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

level.
