Troubleshooting & Settings

You should note these things before connecting:

1. Make sure that your phone’s Bluetooth is on
2. Select China as the country/region on App
3. The supported Wifi network for the connection is only 2.4GHz
4. Make sure that the standby mode is turned on of the walking pad (after the wifi indication blinks)

Xiaomi WalkingPad A1 and A1 Pro use Bluetooth to connect itself to the phone. Once the app detects the device, it grabs an IP from the 2.4GHz Wifi network. The connection is only possible if the router is DHCP, can send the IP to the WalkingPad and the whole setup is updated on the Mi cloud. If your router is non-DHCP, or there’s a firewall on the router, it won’t connect.

Note: Once you have connected the walking pad to the app, it will be in Novice mode and the maximum speed you can reach is only 3 km/h. So you need to go through the Novice mode to move to the Auto-mode where the speed will increase from 3 km/h.
