Need to pay attention to several points:
1. This feature is only xiaomi notebook pre-installed Windows 10 system (earlier version, please upgrade to 14393) can be used, Self-install Windows10 or other systems, or other non-xiaomi laptop will not be used. In addition, if the system is pre-installed by the system upgrade to the Professional Edition or other Windows10 version of the theory is not affected.
2. This feature requires the computer can find miband Bluetooth signal, you must first turn on the miband Bluetooth radio function;
3. Because the mi band connection is one-to-one, so if you want to connect the laptop computer, cell phone connection must be disconnected;
4. Must be set to Microsoft account PIN code login; since this function is actually input in place of the PIN, so sleep, hibernation or other non-working state, the need to wake up the computer to enter the PIN code interface in order to unlock. Restart, shutdown and then enter the system login interface can not be directly unlocked, you need to use the password to enter the system and then lock the computer or sleep then it can continue to use.
5. Similar to fingerprint unlock phone, after the boot or restart, you need to verify the digital or pattern password and you can use the fingerprint, this scene change to your computer, when the computer just boot, reboot, re-login after log off, Mi Band 2 unlock still need to verify the device, this time can not be completed mi band unlock, the normal PIN code to enter the system then you can use the xiaomi bracelet 2 to unlock you mi air book.
