• Swipe down to access DND (Do Not Disturb) Mode settings and check battery power and watch connection status.
• Swipe left and right to view all APP features.

Keys Instruction

1. Short Press:

• Wakes up the watch screen when the watch is locked.
• Returns to the dial interface when the watch is on a sub-interface.
• Returns to the previous screen when the watch is on other interfaces.
• Views activity details when the watch is on the sports interface.

2. Long Press:

• Turns on the watch.
• Quickly starts an activity if the "Long press the button" option is turned on.
• Helps reset the watch after selecting "Factory reset".

Wrist Placement and Charging

1. All-day Wearing

For accurate optical heart rate monitoring during all-day wear, position the watch two fingers' width below the wrist bone.

2. Wearing in Sports

Avoid wearing the watch too tightly. During exercise, it should be slightly tighter (snug, but not constricting) than during all-day wearing.

3. Charging

To charge the Amazfit Bip:

• Attach the USB end of the charger to a PC or a standard charging adapter.
• Insert the watch into its charging base, ensuring the two charging pins on the watch's backside align with those on the charging base.
• Once clipped in, the watch face will illuminate, indicating "charging".

Note: The charger adapter output values are DC 5.0V/500mA. It is recommended to use brand phone power adapters or charge the watch by connecting to a computer.

Activity Tracking

1. Starting Activity

There are two ways to start an activity:

• From the watch's home screen, swipe left to find "Activity".
• Long press the physical button to quick start an activity configured in watch Settings.

The Amazfit Bip supports outdoor running, treadmill, cycling, and walking. Before starting an activity, ensure sufficient storage space on the watch. If storage is low, unsynchronized activity data may be overwritten. It is recommended to connect and sync data immediately after finishing an activity to prevent data loss.

For sports modes requiring GPS positioning (outdoor running, cycling, walking), start the activity after GPS successfully acquires a location.

2. Activity Initiated

If the GPS option is initiated and started, the watch will provide a three-second countdown before tracking begins.

3. Alerts during Activity

From the watch's home screen, swipe left to access "Activity" > "Activity settings". Tap "Activity settings" to configure "Auto pause", "Heart rate alert", "Pace alert", and "Distance alert".

• Heart rate alert: Set a value for the watch to alert you if your heart rate exceeds it.
• Pace alert: Set a target pace for the watch to alert you if your pace falls below it.
• Distance alert: Set a desired distance for the watch to alert you (e.g., every 2 mile/km).
• Insufficient space alert: The watch will vibrate to ask if you wish to continue the activity when space is insufficient. Selecting "Continue" will overwrite unsynchronized data. Selecting "End" will stop the activity.
• Space exhaust alert: If space runs out during an activity, the watch will vibrate to alert you and automatically save the activity record.
• GPS status change alert: When choosing an outdoor activity, the watch will vibrate to alert you once GPS is successfully positioned.

4. Basic approach during Activity

On the activity interface, long press the key to pause the activity; short press the key to switch the screen. Screens can also be switched by swiping up or down manually.

5. Suspending/Continuing/Ending Activity

Press and hold the physical button to pause the activity. The paused interface will be displayed. Tap "Continue" to resume or "End" to stop.

Note: If the activity distance is less than 50 meters, the watch will prompt "distance is too short to save".

6. Viewing Activity History

Activity history can be viewed on both the watch and the Mi Fit App.

1) Watch

From the watch's home screen, swipe left to access "Activity" > "Activity history". If an unsynchronized activity record exists, an unsynchronized icon will appear on the right side of the list. This icon disappears after successful synchronization with the app. Tap an activity record to view detailed data.

2) Mi Fit App

Open the Mi Fit App and click "Activity" below the app home page to view all synchronized activity records from the watch.

7. Deleting Activity History

From the watch's home screen, swipe left to access "Activity" > "Activity history". Swipe up until "Delete" appears.

Note: Ensure the activity is synchronized with the app before deleting it from the watch. To delete the record from the app, it must be deleted manually within the app.

8. Activity Settings

From the watch's home screen, swipe left to access "Activity" > "Activity settings". Tap "Activity settings" to configure "Auto pause", "Heart rate alert", "Pace alert", and "Distance alert". Once activated, the corresponding reminders will be performed during the activity.

9. GPS and A-GPS

When starting outdoor running, the watch automatically initiates a search for a GPS signal. This step can be skipped by clicking "Skip", but the watch will continue searching for GPS during the activity.

1. If the GPS option is initiated and started, the watch will provide a three-second countdown before tracking begins. The physical button can be long-pressed to "pause" the activity, then "continue" to resume or "end" to stop.
2. After finishing and syncing, the GPS route and details can be viewed on both the watch and the Mi Fit App.
3. GPS signal reception is better in open spaces. After successful location acquisition, the activity can begin. In crowded areas, raising the arm to the chest can speed up GPS positioning.

Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is a system that allows GPS receivers to obtain information from network resources to aid satellite location. An A-GPS system is particularly useful in locations where satellite signals are difficult to penetrate.

A-GPS helps the watch quickly find a precise position and improves accuracy. A-GPS data updates once a day and is automatically updated each time the watch is synced with the Mi Fit App.

Note: If the watch has not synced with the Mi Fit App for 7 days, A-GPS data will expire, potentially affecting positioning speed.

10. Heart Rate Zone

During activity, the watch calculates the heart rate zone based on personal information. The heart rate zone helps determine the effect and intensity of the activity. The current heart rate zone is displayed next to the heart rate on the watch. After the activity, the duration in each heart rate zone can be viewed from the "Details" page of Activity history on the app.

There are six default zones: Relaxed, Light, Weight, Aerobic, Anaerobic, and VO2 max. These are calculated based on the estimated maximum heart rate, which the watch determines using the common "220 minus age" formula.

Maintenance

The Amazfit Bip is water-resistant, but NOT waterproof.

• Clean the watch and strap periodically with clean water, then dry with a soft cloth.
• DO NOT use shampoo, soaps, or other chemicals to clean the watch, as this may irritate skin or corrode the watch.
• Wipe your wrist and watch with a dry cloth or tissue after workouts, as sweat may interfere with accuracy or cause inaccuracy.
