Charging your phone
Your phone comes with a long-lasting battery and efficient power-saving technology. This section
outlines how to care for your battery in order to maximise its lifespan.
Using your battery

•

You can recharge your battery many times, but all batteries have a limited lifespan. If you
notice a significant deterioration in your phone's battery life, contact an authorised Huawei
service centre for a replacement battery. The battery is built into the phone and is not
removable. Do not attempt to remove the battery yourself.

•

Your phone may become warm after prolonged use or when exposed to high ambient
temperatures. This is entirely normal. If your phone becomes hot to the touch, stop charging it
and disable unnecessary features. Place your phone in a cool location and allow it to cool down
to room temperature. Avoid prolonged contact with the surface of your phone if it becomes
hot.
10

Unboxing your Phone

• When charging your phone, only use genuine Huawei batteries, chargers and USB cables. Thirdparty accessories are a potential safety hazard and may impair your phone's performance.
Avoid using your phone when it is charging. Do not cover your phone or the power adapter.

•

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

•

A low battery warning will be displayed when the battery level is low.

•

Your phone will switch off automatically when the battery is nearly empty.

Visit the official Huawei website and download the user guide for your device for information on
how to care for your battery.
Battery status indicator
The battery status is indicated by your phone's indicator light and the battery icon in the status
bar.

• If the status indicator blinks red and the battery icon changes to

, the battery level is below

10%.

•

The status indicator and the battery icon indicate the battery status during charging. A red
status indicator and a

battery icon indicate that the battery level is below 10%. A yellow

status indicator and a

battery icon indicate that the battery level is between 10% and 80%.

A green status indicator and a

battery icon indicate that the battery level is between 80%

and 100%. A green status indicator and a

battery icon indicate that the battery is fully

charged and you can unplug the charging cable from your phone.
If your phone does not respond when you press the power button, this indicates that the battery
is empty. Charge your battery for at least 10 minutes using a genuine Huawei charger and then
turn on your phone.

Turning your phone on and off

Personal Information and Data Security
The use of some functions or third-party applications on your device could result in your personal
information and data being lost or becoming accessible to others. Several measures are
recommended to help you protect personal and confidential information.

•

Set your device screen to lock and create a password or unlock pattern to open it.

•

Periodically back up personal information kept on your SIM card, memory card, or stored in
your device memory. If you change to a different device, be sure to move or delete any personal
information on your old device.

•

If you are worried about viruses when you receive messages or emails from a stranger, you can
delete them without opening them.

•

If you use your device to browse the Internet, avoid websites that might pose a security risk to
avoid theft of your personal information.

• If you use services such as Wi-Fi tether or Bluetooth, set passwords for these services to prevent
unauthorized access. When these services are not in use, turn them off.

•

Install or upgrade device security software and regularly scan for viruses.

•

Be sure to obtain third-party applications from a legitimate source. Downloaded third-party
applications should be scanned for viruses.
