Getting started

Dear customer, thanks for purchasing the Redmi Note 10S 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 attention 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 button on the right side of your phone.

1. Turning on

Press and hold the Power button to turn your phone on.

2. Turning off

Press and hold the Power button until the menu appears. Tap Power off.

If your device doesn't respond, press and hold the Power button for 15 seconds to force

reboot.

3. Rebooting

Press and hold the Power button until the menu appears. Tap Reboot.

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 left 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 left 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 settings

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

Settings > SIM cards & mobile networks.

You can edit SIM card names which are displayed on the dial pad. To do this, go to

Settings > SIM cards & mobile networks and tap your SIM card.

& mobile networks > SIM card settings > Preferred network type.

Safety Precautions

 Observe all applicable laws and rules restricting use of mobile phones in specific situations and environments.  Do not use your phone at petrol stations or in any explosive atmosphere or potentially explosive environment, including fueling areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, or areas where the air may contain chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Obey all posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone or other radio equipment. Turn off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a blasting area or in areas requiring “two-way radios” or “electronic devices” to be turned off to prevent potential hazards.  Do not use your phone in hospital operating rooms, emergency rooms, or intensive care units. Always comply with all rules and regulations of hospitals and health centers. If you have a medical device, please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine whether your phone

may interfere with the device’s operation. To avoid potential interference with a pacemaker,

always maintain a minimum distance of 15 cm between your mobile phone and the pacemaker. This can be done by using your phone on the ear opposite to your pacemaker and not carrying your phone in a breast pocket. To avoid interference with medical equipment, do not use your phone near hearing aids, cochlear implants, or other similar devices.  Observe all aircraft safety regulations and turn off your phone on board aircraft when required.

 When driving a vehicle, use your phone in accordance with relevant traffic laws and regulations.

 To avoid being struck by lightning, do not use your phone outdoors during thunderstorms.  Do not use your phone to make calls while it is charging.  Do not use your phone in places with high humidity, such as bathrooms. Doing so may result

in electric shock, injury, fire, and charger damage.

Security Statement

Please update your phone’s operating system using the built-in software update feature, or visit

any of our authorized service outlets. Updating software through other means may damage the

RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This device is in compliance with Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) limits for general population/uncontrolled exposure (Localized 10-gram SAR for head and trunk, limit: 2.0 W/kg) specified in Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC, ICNIRP Guidelines, and RED (Directive 2014/53/EU). During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure during use against the head with no separation and near the body with a separation of 5 mm. SAR compliance for body operation is based on a separation distance of 5 mm between the unit and the human body. This device should be carried at least 5 mm away from the body to ensure RF exposure level is compliant or lower than the reported level. When attaching the device near the body, a belt clip or holster should be used which does not contain metallic components and allows a separation of at least 5 mm to be maintained between the device and the body. RF exposure compliance was not tested or certified with any accessory containing metal worn on the body, and use of such an accessory should be avoided.

Certification Information (Highest SAR)

SAR 10 g limit: 2.0 W/Kg, SAR Value: Head: 0.597 W/Kg, Body: 0.870 W/Kg (5 mm distance).
