Wireless headsets users often wonder about how to end the device properly so as not to drain the battery in vain. Redmi Airdots 2, being one of the most popular budget models on the market, have a specific logic of operation that may not be obvious to beginners. Unlike wired counterparts, there is no physical "Power" button in the usual sense, which causes a number of difficulties in operation.
The wrong treatment of the gadget can lead to the fact that TWS-The headphones will remain in active search or connection mode, consuming energy even when they are in your pocket, and understanding the principles of the indicators and sensors allows you to significantly extend battery life without the need for constant recharging of the case. In this article, we will discuss in detail all ways to turn off, as well as nuances that are not written in the official manuals.
Xiaomi's modern gadgets have an intelligent power management system, but it requires the right interaction on the part of the owner. We'll look at the standard methods, working with the charging case and actions in situations where the device freezes or does not respond to commands. Full shutdown only occurs when you place the headphones in a case with the cover closed or when the battery is completely discharged. Let's go into the technical details.
Principles of the energy saving system
Redmi Airdots 2 is designed to minimize user involvement in routine processes. The main trigger for going to sleep or turning off completely is detecting the absence of an audio signal or physical extraction from the ears (in some modifications), but relying on automation alone is not always effective, especially if you plan to store the device for a long time.
Inside each earbud, there's a controller that monitors the status of the Bluetooth connection, and if the phone is disconnected for a long time, the device goes into deep sleep mode, but doesn't shut down completely, continuing to scan the airwaves periodically for re-pairing, which is standard behavior for Bluetooth Low Energy protocol, allowing for a quick start on the next use.
It's worth noting that a constant background search of the network can cause a case to be discharged if the headphones were not placed inside and the contacts did not close, in which case the controllers continue to work, consuming current. Therefore, visual checking the position of the liners in the charging recesses is a mandatory procedure to save resources.
⚠️ Warning: If the headphones keep flashing after they're in the case, it's a bad contact signal.
Understanding these processes helps avoid situations where the headset is discharged by the time it is needed. Manufacturers strive to balance convenience with energy efficiency, but the end result depends on the owner’s use cases.
Staffing method of shutdown through charging case
The most common and recommended way to complete the Xiaomi Redmi Airdots 2 is to use a charging case, which is when not only energy is stored, but also the logical end of the communication session. The mechanism is simple: when you place the insert in the case nest and close the contacts, the controller receives a signal to start charging and forcibly breaks all active connections.
The process is, you take the headphones out of your ears, you open the case cover, and you put the devices in the appropriate recesses, and at that point the LEDs on the headphones themselves should light up red, signaling that you're starting to charge, and if the lights don't catch fire, then the contact is not established, and the shutdown hasn't happened.
☑️ Correct installation in the case
It is important to monitor the charging pins themselves inside the case, which can accumulate earwax or oxides over time, which prevents current from passing and, as a result, turning off the device, and regular prevention allows you to keep the system in working order.
Once the headphones are installed, it is recommended to close the case cover. Although many models retain charge with the lid open, closing creates an additional barrier to accidental pressing and protects against external factors, this is especially true when transporting.
Alternative ways of completing work
There are situations where the charger case is not possible, such as lost, damaged or forgotten at home, where users are looking for ways to turn off Redmi Airdots 2 manually. Unfortunately, there is no software button on the smartphone interface for these headphones, since energy saving is delegated to the hardware.
The only software method is to break the connection through the Bluetooth settings on the phone, so you can go to the Bluetooth menu, find the Mi True Wireless EBs Basic 2 device, and hit "Switch off" or "Forget the device," which doesn't physically turn off the headphones, but puts them in standby mode, which reduces power consumption.
If you want to completely de-energize the device without a case, you just have to wait for the battery to run out completely, but there's one caveat: if you pinch the touchpad on the headphone on the headphone on the headset. 20-30 In some versions of firmware, you can initiate a reboot or enter pairing mode, but not completely shut down.
