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,

on your old device.

15

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.

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.

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
• To prevent possible hearing damage, do
not listen at high volume levels for long periods.

17
• 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.

18
• 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 -20 °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.
• Do not use your device's camera flash directly in the
eyes of people or pets. Otherwise temporary loss of
vision or damage to the eyes may occur.

use by children. Children should only use the device
with adult supervision.

• Using an unapproved or incompatible power adapter,
charger or battery may cause fire, explosion or other
hazards.
