When the HUAWEI MediaPad becomes hot, stop charging, close running applications, and move it to a cool place. Avoid holding on to the overheated HUAWEI MediaPad for too long for risk of burn injuries.

- It is strongly recommended that you use the charger and USB cable provided with the HUAWEI MediaPad to charge the device. Using other chargers or USB cables may cause the HUAWEI MediaPad performance to decline or impose safety risks. When charging the HUAWEI MediaPad, do not operate or cover it or the power adapter with any objects.

- The battery is rechargeable and has a limited number of charge cycles. When the HUAWEI MediaPad is used for a long period of time, its standby time will be shortened. In order to maximize its life span, do not charge the battery too frequently.

- The time required to fully charge the battery depends on the ambient temperature and the age of the battery.
