If water gets into the speaker grill of your Redmi Watch 5 Active, here are some steps you can take to address the issue:
1. Activate the Water Clearing Mode: The Redmi Watch 5 Active comes with a built-in water clearing feature. To use it, follow these steps:
- Wake up your watch by pressing the side button.
- Swipe from the bottom of the watch face to access the quick toggles.
- Look for the eject water icon, which is represented by a watch with two droplets next to it. Tap on this icon to start the water ejection process[1][3][7].
- The watch will emit sounds designed to expel water from the speaker.
2. Hold the Watch Correctly: During the water ejection process, hold the watch with the speaker facing downwards. This helps gravity assist in removing the water from the speaker grill[7].
3. Shake the Watch: After the water ejection process is complete, gently shake the watch to remove any remaining water droplets from the speaker grill[7].
4. Gently Tap the Watch: If some water remains, you can gently tap the watch against your palm to help dislodge any remaining moisture from the speaker[3].
5. Dry the Watch: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away any remaining moisture from the watch's exterior. Avoid using harsh materials or exposing the watch to extreme heat, as this can cause damage[2][7].
6. Avoid Using the Speaker Until Dry: Refrain from using the watch's speaker until you are certain that all moisture has been removed. Using the speaker while it is wet can lead to further damage[3].
By following these steps, you should be able to effectively remove water from the speaker grill of your Redmi Watch 5 Active and prevent any potential damage.
