1. Welcome Page
2. Safety Information
Read through the following information carefully. Failure to follow these
safety precautions could result in danger or illegal activities.
Safe Startup
Do not switch on the device when phone use is prohibited or when it may
cause interference or danger.
Traffic Safety First
Traffic safety is always of first importance. Use of phones and headphones
while driving a vehicle or riding a bicycle is not recommended and is illegal in
some areas. Obey and follow all related local laws.
Switching off at Gas Stations
Turn off your phone when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere,
such as gas stations or any other fueling area. Sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire, resulting in serious injury or even death.
Switching off When Taking an Airplane
Wireless devices might be prohibited while in the air in some countries or
regions. Obey all related local laws and turn off your phone or switch to
airplane mode.
Switching off near Medical Equipment
Hospitals or healthcare facilities might use radio-frequency-sensitive
equipment. Obey the relevant rules and regulations.
Switching off at Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off your phone when in a
“blasting area” or in areas posted “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and
instructions.
Radiation
Nearly every electronic device gives off radiation. Mobile phone use does not
increase the risk of getting brain cancer or other head tumors. Its effect in
humans is negligible.
Interference
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to interference for external
sources if inadequately shielded or designed. As a result, your phone may
cause interference with other devices.
Temperature
Operate your phone in a place where the temperature is always between 10℃
to 45℃. Using or storing your phone in a too hot or too cold environment
might damage the battery, or even cause your phone to short-circuit or burn.
Proper Usage
Use your phone appropriately. Do not touch the antenna area unnecessarily
when the phone is turned on. Do not drop, disassemble, crush, bend, deform,
puncture, incinerate, or insert foreign objects into your phone.
Qualified Maintenance and Service
Never attempt to repair or modify the phone yourself. If your phone has any
hardware or software failure, do not use it until you take it to an authorized
service provider. Do not disassemble or root your phone yourself, otherwise
the warranty service will be terminated immediately.
Batteries, Chargers and other Accessories
Do not dismantle the built-in lithium-ion battery of your device. Use only the
batteries, chargers and other accessories authorized by OPPO, for third-party
accessories might cause damage or danger.
Waterproofness
Your device is not waterproof. Do not use your device in rain, or other wet
locations.
Avoiding Hearing Damage
Permanent hearing loss may occur if the receiver, speakerphone, headphones,
or earpieces are used at high volume. You can adapt over time to a higher
volume of sound that may sound normal but can be damaging to your
hearing. Set the volume to a safe level to protect your hearing.
Avoiding Eyestrain
Your device’s screen color and brightness might have a different degree of
stimulation to your eyesight. Long-term viewing of your phone in normal or
darker environments will damage your eyesight. When watching video or
reading text on your phone, avoid prolonged use, take breaks and turn on
eye protection mode to prevent eyestrain.
Glass Parts
The outside cover of your phone’s screen, front/rear camera and flash is made
of glass. This glass could break if your phone is dropped on a hard surface or
receives a substantial impact. Do not attempt to touch or clean the broken
glass. Stop using your phone until the glass is replaced by an authorized
service provider.
Connecting to Other Devices
Before connecting to other devices, carefully read the user manual for more
detailed, accurate and safety instructions. Do not connect to incompatible
products.
Being Aware of Laser Safety
If your phone supports laser focusing, carefully read this user manual before
using it. Failure to follow the instructions might lead to harmful radiation
exposure. To prevent direct exposure to laser beam, do not attempt to open
your phone’s outer shell, or keep close contact with laser light.
