The water clearing mode on the Redmi Watch 5 Active is designed to remove water from the watch's speaker and other parts after exposure to moisture, such as swimming or washing hands. It is recommended to use this mode after activities where the watch might have come into contact with water to ensure optimal speaker performance and prevent potential damage.
To use the water clearing mode, follow these steps:
1. Access the Mode: Go to the main page of your watch, scroll up, and look for the water clearing mode icon. Tap on it to activate the feature.
2. Clearing Process: Once activated, the watch will vibrate for about 10 to 15 seconds as it emits sound waves to expel water from the speaker. Hold the watch firmly and gently shake it to assist in removing water.
3. Deactivation: The mode will automatically turn off after the vibration stops. If water remains in the speaker, you can try gently tapping the watch against your palm to remove any remaining moisture.
**Frequency of Use: You should use the water clearing mode whenever you notice water has entered the watch, especially after swimming or exposure to significant moisture. It's not necessary to use it daily unless the watch has been exposed to water. Regular use after water exposure helps maintain the watch's functionality and ensures the speaker works properly.
**Precautions: Avoid using the watch's speaker until all water has been cleared to prevent damage. Also, remember that the water resistance of the watch is not permanent and may decrease over time, so it's important to avoid direct impacts from swift currents during water activities and not use it in hot showers or saunas[2][3][9].
