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°C to 45°C. 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 OPPO, 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.

View more about setting a passcode, face ID and fingerprint on your OPPO phone, see Fingerprint, Face and Passcode.

8.1.2. Smart Lock

Smart lock is an easy and handy way to gain access to your phone.

Turn on Smart Lock options. Go to [Settings] > [Additional Settings] > [Device & Privacy] > [Smart Lock], then enter your phone passcode.

• On-body detection. Once enabled, your device will be kept unlocked while it's with you, like when you are holding it or carrying it. Your device will lock when it detects that it's been set down, like putting it on the table or is away from your body.
• Trusted places. If you have added trusted places, your device will be kept unlocked when it's nearby those areas. For example, if you have added your home as a trusted place and you're 80m away from your house the device will be kept in unlocked mode.
• Trusted devices. If you have added trusted devices, for example, your Bluetooth watch, your car's Bluetooth system, when they are connected, your device will be kept in unlock mode. (Note: Bluetooth connections have a range of up to 100 meters.)
• Trusted voice. Say "OK Google" and save it on your Google account. When you say "OK Google" the next time, your device will be unlocked once it recognizes your voice.

Note: When Smart Lock is on, your phone will remain unlocked if you're carrying the phone, which will quickly drain your phone's battery. This will also lead to accidental commands if you put the phone in your pocket. Therefore, if you want to use Smart Lock, use it wisely and properly.

8.1.3. Payment protection

While you shop online, your OPPO phone will provide protection for the mobile transactions, such as detecting the system, captcha and, app security. You can see the detected information of the current payment environment on the upper-right corner of the screen.

8.1.6. Pseudo Base Station Blocking

Block pseudo base stations. Go to [Settings] > [Security] > [Pseudo Base

Station Blocking] and you will see a list of pseudo base stations if they are identified and blocked by the phone.

8.1.7. Protect Personal Information

Apps automatically read your personal information to access restricted functions, while most of these information are sensitive, such as call history, contacts, messages, and calendar events; some apps will probably engage in malicious activities like uploading or exposing your private data and monitoring your activities. By using this feature, when an app tries to read information that it needs, your phone will provide empty information instead of what you really have, which helps you protect your privacy.

Protect your call history, contacts, messages, and events. Go to [Settings] > [Security] > [Protect Personal Information], then choose an option. You will see a list of apps that require the certain information. If you don't want to give an app your real information, switch the app slider to green, then click [Turn on feature].
