When the battery level becomes low, charge your HUAWEI MediaPad in a timely manner; otherwise it automatically powers off when the battery power is depleted.

If you are charging the battery for the first time, charge it for at least 12 hours to ensure that your HUAWEI MediaPad can correctly display the battery level.

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.
