Keep your phone away from water as much as possible

Your phone has been inspected to ensure that its water resistance (not waterproof) performance meets the IEC standard 60529 before shipment. However, water and dust resistance are not permanent conditions, and resistance might decrease as a result of normal use.

Do not place your phone into water while swimming or showering.

About liquid damage repair

1. If my phone is damaged by liquid, should I take it to a Huawei Customer Service Center to have it repaired?
   • If your phone only came into contact with a small amount of water, put your phone in a well-ventilated environment to dry it out. However, if water entered deep inside your phone, this drying method will not work and it may cause damage to the internal components after your phone is powered on. To reduce possible risks, you are advised to take your phone and proof of purchase to an authorized Huawei Customer Service Center for a thorough inspection.
   • If a mixed liquid, such as sea water or soup (it may become corrosive again when moistened even after having dried), or a large amount of water entered your phone, take your phone and proof of purchase to an authorized Huawei Customer Service Center for assistance at your earliest convenience.
2. How will my phone be repaired, and how much will it cost to be repaired?
