replaced only by Apple. For more information about battery replacement
service, go to: www.apple.com/support/iPad/service/battery
Charging iPad To charge iPad, use only the Apple Dock Connector to
USB Cable with an Apple 10W USB Power Adapter or a high-power USB
port on another device that is compliant with the USB 2.0 standard,
another Apple-branded product or accessory designed to work with
iPad, or a third-party accessory certied to use Apple’s “Works with
iPad” logo.
Read all safety instructions for any products and accessories before
using with iPad. Apple is not responsible for the operation of third-party
accessories or their compliance with safety and regulatory standards.
When you use the Apple 10W USB Power Adapter to charge iPad make
sure that the power adapter is fully assembled before you plug it into
a power outlet. Then insert the Apple 10W USB Power Adapter rmly
into the power outlet. Do not connect or disconnect the Apple 10W USB
Power Adapter with wet hands.
The Apple 10W USB Power Adapter may become warm during normal
use. Always allow adequate ventilation around the Apple 10W USB
Power Adapter and use care when handling. Unplug the Apple 10W USB
Power Adapter if any of the following conditions exist:
 The power cord or plug has become frayed or damaged.
 The adapter is exposed to rain, liquid, or excessive moisture.
 The adapter case has become damaged.
 You suspect the adapter needs service or repair.
 You want to clean the adapter.
Avoiding Hearing Damage Permanent hearing loss may occur if
headphones are used at high volume. Set the volume to a safe level.
You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may sound
normal but can be damaging to your hearing. If you experience ringing
in your ears or mued speech, stop listening and have your hearing
checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your
hearing could be aected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect
your hearing:
 Limit the amount of time you use earbuds, headphones, speakers,
or earpieces at high volume.
 Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
 Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
For information about how to set a maximum volume limit on iPad,
see the iPad User Guide.
Driving and Riding Safely Use of iPad alone or with headphones
(even if used only in one ear) while driving a vehicle or riding a bicycle
is not recommended and is illegal in some areas. Check and obey the
laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices like iPad in the areas
where you drive or ride. Be careful and attentive while driving or riding
a bicycle. If you decide to use iPad while driving, keep in mind the
following guidelines:
 Give full attention to driving or riding and to the road.
Using a mobile device while driving or riding may be distracting.
If you nd it disruptive or distracting while operating any type of
vehicle, riding a bicycle, or performing any activity that requires your
full attention, pull o the road and park if driving conditions require.
 Do not email, take notes, look up phone numbers, or perform
any other activities that require your attention while driving.
Composing or reading emails, jotting down a to-do list, or ipping
through your address book takes attention away from your primary
responsibility, driving safely.
Navigating Safely If your iPad has applications that provide maps,
digital compass headings, directions or location-based navigation
assistance, these applications should only be used for basic navigation
assistance and should not be relied on to determine precise locations,
proximity, distance, or direction.
Maps, digital compass, directions, and location-based applications
provided by Apple depend on data collected and services provided by
third parties. These data services are subject to change and may not
be available in all geographic areas, resulting in maps, digital compass
headings, directions, or location-based information that may be
unavailable, inaccurate, or incomplete.
iPad contains an internal digital compass located in the upper right
corner of iPad. The accuracy of digital compass headings may be
negatively aected by magnetic or other environmental interference.
Never rely solely on the digital compass for determining direction.
Compare the information provided on iPad to your surroundings and
defer to posted signs to resolve any discrepancies.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag An air bag inates with great
force. Do not store iPad or any of its accessories in the area over the air
bag or in the air bag deployment area.
Seizures, Blackouts, and Eyestrain A small percentage of people may
be susceptible to blackouts or seizures (even if they have never had one
before) when exposed to ashing lights or light patterns such as when
playing games or watching video. If you have experienced seizures
or blackouts or have a family history of such occurrences, you should
consult a physician before playing games or watching videos on your
iPad. Discontinue use of iPad and consult a physician if you experience
headaches, blackouts, seizures, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss
of awareness, involuntary movement, or disorientation. To reduce risk
of headaches, blackouts, seizures, and eyestrain, avoid prolonged use,
hold iPad some distance from your eyes, use iPad in a well-lit room, and
take frequent breaks.
Glass Parts The outside cover of the iPad screen is made of glass. This
glass could break if iPad is dropped on a hard surface or receives a
substantial impact. If the glass chips or cracks, do not touch or attempt
to remove the broken glass and stop using iPad. Glass cracked due to
misuse or abuse is not covered under the warranty.

