If you bought an inexpensive Chinese product, it is possible that its instructions will not be translated into Russian. Sometimes there is not even an instruction in English. But almost always a Chinese user manual comes with the product.
Don’t worry if you don’t speak or read even Simplified Chinese. Use a Google translator. To do this, download the Google Translate app on your mobile device. It has an image translation mode. Turn on this mode and take a photo of the Chinese manual. The application will translate the hieroglyphs into understandable English speech.
If there is no paper instruction (this also often happens), look for it on the manufacturer’s website. Try to determine who exactly made your bracelet. As a rule, on AliExpress, the manufacturer’s name is indicated in the product description, in the “characteristics” section.
It’s even easier – with the help of a Google translator, you can translate the entire site from Chinese into English. Or in another language that you understand. If this did not help, then there is only one thing left – to try to configure it yourself, through trial and error. Or search on the Internet, according to the name of your device or its manufacturer.
