• Use an HONOR adapter, a computer USB port, or a power adapter that complies with applicable national/regional regulations and international and regional safety standards. Other adapters and mobile power supplies (power banks) may not meet applicable safety standards and may cause problems such as slow charging, incomplete charging, and heat generation. Exercise caution while using such adapters and mobile power supplies.
• Before charging, keep the charging port and the surface of the charging dock dry and clean to prevent short circuits or other risks. Do not charge or use the product in an environment where flammable and explosive items are stored.
