Restore original settings and remove 
private content from your phone 
Accidents can happen – if your phone is not working 
properly, you can restore its settings. Or, if you buy 
a new phone, or otherwise want to dispose of or 
recycle your phone, here’s how you can remove 
your personal info and content. Note that it is your 
responsibility to remove all private content. 
RESET YOUR PHONE 
1.  Tap Settings > System > Reset options > 
Erase all data (factory reset). 
2.  Follow the instructions shown on your 
phone. 
Locate or lock your phone 
If you lose your phone, you may be able to find, lock, 
or erase it remotely if you have signed in to a 
Google Account. Find My Device is on by default for 
phones associated with a Google Account. 
To use Find My Device, your lost phone must be: 
  Turned on 
  Signed in to a Google Account 
  Connected to mobile data or Wi-Fi 
  Visible on Google Play 
  Location turned on 
  Find My Device turned on 
When Find My Device connects with your phone, 
you see the phone's location, and the phone gets a 
notification. 
1.  Open android.com/find on a computer, 
tablet or phone connected to the internet 
and sign in to your Google Account. 
2.  If you have more than one phone, click the 
lost phone at the top of the screen. 
3.  On the map, see about where the phone is. 
The location is approximate and may not be 
accurate. 
If your device can't be found, Find My Device will 
show its last known location, if available. To lock or 
erase your phone, follow the instructions on the web 
site. 
Battery and charger safety info 
Once charging of your device is complete, unplug 
the charger from the device and electrical outlet. 
Please note that continuous charging should not 
exceed 12 hours. If left unused, a fully charged 
battery will lose its charge over time. 
Extreme temperatures reduce the capacity and 
lifetime of the battery. Always keep the battery 
between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F) for optimal 
performance. A device with a hot or cold battery may 
not work temporarily. Note that the battery may drain 
quickly in cold temperatures and lose enough power
