speeds. Using other chargers or USB cables may cause your device to continuously restart
or increase the charging time. It may also cause the charger to overheat, or even damage

l If your device does not respond when you press the power button, the battery is probably
empty. Charge your battery for at least 10 minutes (use the charger that came with your
device), and then restart your device.

other devices. If your device detects that the USB port is wet, it will automatically stop
charging and display a safety message. If this message is displayed, unplug the USB
cable from your device and allow the USB port to dry out completely to avoid damaging
your device or battery.

party accessories are a potential safety hazard and may impair your device's performance.
l You can recharge your battery many times, but all batteries have a limited lifespan. If you
notice a significant deterioration in your device's battery life, purchase a genuine Huawei
