 Physical Handling…
 There are three main areas of physical care: the
body, the screen, and the battery. Each has its
own requirements, and you should consider each
separately to ensure your phone remains at peak
condition

 Physical handling continues…
1.The body- The best way to care for the body, or shell, of your Huawei
phone is to keep it is a secure place especially when not in use. This not only shields
the outer surface from disfiguring scratches, but it can also protect the entire phone
from damage and impact

2. The screen- The screen is most important, and most fragile, part of any
smartphone. It is your primary interface, both for input and output. You control the
phone through the screen, and the screen is necessary for almost all functionality.
Do not operate your smartphone with dirty hands and find time to clean it regularly
with a soft moist cloth

3. The Battery- Lithium-ion battery phones, have three enemies mainly bad
electricity, water & heat. Heat kills batteries, accelerating normal degradation.
Avoid water getting inside the case onto the battery which introduces rust on the
battery connectors and damages the phone.
