Security
The use of some functions or third-party applications on your
device could result in your personal information and data being
lost or becoming accessible to others. Use the following measures
to help you protect your personal information:
•
Put your device in a safe place to prevent unauthorized use.
•
Set your device screen to lock and set a password or unlock
pattern.
•
Periodically back up personal information stored on your SIM
card, memory card, or your device memory. If you change to
a different device, be sure to move or delete any personal
information on your old device.
•
Do not open messages or emails from strangers to prevent
your device from becoming infected with a virus.
•
When using your device to browse the Internet, do not visit
websites that might pose a security risk to avoid your personal
information from being stolen.
•
If you use services such as the portable Wi-Fi hotspot or
Bluetooth, set passwords for these services to prevent
unauthorized access. Turn these services off when they are
not in use.
•
Install device security software and regularly scan for viruses.
•
Be sure to obtain third-party applications from a legitimate
source. Downloaded third-party applications should be
scanned for viruses.
•
Install security software or patches released by Huawei or
authorized third-party application providers.
•
Using unauthorized third-party software to update your
device may damage your device or put your personal
information at risk. It is recommended that you update
through your device's online update feature or download
official update packages for your device model from Huawei.
