immediately to prevent it from switching off automatically.
Using a charger to charge your device
Connect your device to a socket using the factory-provided charger and USB cable.

You must use the charger and USB cable that came with your device for quicker charging
speeds. Using other chargers or USB cables may cause your device to continuously restart
or increase the charging time. It may also cause the charger to overheat, or even damage
your device.
lIf your device does not respond when you press the power button, the battery is probably
empty. Charge your battery for at least 10 minutes (use the charger that came with your
device), and then restart your device.
lYour device automatically conducts a safety check when you connect it to a charger or
other devices. If your device 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 device and allow the USB port to dry out completely to avoid damaging
your device or battery.
Using a USB port to charge your device
If you do not have access to a charger, you can charge your device by connecting it to a
computer with a USB cable.

notification panel. Touch File transfer via USB, and then select Charge only.

your device to charge another device with a USB Type-C cable.
1Use a USB Type-C cable to connect your device to the other device.
2On your device, swipe down from the status bar to open the notification panel, and then set
the USB connection mode to Reverse charging.
3On the other device, set the USB connection mode to Charge only.
To use another device to charge your device, set the USB connection mode to Charge only on
your device, and then set the USB connection mode on the other device to Reverse charging.
Safety information
lOnly use genuine Huawei batteries, chargers, and USB cables to charge your device. Third-
party accessories are a potential safety hazard and may impair your device's performance.
lYou can recharge your battery many times, but all batteries have a limited lifespan. If you
notice a significant deterioration in your device's battery life, purchase a genuine Huawei
replacement battery. Do not attempt to remove built-in batteries. If your device has a built-in
battery, contact an authorized Huawei service center for a replacement. If the battery is
removable, replace it with a genuine Huawei battery.
