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.
• 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.

third-party application providers. Third party vendors use this
information to improve their products and services.

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.

• 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.

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.
