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
USIM/SIM 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.
