Important information about the  battery 
 If the battery has not been used for a long period of time or if the battery power is

charge for a few minutes before attempting to power on your device.  
 The HUAWEI MediaPad may generate excessive heat on its surface after continuously 
running for a long period of time, especially in a high temperature environment. 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 provid ed 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 ob jects. 
 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.
