replacement nano-SIM card if needed.

•

Only use standard nano-SIM card to avoid damaging the SIM card tray.

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

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