Choking Hazards iPad contains small parts, which may present a
choking hazard to small children. Keep iPad and its accessories away
from small children.
Repetitive Motion When you perform repetitive activities such as
typing or playing games on iPad, you may experience occasional
discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your
body. Take frequent breaks and if you have discomfort during or after
such use, stop use and see a physician.
Holding iPad You can hold and use iPad in many dierent ways.
To avoid discomfort during extended use, see the ergonomic
recommendations in the iPad User Guide.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Turn o iPad (press and hold the
Sleep/Wake button, and then slide the onscreen slider) when in any area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Do not charge iPad and obey
all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion
or re, resulting in serious injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always,
marked clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling areas (such as gas
stations); below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities; vehicles using liqueed petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as
grain, dust, or metal powders); and any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn o your vehicle engine.
Using Connectors and Ports Never force a connector into a port.
Check for obstructions on the port. If the connector and port don’t
join with reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Make sure that
the connector matches the port and that you have positioned the
connector correctly in relation to the port.
Keeping iPad Within Acceptable Temperatures Operate iPad in a
place where the temperature is between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F).
Low- or high-temperature conditions might temporarily shorten battery
life or cause iPad to temporarily stop working properly. Avoid dramatic
changes in temperature or humidity when using iPad, as condensation
may form on or within iPad.
Store iPad in a place where the temperature is between -20º and 45º
C (-4º to 113º F). Don’t leave iPad in your car, because temperatures in
parked cars can exceed this range.
When you’re using iPad or charging the battery, it is normal for iPad
to get warm. The exterior of iPad functions as a cooling surface that
transfers heat from inside the unit to the cooler air outside.
Keeping the Outside of iPad Clean Handle your iPad with care to
maintain its appearance. If you are concerned about scratching or
abrasion, you can use one of the many cases sold separately. To clean
iPad, unplug all cables and turn o iPad (press and hold the Sleep/Wake
button, and then slide the onscreen slider). Then use a soft, slightly
damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don’t use
window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol,
ammonia, or abrasives to clean iPad. iPad has an oleophobic coating
on the screen; simply wipe iPad’s screen with a soft, lint-free cloth to
remove oil left by your hands. The ability of this coating to repel oil will
diminish over time with normal usage, and rubbing the screen with
an abrasive material will further diminish its eect and may scratch
your screen.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy iPad contains radio transmitters
and receivers. When on, iPad sends and receives radio frequency (RF)
energy through its antenna. The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® antennas are
located behind the screen to the left of the Home button, and behind
the Apple logo. iPad has been tested and meets the SAR exposure
requirements for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth operation.
A cellular antenna is located at the top edge of the iPad Wi-Fi + 3G,
when oriented with the Home button at the bottom. For optimal
mobile device performance and to be sure that human exposure to RF
energy does not exceed the FCC, IC, and European Union guidelines,
always follow these instructions and precautions: Orient the device in
portrait mode with the Home button at the bottom of the display, or
in landscape mode with the cellular antenna (located under the black
edge at the top of the device) away from your body or other objects.
iPad Wi-Fi + 3G is designed and manufactured to comply with the
limits for exposure to RF energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the United States, Industry Canada (IC) of Canada,
and regulating entities of Japan, the European Union, and other
countries. The exposure standard employs a unit of measurement
known as the specic absorption rate, or SAR. The SAR limit applicable
to iPad Wi-Fi + 3G set by the FCC is 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg), 1.6
W/kg by Industry Canada, and 2.0 W/kg by the Council of the European
Union. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
specied by these agencies, with iPad Wi-Fi + 3G transmitting at its
highest certied power level in all tested frequency bands. Although
SAR is determined at the highest certied power level in each frequency
band, the actual SAR level of iPad Wi-Fi + 3G while in operation can
be well below the maximum value because iPad Wi-Fi + 3G adjusts its
cellular transmitting power based in part on proximity to the wireless
network and orientation. In general, the closer you are to a cellular base
station, the lower the cellular transmitting power level.
iPad Wi-Fi + 3G has been tested,
Union RF exposure guidelines for cellular operation. When tested at
direct body contact, iPad Wi-Fi + 3G’s maximum SAR value for each
frequency band is outlined below:

If you are still concerned about exposure to RF energy, you can
further limit your exposure by limiting the amount of time using
iPad Wi-Fi + 3G in wireless mode, since time is a factor in how much
exposure a person receives, and by placing more distance between your
body and iPad Wi-Fi + 3G, since exposure level drops o dramatically
with distance.
