Resetting your Redmi Watch 5 Active to factory settings can be useful for troubleshooting issues or preparing the device for a new user. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
1. Unpair the Watch from Your Phone:
- Open the Mi Fitness app on your phone.
- Navigate to the Home section.
- Scroll down to find your connected device (Redmi Watch 5 Active).
- Click on Unpair at the bottom of the screen to disconnect the watch from your phone[1][4].
2. Perform the Factory Reset:
- On your Redmi Watch 5 Active, press the side button to access the menu.
- Scroll down and select Settings.
- Scroll down again and choose System.
- Look for the Reset option and select it.
- Confirm that you want to erase all data and reset the watch to its factory settings[1][9].
Alternatively, if you prefer a more straightforward method without using the Mi Fitness app for unpairing:
1. Access Settings Directly on the Watch:
- Press the side button to enter the menu.
- Scroll down to Settings.
- Scroll down again to System.
- Select Reset and confirm to erase all data and restore factory settings[9].
After completing these steps, your Redmi Watch 5 Active will be restored to its original factory settings, erasing all personal data and settings. This process is useful for resolving software issues or preparing the device for resale.
