Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Redmi Buds 6 Play, adhere to these maintenance guidelines:

Cleaning: Gently clean the earbuds and charging case using a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the device.
Ear Tips: Periodically remove the ear tips and clean them with water and a mild soap solution. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching them to the earbuds.
Charging Port: Keep the USB Type-C charging port free from dust, lint, and other debris to ensure proper charging.
Water Resistance: While the earbuds are IPX4 water-resistant (splash-proof), they are not designed to be fully waterproof. Avoid submerging them in water or exposing them to heavy rain. If they do get wet, dry them thoroughly before placing them back in the charging case or using them.
Storage: When not in use, always store the earbuds in their charging case. This protects them from physical damage and keeps them charged for your next use.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Redmi Buds 6 Play, please consult the following troubleshooting table for possible solutions:

Problem	Possible Solution
Earbuds not pairing or connecting	Ensure Bluetooth is activated on your device. Place both earbuds into the charging case, close the lid, wait a few seconds, then open it again to re-enter pairing mode. On your device, forget or unpair "Redmi Buds 6 Play" from your Bluetooth settings, then attempt to pair again. Press and hold the physical button on the charging case for 5-10 seconds to perform a factory reset of the earbuds (refer to Figure 8).
No sound from one earbud	Confirm that both earbuds are adequately charged. Place both earbuds back into the case, close the lid, and then remove them to re-establish the connection. Attempt to reset the earbuds as described in the pairing troubleshooting steps.
Poor call quality	Ensure the microphones on the earbuds are clean and unobstructed. Move closer to your connected device to maintain a strong Bluetooth signal. While AI noise reduction is effective, extreme environmental noise may still affect clarity. Try to move to a quieter location if possible.
Earbuds or case not charging	Verify that the charging cable is securely connected to both the charging case and the power adapter/source. Inspect the charging contacts on both the earbuds and inside the charging case for any dirt or corrosion. Clean gently if necessary. Try using a different USB Type-C cable and a different power adapter to rule out faulty accessories.
