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/UIM 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.
• 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.
• If you have concerns about the security of your personal
information and data, please contact

Safety information
This section contains important information about the
operation of your device. It also contains information about
how to use the device safely. Read this information carefully
before using your device.
Electronic device
Do not use your device if using the device is prohibited. Do
not use the device if doing so causes danger or interference
with other electronic devices.
Interference with medical equipment
• Follow rules and regulations set forth by hospitals and
health care facilities. Do not use your device where
prohibited.
• Some wireless devices may affect the performance of
hearing aids or pacemakers. Consult your service
provider for more information.
• Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
distance of 15 cm be maintained between a device and a
pacemaker to prevent potential interference with the
pacemaker. If using a pacemaker, hold the device on the
side opposite the pacemaker and do not carry the device
in your front pocket.
Protecting your hearing when using a headset
• Using a headset at high volumes may damage your
hearing. To reduce this risk, lower the headset volume to
a safe and comfortable level.
• Exposure to high volumes while driving may cause
distraction and increase your risk of an accident.

Areas with flammables and explosives
• Do not use the device where flammables or explosives
are stored (in a gas station, oil depot, or chemical plant,
for example). Using your device in these environments
increases the risk of explosion or fire. In addition, follow
the instructions indicated in text or symbols.
• Do not store or transport the device in containers with
flammable liquids, gases, or explosives.
Traffic security
• Observe local laws and regulations while using the
device. To reduce the risk of accidents, do not use your
wireless device while driving.
• Concentrate on driving. Your first responsibility is to drive
safely.
• Do not hold the device while driving. Use hands-free
accessories.
• When you must make or answer a call, pull off the road
safely and park the vehicle first.
• RF signals may affect the electronic systems of motor
vehicles. For more information, consult the vehicle
manufacturer.
• Do not place the device over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area in a motor vehicle. Doing so may hurt
you because of the strong force when the air bag
inflates.
• Do not use your device while flying in an aircraft or
immediately before boarding. Using wireless devices in

an aircraft may disrupt wireless networks, present a
hazard to aircraft operation, or be illegal.
Operating environment
• Avoid dusty, damp, or dirty environments. Avoid
magnetic fields. Using the device in these environments
may result in circuit malfunctions.
• Do not use your device during thunderstorms to protect
your device against any danger caused by lightning.
• Ideal operating temperatures are 0°C to 35°C. Ideal
storage temperatures are 0°C to 45°C. Extreme heat or
cold may damage your device or accessories.
• Do not expose your device to direct sunlight (such as on a
car dashboard) for prolonged periods.
• To protect your device or accessories from fire or
electrical shock hazards, avoid rain and moisture.
• Keep the device away from sources of heat and fire, such
as a heater, microwave oven, stove, water heater,
radiator, or candle.
• Do not place sharp metal objects, such as pins, near the
earpiece or speaker. The earpiece may attract these
objects and result in injury.
• Stop using your device or applications for a while if the
device is overheated. If skin is exposed to an overheated
device for an extended period, low temperature burn
symptoms, such as red spots and darker pigmentation,
may occur.
