1. Welcome Page

2. Safety Information

Read through the following information carefully. Failure to follow these safety precautions could result in danger or illegal activities.

Safe Startup

Do not switch on the device when phone use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.

Traffic Safety First

Traffic safety is always of first importance. Use of phones and headphones

while driving a vehicle or riding a bicycle is not recommended and is illegal in

some areas. Obey and follow all related local laws.

Switching off Device at Gas Stations

Turn off your phone when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere,

such as gas stations or any other fueling area. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire, resulting in serious injury or even death.

Switching off Device When On Board an Airplane

Wireless devices might be prohibited while in the air in some countries or

regions. Obey all related local laws and turn off your phone or switch to airplane

mode.

Switching off Device near Medical Equipment

Hospitals or healthcare facilities might use radio-frequency-sensitive equipment.

Obey the relevant rules and regulations.

Switching off Device at Blasting Areas

To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your phone when in a

“blasting area” or in areas posted “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.

Radiation

Nearly every electronic device gives off radiation. Mobile phone use does not increase the risk of getting brain cancer or other head tumors. Its effect in humans is negligible.

Interference

Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to interference for external sources if inadequately shielded or designed. As a result, your phone may cause interference with other devices.

Temperature

Operate your phone in a place where the temperature is always between 10

to 45 . Using or storing your phone in a too hot or too cold environment might damage the battery, or even cause your phone to short-circuit or burn.

Proper Usage

Use your phone appropriately. Do not touch the antenna area unnecessarily

when the phone is turned on. Do not drop, disassemble, crush, bend, deform,

puncture, incinerate, or insert foreign objects into your phone.

Qualified Maintenance and Service

Never attempt to repair or modify the phone yourself. If your phone has any

hardware or software failure, do not use it until you take it to an authorized service provider. Do not disassemble or root your phone yourself, otherwise the warranty service will be terminated immediately.

Batteries, Chargers and other Accessories

Do not dismantle the built-in lithium-ion battery of your device. Use only the batteries, chargers and other accessories authorized by realme, for third-party accessories might cause damage or danger.

Waterproofness

Your device is not waterproof. Do not use your device in rain, or other wet locations.

Avoiding Hearing Damage

Permanent hearing loss may occur if the receiver, speakerphone, headphones,

or earpieces are used at high volume. You can adapt over time to a higher

volume of sound that may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing.

Set the volume to a safe level to protect your hearing.

Avoiding Eyestrain

Your device’s screen color and brightness might have a different degree of

stimulation to your eyesight. Long-term viewing of your phone in normal or

darker environments will damage your eyesight. When watching video or reading text on your phone, avoid prolonged use, take breaks and turn on eye protection mode to prevent eyestrain.

Glass Parts

The outside cover of your phone’s screen, front/rear camera and flash is made of glass. This glass could break if your phone is dropped on a hard surface or receives a substantial impact. Do not attempt to touch or clean the broken glass. Stop using your phone until the glass is replaced by an authorized service

provider.

Connecting to Other Devices

Before connecting to other devices, carefully read the user manual for more detailed, accurate and safety instructions. Do not connect to incompatible products.

Being Aware of Laser Safety

If your phone supports laser focusing, carefully read the user manual before

using it. Failure to follow instructions might lead to harmful radiation exposure. To prevent direct exposure to laser beam, do not attempt to open your phone’s outer shell, or avoid keeping close contact with laser light.
