Operation
The main message unit is small and can be charged through PC, or a standalone 5V-1A power adapter via USB cable also included in the package. That said, The user manual provided with the package came in the Chinese language, but because the design is super user-friendly so it’s easy to operate it without reading any instructions.
For main control buttons, you have two buttons with (-) (+) signs that basically let you adjust the Messaging level from low to higher intensive, those increasing power and muscle contraction. to switch the unit on or off you will need to continuously press the power buttons for a few seconds. Having said that, It’s recommended placing the massage unit on the skin area with minimal hair that can be pulled during the muscle contraction, that can feel less pleasant. Also preferably place it in a reachable location on the body where it’s reachable by hand.
One of the drawbacks of this product is that if you place it for example on the lower back you may have some minor difficulty in operating the power and control buttons so you may need another person to help you. To solve this issue, Xiaomi could have done a better job by adding mobile phone connectivity support or at least providing a simple Bluetooth remote unit.
