This document serves as a Quick Start Guide for the Xiaomi 12 Pro, a mobile phone designed to offer a user-friendly experience with its pre-installed MIUI operating system. The guide outlines essential functions, usage instructions, and important safety and regulatory information to ensure proper and safe operation of the device.
The Xiaomi 12 Pro is a digital mobile phone equipped with a range of communication capabilities, including GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, LTE, and 5G NR, along with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. It runs on MIUI, a customized Android-based OS developed by Xiaomi, known for its frequent updates and user-friendly features. The device supports dual SIM cards, allowing users to utilize two different Nano-SIM cards simultaneously, with either card configurable as the primary. This dual SIM functionality extends to various network generations, including 5G, 4G, 3G, and 2G, and also supports Dual SIM VoLTE. The device is designed for general communication, entertainment, and productivity tasks, leveraging its advanced operating system and hardware.
To begin using the Xiaomi 12 Pro, users need to long-press the power button to turn on the device. Once powered on, the device will guide the user through on-screen instructions for initial configuration. The physical layout of the device includes volume buttons and a power button on the side, and a USB Type-C port at the bottom for charging and data transfer.
The SIM card tray is designed to accommodate two Nano-SIM cards. Users are advised to insert standard SIM cards only, as non-standard cards may damage the SIM slot. The dual SIM feature allows for flexible network usage, though 5G connection availability and VoLTE functionality are dependent on the country, carrier, and user environment.
For charging, the device should only be connected to the included or authorized cable and power adapter. It is crucial to disconnect the adapter from both the device and the power outlet once charging is complete, and to avoid charging the device for more than 12 hours.
The MIUI operating system provides a rich set of features based on feedback from a large user base. Users can find more information about the device and its features on Xiaomi's official website and the MIUI website.
Maintaining the Xiaomi 12 Pro involves adhering to several safety and care guidelines to ensure its longevity and safe operation.
Battery Care: The device features a built-in battery. Users are explicitly warned against attempting to replace the battery themselves to avoid damaging the battery or the device. Battery removal or repair should only be performed by an authorized repair center. It is crucial not to disassemble, hit, crush, or burn the battery. If the battery appears deformed or damaged, its use should be stopped immediately. Short-circuiting the battery can lead to overheating, burns, or other injuries. The battery should not be placed in high-temperature environments, as this can cause overheating and explosion. Proper disposal or recycling of the battery, device, and accessories must follow local regulations, and they should not be discarded with household waste.
Environmental Considerations: The device's optimal operating temperature range is 0°C to 40°C. Operating the device outside this range may cause damage. It is important to keep the device dry and avoid using it in places with high humidity, such as bathrooms, to prevent electric shock, injury, fire, and charger damage.
Repair and Accessories: Users should not attempt to repair the device themselves. If any part of the device malfunctions, contact Mi customer support or an authorized repair center. Only authorized accessories compatible with the device should be used. Connecting incompatible devices is discouraged. For AC/DC adapters, the socket-outlet should be easily accessible and located near the equipment.
Software Updates: To maintain security and optimal performance, users are advised to update the phone's operating system using the built-in software update feature or by visiting authorized service outlets. Updating software through unauthorized means may lead to device damage, data loss, security issues, or other risks.
General Safety: The device must be used in compliance with all applicable laws and rules restricting mobile phone use in specific situations and environments. This includes turning off the phone in petrol stations, explosive atmospheres, hospitals (operating rooms, emergency rooms, intensive care units), and on aircraft. When driving, the phone should be used in accordance with traffic laws. To prevent hearing damage, avoid listening at high volume levels for extended periods. During thunderstorms, avoid using the phone outdoors to prevent lightning strikes. When using the device as a wireless charger, it is intended for desktop use and should not be carried. A minimum distance of 20cm from persons should be maintained in wireless charging mode to comply with RF exposure requirements.
Regulatory Compliance: The device complies with WEEE directives for safe disposal and recycling, EU regulations, and FCC regulations. Information regarding RF exposure (SAR) limits and values is provided, emphasizing the importance of maintaining specific separation distances from the body during use to ensure compliance. The device also includes an electronic label for certification information, accessible through the phone's settings.
