You can choose from HD mode or Mini mode. Mini mode records in a lower resolution, resulting in smaller file sizes and faster upload speeds.

- Audio will also be recorded, therefore make sure that you are in a quiet environment.

- Recording will stop automatically when you make or receive a call.

- When making a screen recording, you will not be able to use the recording feature in other applications.

Unboxing your Phone

Getting to know your phone

Do not cover the light sensor, as this will affect some of the phone's functions. Ensure that you use a screen protector that has a purpose-built hole for the light sensor.

Inserting a SIM card and microSD card

Your phone's 2-in-1 card slot is located on the upper-left side of the phone. You can insert 2 nano-SIM cards, or 1 nano-SIM card and 1 microSD card.

Tips:

• Your phone only supports nano-SIM cards. Contact your carrier for a new or replacement nano-SIM card.
• Only use standard nano-SIM cards to avoid damaging the SIM card tray.
• Ensure that the card is in the correct position and keep the card tray level when inserting it into your phone.

• Store the SIM eject pin out of the reach of children to prevent accidental swallowing or injury.

2 To remove the card tray, insert the SIM eject PIN included with your phone into the small hole next to the card tray.

3 Insert a SIM card or microSD card into the card tray
4 Insert the card tray back into your phone in the correct orientation.

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 maximise 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 authorised Huawei service centre 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.

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 4%.
• 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 90%.

A green status indicator and a battery icon indicate that the battery level is between 90% 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.
