Connect your phone to a mains socket using the charger and USB cable that came with your
phone.
l If your phone does not respond when you press the power button, the battery is probably
empty. Charge your battery for at least 10 minutes using a genuine Huawei charger, and
then turn on your phone.

other devices. If your phone 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 phone and allow the USB port to dry out completely to avoid damaging
your phone or the battery.
Using a USB port to charge your phone
If you don't have access to a charger, you can charge your phone by connecting it to a computer

Safety information
l Only use genuine Huawei batteries, chargers, and USB cables to charge your phone. Third-
party accessories are a potential safety hazard and may impair your phone'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 phone's battery life, you will need to purchase a
replacement battery. Do not attempt to remove built-in batteries. If your phone has built-in
battery, contact an authorised Huawei service center for a replacement. If the battery is
removable, replace it with a genuine Huawei battery.
l Your phone may become warm after prolonged use or when exposed to high ambient
temperatures. If your phone becomes hot to the touch, unplug the USB cable, disable non-
essential features, and avoid prolonged skin contact. Place your phone in a cool location and
allow it to cool down to room temperature.
l Charging times may vary depending on the ambient temperature and the remaining battery
level.
l Avoid using your phone when it is charging. Do not cover your phone or the charger.
