Personal Information and Data
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. Several measures are
recommended to help you protect personal and
confidential information.
• Place your device in a safe area to prevent it from
unauthorized use.
• Set your device screen to lock and create a password
or unlock pattern to open it.
• Periodically back up personal information kept on
your SIM/UIM card, memory card, or stored in your
device memory. If you change to a different device,
be sure to move or delete any personal information
on your old device.
• If you are worried about viruses when you receive
messages or emails from a stranger, you can delete
them without opening them.
• If you use your device to browse the Internet, avoid
websites that might pose a security risk to avoid theft
of your personal information.
• If you use services such as Wi-Fi tethering or
Bluetooth, set passwords for these services to
prevent unauthorized access. When these services
are not in use, turn them off.
• Install or upgrade 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 third-party application providers.
