.
What you need to know about this bracelet:
- It all also connects to the phone via Bluetooth wireless technology.
- When first use, asks for it, and in the future requires this procedure in about a month of operation.
- To work properly, you will need to enter your data in the MI FIT, and then using the detailed guide presented above, to connect and configure.
Differences with a newer (second) version are not so much. When considering the MI Band 1S Pulse, the instruction to it makes it clear that this model with the Pulse prefix is \u200b\u200bdirected precisely for measuring the heart rate of the owner.
Naturally, Mi Band 2 also knows how to do this, but in this modification, the pulse analysis is made from different sides:
- measurements are made by means of phototypes;
- the data is displayed on the display in 15 seconds;
- the work of the bracelet is carried out in active (with manual activation) and passive (everyday) mode (2 times per minute).
The disadvantage is that the Xiaomi Mi Band 1S Pulse fitness bracelet will not measure the pulse when the charge is reduced below the value of 10%.
Outcome
Of the foregoing, it is important to understand only that to achieve optimal physical condition and high level of health, not enough to buy a bracelet, entering its parameters and properly configuration. Regular sports, walking and steadily active lifestyle is what remains for the owner of the bracelet.
Despite the fact that Xiaomi has already released the third version of the fitness bracelet, Xiaomi Mi Band 2 is still one of the most popular fitness bracelets in the world. Instructions on the use of this gadget on the Internet mass, but since its launch has passed quite a lot of time, therefore the tracker itself and the MI Fit application received some updates.
We decided to make updated instructions for in Russian. We will also try to answer the most frequently asked questions on this gadget, for example, how to enable MI Band 2, how to set up a smart alarm clock, how to restart, etc.
To begin with, let's go through the main functions and capabilities of MI Band 2. Even from the very definition of the "fitness bracelet" it is clear that its main functions are aimed at tracking activity and sports. One of the most useful features of the device is the pulse frequency measurement. Also, thanks to the built-in accelerometer and gyroscope, the tracker may consider steps, distance and calories.
He can also evaluate sleep quality, remind of activity, wake in the mornings of light vibration on hand, etc. From the smart functions of MI Band 2 supports calls, SMS, and messages from social networks, and, of course, display time and date.
If standard functions are not enough, they can be expanded using third-party applications. For example, configure smart alarm clock, managing the music of a smartphone, etc. But, about this later.
Setting up Xiaomi Mi Band 2
The bracelet setting is very simple and will not take much time.
How to enable / disable MI Band 2
The question is how to enable MI Band 2 usually occurs immediately after unpacking. The answer is simple - no way. If the tracker is charged with a battery, it is already automatically enabled and ready to pair with a Bluetooth smartphone. If, after clicking on a single sensor button at the bottom of the screen, it will not turn on, then the battery is discharged or the device is faulty. There are no other options.
With the shutdown of the device, the situation is approximately the same. You will not be able to turn it off. The only way is to wait for the battery discharge. Some users for rebooting or turning off the tracker resort to unusual ways: put it in the freezer for several days or closed the contacts of the bracelet. However, we strongly recommend this. This can lead to a battery malfunction or the entire tracker.
To charge the battery, first of all you need to remove the capsule from the strap. This is done by easy melting capsule inside. To charge the bracelet, use the "native" charger supplied in the kit. Connect it recommended to the USB port of the computer, laptop, or power adapter with the output current no more than 500 - 700 mA.
Of course, you can also charge a Power bank or a higher current adapter at the output, but this will lead to a faster wear of the battery. The full charge of the battery will require approximately 1.5 hours.
Charger at Xiaomi Mi Band 2 specific, so unpleasant if it broke or lost. But even if it happened, it did not matter. In any Chinese online store it costs less than a dollar, for example.
To fully use all the functions of the fitness bracelet, you need to connect to a smartphone or tablet. The gadget runs the operating system Android 4.4 or iOS 7 and more new versions. Mi Fit application is used for pairing and configuration. To date, the version of Mi Fit 3.4.6 is relevant. For smartphones running Windows, another application will be required, such as Bind Mi Band.
The application can be downloaded from here, or find by name in Google Play Market Apps for Android smartphones and AppStore for iOS devices. After downloading it must be installed and run.

The bracelet will remember the movement at every lesson, and in the future it will take steps as accurately as possible.

Buying smart devices, you must read the instructions for them. The same applies to work with, it would seem like this simple gadget, as the bracelet Xiaomi Mi Band 2. He is a sports smart tracker, which, with the help of a special program, fite establishes communication with the smartphone. And on the smartphone, in turn, all physical indicators of the human bracelet are visible. But that all this has earned, you need to correctly install the application and make sure settings, and not everyone is capable of such an instruction.
That's just the company sends the instruction in Chinese, so that even with the dictionary to figure out what is written in it, too complicated. But pleases that the folk craftsmen translated a guide to Siaomi gadgets, thanks to which the use of the MI FIT app was much more convenient. At least, now they do not have to do all the settings, trying to guess which of them will allow to calculate the pulse of the athlete, and which is suitable for tracking his steps.
Charging is the first thing to pay attention to the instructions in order not to break the gadget, just bought it. Immediately after buying a fitness bracelet, the following manipulations should be performed:
- Unpack the device and carefully pull the tracker from the strap (it happens that the tracker comes in a separate package, then this procedure is irrelevant).
- Take the charger and install MI Band 2 in it, but so that it is contacting inside. Do not overdo it by installing the tracker. It is important that it is placed neatly, but backed tightly.
- Next, the bracelet must be charged, and you can do it if it is connected to the port of the computer or to the outlet. But the option with the computer is preferable. The fact is that the gadget is very sensitive to voltage drops, which in the network often happen, therefore may break.
- Leave the gadget approximately for two hours, and the charge will be complete. To check at what level it is enough to look at the charging level indicator. When the bracelet can work fully, three LEDs on the device will shine uniform light.
What is interesting, two hours is the time for the first charging. Applications of subsequent charging will occupy much less time if you do everything right now.

Installing the MI FIT and account registration
After the device is fully charged, the gadget should be connected to the smartphone. This is a mandatory step that allows you to fully use, since without this it is only an ornament that does not bring any benefit except decorative.
That is why it is so important to download and install on your smartphone Mi Fit. Here are some features of working with this application:
- To download an application on an Android smartphone, you need to go to Play Market and find among Mi Fit applications;
- For owners of EPL smartphones, the application should be signed on the App Store;
- After the application was downloaded, further settings should be made through the browser or on the smartphone itself, depending on how convenient.
Go to activation of the account you can right in the program itself, so as not to look for the site on the network. The setting is quite understandable, even if the user first faces such a gadget. On Mi Band 2, the instruction of which is now being seen, it is very easy to create a program and register in it.
But there are some restrictions both when registering with smartphones on android and from Apple products. In the first case, in order for the smartphone to be installed at least the Android 4.3 operating system and the Bluetooth 4.0 working module. But in the case of the EPL, the situation is so that the smartphone should work on the operating system not lower than iOS 7.0, that is, be not younger than iPhone 4S.
Setting up the program
In order to ensure normal operation of the program, you need to synchronize the tracker and smartphone. And this can be done using the operating manual, which indicates the initial settings and when to do them.
So, if the program started, a person who plans to use it, should specify the following data. It is advisable not to sick and specify the most reliable information:
- The first step is to authorize. Since you are already when you downloaded the application and performed the first settings, you will cope with this task.
- The second step is to specify your name.
- Further setting requires specifying the floor of the bracelet owner, since men and women are different pulse frequency, and other processes in the body pass differently.
