Getting to know your phone

Do not cover the light sensor, as this will affect
some of the phone's functions. Ensure that you
use a screen protector that has a purpose-built
hole for the light sensor.

Your phone comes with a nano-SIM card installed
Your phone only supports nano-SIM cards. Contact
your carrier for a new or replacement nano-SIM card.
Only use standard nano-SIM cards to avoid

Ensure that the card is in the correct position and

Charging your phone

Your phone comes with a long-lasting battery and
efficient power-saving technology. This section
outlines how to care for your battery in order to
maximize its lifespan.
2

Using your battery

You can recharge your battery many times, but all
batteries have a limited lifespan. If you notice a
significant deterioration in your phone's battery life,
contact an authorized Huawei service center for a
replacement battery. The battery is built into the
phone and is not removable. Do not attempt to
remove the battery yourself.
Your phone may become warm after prolonged use
or when exposed to high ambient temperatures. This
is entirely normal. If your phone becomes hot to the
touch, stop charging it and disable unnecessary
features. Place your phone in a cool location and
allow it to cool down to room temperature. Avoid
prolonged contact with the surface of your phone if
it becomes hot.
When charging your phone, only use genuine
Huawei batteries, chargers, and USB cables. Third-
party accessories are a potential safety hazard and
may impair your phone's performance. Avoid using
your phone when it is charging. Do not cover your
phone or the power adapter.
Charging times may vary depending on the ambient
temperature and the remaining battery level.
A low battery warning will be displayed when the
battery level is low.
Your phone will switch off automatically when the
battery is nearly empty.

Turning your phone on and off

To turn on your phone, press and hold the power
button until your phone vibrates and the screen
turns on.
To turn off your phone, press and hold the power
button, and then touch
