Important information about the battery
If the battery has not been used for a long period of time or if the battery power is
depleted, then you may not be able to power on the HUAWEI MediaPad immediately
after you begin charging the battery. This is normal since the battery must be allowed to
charge for a few minutes before attempting to power on your device.
The HUAWEI MediaPad may generate excessive heat on its surface after continuously
running for a long period of time, especially in a high temperature environment. When
the HUAWEI MediaPad becomes hot, stop charging, close running applications, and
move it to a cool place. Avoid holding on to the overheated HUAWEI MediaPad for too
long for risk of burn injuries.
It is strongly recommended that you use the charger and USB cable provided with the
HUAWEI MediaPad to charge the device. Using other chargers or USB cables may
cause the HUAWEI MediaPad performance to decline or impose safety risks. When
charging the HUAWEI MediaPad, do not operate or cover it or the power adapter with
any objects.
The battery is rechargeable and has a limited number of charge cycles. When the
HUAWEI MediaPad is used for a long period of time, its standby time will be shortened.
In order to maximize its life span, do not charge the battery too frequently.
The time required to fully charge the battery depends on the ambient temperature and
the age of the battery.
