Caution:
l When you charge the battery for the first time, please charge it for at least 12
hours.
l The battery discharges if you do not use it for a long time, please charge it before
you use it again.
l The charging time depends on the environmental temperature and the age of the
battery.
l The battery can be recharged repeatedly, but it will eventually wear out. After
normal charging, if the time that the battery powers your phone becomes much
shorter than usual, please replace the battery with one of the same type.
l Do not strike or shock violently the battery or toss it; otherwise, liquid leakage,
body damage, overheating, explosion or fire may occur to the battery.
l Charge the battery by using the charger supplied with your phone.
You can charge the battery at any time you want. And you can use your phone during charg-
ing.
l When you charge the battery with your phone powering on, the battery level icon will
appear on the upper right corner of your phone screen. In battery charging, the horizontal
bars of the icon will blink continuously. When the horizontal bars fill up the whole icon
and the icon stops blinking, it indicates that the charging is completed.
l During charging with your phone powering off, a cylinder icon indicating the power level
of the battery will appear on the screen and will blink continuously. When the cylinder is
filled and stops blinking, it indicates that the charging is completed.
Note:
When the battery power level is very low, the phone makes alarm sounds and dis-
plays corresponding prompt boxes regularly. When the battery power level is too low
to support normal operation of the phone, the phone will switch off automatically.

17 DRM
The U526 supports “Forward Lock”, “Combined delivery” and “Separated delivery” modes
defined in OMA DRM1.0. DRM (Digital Rights Management) is the solution for preventing
the digital contents from piracy and protecting the provider’s interests. Here, the digital con-
tents include Java applications and the multimedia contents such as images, audio and video.
Being attached with the copyright information, theses contents are protected by DRM. The
DRM function controls the usages of these contents on terminals.
The contents that are forbidden to be forwarded and that are protected by DRM (the contents
obtained by “Forward lock” and “Combined delivery” modes) cannot be forwarded to other
devices through USB, serial port, MMS and so on. They cannot generate copies on the same
phone either. While, the contents that are protected by DRM and that are allowed to be for-
warded (the contents obtained by “Separated delivery” mode) can be forwarded to other de-
vices in any way the phone supports. And they cannot generate copies on the same phone.
Attaching copyright information may restrict the use times, use period and validity period in
accessing the protected contents. If the protected content cannot be accessed, it indicates that
the corresponding copyright has been overdue or used up. You can re-obtain the right for the
DRM files in “Separated delivery” mode.
You can find out the copyright information by viewing the properties of the DRM files. You
can also perform deleting, switching and updating functions upon the copyright.
The statuses of the files supported by the U526 are described as below:

Rules for Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
THIS DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO FREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD.
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is turned on, it
emits low levels of radio frequency energy (also known as radio waves or radio frequency
fields).
Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety guidelines,
developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engi-

neers Inc.), through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines
establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the public. The levels include a safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to ac-
count for any variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio fre-
quency energy absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone. The SAR value is deter-
mined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level
of the mobile phone while operating can be well below the value. This is because the mobile
phone is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the network.
All models of Huawei’s mobile phone are designed to meet radio frequency exposure guide-
lines. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested according to
the IEEE Std C95.1 – 1999, RSS-102, Canada’s Safety Code 6 , and EN 50361 and does not
exceed the limit of FCC rule §2.1093, the ANSI/IEEE C 95.1:1999, the NCRP Report Num-
ber 86 for uncontrolled environment, and the Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 and the Indus-
try Canada Radio Standards Specification RSS-102 for General Population/Uncontrolled
exposure, and also does not exceed the limit established by the European Council Recom-
mendation: 1999/519/EC for safe exposure.
The SAR limit adopted by the IEEE Std C95.1 – 1999, RSS-102, and Canada’s Safety Code
6 is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The highest SAR value for
this device type when tested at the head is 0.752 W/kg.
The SAR limit adopted by the IEEE Std C95.1 – 1999, RSS-102, and Canada’s Safety Code
6 is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The highest SAR value for
this device type when tested at the body is 0.490 W/kg.
The SAR limit adopted by the 1999/519/EC is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten
gram of tissue. The highest SAR value for this device type when tested at the head is 0.890
W/kg.
