Reminder

Warning

Highlights important information and tips, and provides
additional information.
Indicates potential problems that may arise if proper care or
attention is not given, such as device damage or data loss.
Warns you about potential hazards that could cause serious
injury.

Unboxing your Phone
Inserting a SIM card and microSD card
Your phone features a 2-in-1 SIM card slot. You can insert two nano-SIM cards, or one nano-SIM
card and one microSD card.
l

The SIM card slot only supports nano-SIM cards. Contact your network provider for a new or
replacement nano-SIM card.

Only use standard nano-SIM cards to avoid damaging the SIM card tray.

Ensure that the card is in the correct position and keep the card tray level when inserting it into
your device.

Be careful not to hurt yourself or damage your device when using the SIM eject pin.

Store the SIM eject pin out of the reach of children to prevent accidental swallowing or injury.

The SIM eject pin should only be used to eject the SIM card tray. Inserting the SIM eject pin
into other holes may damage your device.

Charging your device
Your device displays a low battery warning when the battery is nearly empty. Charge your device
immediately to prevent it from switching off automatically.
Using a charger to charge your device
Connect your device to a socket using the factory-provided charger and USB cable.
2

Unboxing your Phone

You must use the charger and USB cable that came with your device for quicker charging
speeds. Using other chargers or USB cables may cause your device to continuously restart
or increase the charging time. It may also cause the charger to overheat, or even damage
your device.
l

If your device does not respond when you press the power button, the battery is probably
empty. Charge your battery for at least 10 minutes (use the charger that came with your
device), and then restart your device.

Your device automatically conducts a safety check when you connect it to a charger or
other devices. If your device detects that the USB port is wet, it will automatically stop
charging and display a safety message. If this message is displayed, unplug the USB
cable from your device and allow the USB port to dry out completely to avoid damaging
your device or battery.

Using a USB port to charge your device
If you do not have access to a charger, you can charge your device by connecting it to a
computer with a USB cable.

When you use a USB cable to connect your device to a computer or another device, Allow
access to device data? will be displayed in a popup dialog.

Touch No, charge only.

If another USB connection mode has been selected, swipe down from the status bar to open the
notification panel. Touch File transfer via USB, and then select Charge only.
Using your USB Type-C port to charge other devices
USB Type-C connectors are reversible and can be inserted either way up. It is possible to use
your device to charge another device with a USB Type-C cable.

Use a USB Type-C cable to connect your device to the other device.

On your device, swipe down from the status bar to open the notification panel, and then set
the USB connection mode to Reverse charging.

On the other device, set the USB connection mode to Charge only.

To use another device to charge your device, set the USB connection mode to Charge only on
your device, and then set the USB connection mode on the other device to Reverse charging.
Safety information
l

Only use genuine Huawei batteries, chargers, and USB cables to charge your device. Thirdparty accessories are a potential safety hazard and may impair your device's performance.

You can recharge your battery many times, but all batteries have a limited lifespan. If you
notice a significant deterioration in your device's battery life, purchase a genuine Huawei
replacement battery. Do not attempt to remove built-in batteries. If your device has a built-in
battery, contact an authorised Huawei service centre for a replacement. If the battery is
removable, replace it with a genuine Huawei battery.

Unboxing your Phone
l

Your device may become warm after prolonged use or when exposed to high ambient
temperatures. If your device becomes hot to the touch, stop charging it and disable
unnecessary features. Place your device in a cool location and allow it to cool down to room
temperature. Avoid touching the surface of your device for prolonged periods when it becomes
hot.

Charging times may vary depending on the ambient temperature and the remaining battery
level.

Avoid using your device when it is charging. Do not cover your device or the charger.
For more information on charging and battery care, visit http://consumer.huawei.com/ and

the charging voltage and current for shorter charging times.
You must use the charger and USB cable that came with your device to use the quick
charge feature. Using other chargers or USB cables may cause your device to continuously
restart or increase the charging time. It may also cause the charger to overheat or damage
