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.

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.
•
Place your device in a safe area to prevent it from unauthorized use.
•
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.
Appendix

•
Install security software or patches released by Huawei or third-party application providers.
•
Some applications require and transmit location information. As a result, a third-party may be
able to share your location information.
•
Your device may provide detection and diagnostic information to third-party application
providers. Third party vendors use this information to improve their products and services.
List of safety features
Huawei phones come with a series of built-in security measures to keep your data secure.
Full-disk encryption
All data on the memory chipset is automatically encrypted. Each phone
has a different security key, meaning that other devices cannot access
the data stored on your phone's memory chipset.
Fingerprint recognition
Your phone comes with a fingerprint sensor to give you quick and easy
access to your phone's features. For example, you can use your
fingerprint to unlock the screen, access files in your Safe, open locked
applications and more. For more information, see Using fingerprint
recognition.
Harassment filter Use the harassment filter in Phone Manager to block spam calls and
messages. For more information, see Harassment filter.
App Lock
Use the App Lock in Phone Manager to lock applications and prevent
unauthorised access. The App Lock password is required to open locked
applications.
Managing data usage
Use the data management feature in Phone Manager to keep track of
your mobile data usage. Mobile data will be automatically disabled when
you exceed the preset limit to prevent you from incurring excessive data
charges. For more information, see Managing data usage.
Safe
Enable the Safe feature, set a password and then add your confidential
files to prevent unauthorised access. For more information, see Storing
private files in a safe.
MicroSD card
encryption
Encrypt your microSD card to prevent unauthorised access to your data.
A password must be entered when the microSD card is inserted into
another phone. For more information, see Encrypting a microSD card.
SIM lock
Set a SIM card PIN to protect the data stored on your SIM card. If you
have enabled PIN protection for your SIM card, you will need to enter
the PIN each time you turn on your phone or insert the SIM card into
another phone. For more information, see Setting your SIM card PIN.
