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.

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.

Visit the official Huawei website and download the user guide for your device for information

Unboxing your Phone

on how to care for your battery.

Battery status indicator

The battery status is indicated by your phone's indicator light and the battery icon in the status

bar.

•

If the status indicator blinks red and the battery icon changes to the battery level is below

10%.

•

The status indicator and the battery icon indicate the battery status during charging. A red

status indicator and a battery icon indicate that the battery level is below 10%. A yellow

status indicator and a battery icon indicate that the battery level is between 10% and 80%.

A green status indicator and a battery icon indicate that the battery level is between 80%

and 100%. A green status indicator and a battery icon indicate that the battery is fully

charged and you can unplug the charging cable from your phone.

If your phone does not respond when you press the power button, this indicates that the battery

is empty. Charge your battery for at least 10 minutes using a genuine Huawei charger, and then

turn on your phone.

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 .

If your phone does not respond after holding down the power button for 20 seconds, the

battery may be empty. If so, connect your phone to a charger to charge the battery.
