be replaced. If you notice significantly reduced battery life, replace the
battery. Your phone's built-in battery is not user-removable. To replace the
battery, contact an authorized service center. Do not attempt to remove it

• If your phone has been running for long periods of time, especially in hot
environments, heat may be pushed to the surface of the phone. If your
phone is overheating, cease using it immediately and unplug it from any
power source to let it cool down. Do not hold on to the phone for too long
to avoid burn injuries.
• Use the original battery, power adapter, and USB cable to charge your
phone. Using third-party accessories may reduce your phone performance
or pose security risks. When your phone is charging, do not operate it or
cover the phone or power adapter with any object.
