After any water activity, promptly clean and dry the device. Remove water stains from all surfaces and holes. Utilize the device's drainage feature to prevent negative impacts on performance. Water resistance is not permanent and may deteriorate over time; regular inspection at an authorized Huawei service center is recommended.
3. Battery Care
To prolong battery life, avoid extreme temperatures and fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge the device using the provided wireless charger.
