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.
• 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
[e-mail].

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.
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.
• 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.
• Do not touch the device's antenna. Otherwise,
communication quality may be reduced.

• Do not allow children or pets to bite or suck the device

safety. Letting children play with the device or its
accessories may be dangerous. The device includes
detachable parts that may present a choking hazard.
Keep away from children.
• The device and its accessories are not intended for use
by children. Children should only use the device with
adult supervision.
Accessories
• Using an unapproved or incompatible power adapter,
charger or battery may cause fire, explosion or other
hazards.
• Choose only accessories approved for use with this
model by the device manufacturer. The use of any
other types of accessories may void the warranty, may
violate local regulations and laws, and may be
dangerous. Please contact your retailer for information
about the availability of approved accessories in your
area.

• For pluggable devices, the socket-outlet shall be
installed near the devices and shall be easily accessible.
• Unplug the charger from electrical outlets and the
device when not in use.
• Do not drop or cause an impact to the charger.
