Having Mi earbuds is undoubtedly a great experience for smartphone users especially for those who’re seeking a wireless experience. However, these wireless headphones are slightly different from wired ones. The major difference is that these earbuds have an independent power source from the battery installed in each unit. You’d need to charge them whenever the battery power runs out.
Of course, there are different Mi earbuds products but you don’t have to worry because they’re generally user-friendly. What you need to do is follow simple steps to charge your Mi earbud. It should be noted that both the right and left earbuds need to be fully charged before you can start using them. Most recent Mi earbuds like Redmi AirDots S come with a charging box that enables you to deck the earbuds in it instead of using the conventional charger directly.
1. Dock Your Earbuds
For Mi Earbuds with a charging box, you’d need to properly place them inside it. You should have known that it features automatic charging, so as long as it’s connected to the power sources, your earbuds would be automatically charged when plugged in. It may take somewhere between 30-40 minutes to fully charge the Mi Earbuds.
2. Connect USB Charging Cable
After docking your earbuds, you need to plug in the USB charging cable to power up the charging box. Before leaving, ensure that they’re properly connected by checking the indicator state. When you’re charging Mi Earbuds, you’re not only charging the headset but also the charging box.
3. Follow The Indicators
As for the charging box, the steady red indicator light means that it’s not fully charged. You’d find the indicator light off when it’s fully charged but the earbuds have their own charging indicator. The earbuds have a red light that would be long-on when you’re docking and charging them in the charging box. Once the earbuds have been fully charged, you’d notice the light indicator turns white for one minute and then off. Therefore, if you find both the charging box and earbuds have their indicator lights off while the USB charging cable is still plugged, it means they’re fully charged and you’re ready to go.
While Mi Earbuds comes with auto-off full charging, it’s better if you unplug the USB charging cable when they’ve been fully charged.
