All pictures and illustrations in this document are for your reference only and may differ from the
final product.
Some features in this guide may not be supported by certain devices or carriers.

1
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.
lThe SIM card slot only supports nano-SIM cards. Contact your carrier for a new or
replacement nano-SIM card.
lOnly use standard nano-SIM cards to avoid damaging the SIM card tray.
lEnsure that the card is in the correct position and keep the card tray level when inserting it into
your device.
lBe careful not to hurt yourself or damage your device when using the SIM eject pin.
lStore the SIM eject pin out of the reach of children to prevent accidental swallowing or injury.
lThe 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.
1Touch and hold the power button and touch to turn off your device.
2To remove the card tray, insert the SIM eject pin included with your device into the small hole

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
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.
lIf 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.
lYour 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.

If another USB connection mode has been selected, swipe down from the status bar to open the
notification panel. Touch Charging via USB, and then select Charge only.
Safety information
lOnly use genuine Huawei batteries, chargers, and USB cables to charge your device. Third-
party accessories are a potential safety hazard and may impair your device's performance.
lYou 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 authorized Huawei service center for a replacement. If the battery is
removable, replace it with a genuine Huawei battery.
lYour 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.
lCharging times may vary depending on the ambient temperature and the remaining battery
level.
lAvoid using your device when it is charging. Do not cover your device or the charger.
