Geing started

Dear customer, thanks for purchasing the Mi 10T Pro/Mi 10T phone. Let’s start
a wonderful journey to use this phone.
Before we get started, let's have a glance at the exquisite design of this
phone.

Set up your device

Before using your phone, you need to set up your phone first. Among a large
number of phone features, some of them require your special aention and
need to be set up carefully.

• Turn phone on and off

• SIM cards & mobile networks

• Display

• Lock screen

Turn phone on and off

You can turn your phone on or off by pressing and holding the Power buon
on the right side of your phone.

1. Turning on
Press and hold the Power buon to turn your phone on.

2. Turning off
Press and hold the Power buon until the menu appears. Tap Power off.
If your device doesn't respond, press and hold the Power buon for 15
seconds to force reboot.

3. Rebooting
Press and hold the Power buon until the menu appears. Tap Reboot.

01

SIM cards & mobile networks

Before enjoying surfing the Internet with your phone, you need to insert a SIM
card or SIM cards into your phone.

1. Inserting SIM, USIM, and UIM cards
Use the provided SIM tray extraction tool to take the SIM tray out of the
side of your phone.
Place your SIM card inside the tray and insert it into your device. If your
phone has two SIM cards inserted, you can set one as the default mobile
data SIM and the other as the default calling SIM, or set call forwarding
between the two SIM cards.

2. Removing SIM, USIM, and UIM cards
Use the provided SIM tray extraction tool to take the SIM tray out of the
side of your phone.
Remove your SIM card from the tray and insert the tray back into your
device.

3. SIM, USIM, and UIM card seings
You can only use the services of one mobile carrier on a single SIM device.
Dual SIM phones provide more options depending on the number of SIM
cards installed.
On a dual SIM device, you can set default SIM cards for making calls and
using mobile data in Seings > SIM cards & mobile networks.
You can edit SIM card names which are displayed on the dial pad. To do
this, go to Seings > SIM cards & mobile networks and tap your
SIM card.
Options for changing preferred network types are available in

Seings > SIM cards & mobile networks > Preferred network type.

Display

You can set the screen brightness, color scheme, and Dark mode according
to your preferences.

1. Adjusting brightness
Go to Seings > Display > Brightness level, and enable Automatic
brightness.
Your phone will automatically adjust the screen brightness according to
the ambient lighting conditions.
You can manually adjust the screen brightness using either of the
following methods:

• Swipe down from the status bar to open the notification panel. Drag the

slider to adjust the screen brightness.

• Go to Seings > Display > Brightness level. Drag the slider to

adjust the screen brightness.

2. Seing a color scheme

Go to Seings > Display > Color scheme, and select the color

scheme that you prefer. Auto mode will be easier on your eyes and is
therefore recommended.

3. Enabling Dark mode
In low light conditions or at night, you can enable Dark mode to apply a
darker color scheme, which helps prevent excessive screen light from
irritating your eyes.

02

Lock screen

Use your device’s screen lock features to secure your device. By default, the
device locks automatically when the screen times out.
Go to Seings > Lock screen > Sleep, and select a sleep period. You
phone is automatically locked if no operations are performed within this
period.
