Â
The adapter is exposed to rain, liquid, or excessive moisture.
Â
The adapter case has become damaged.
Â
You suspect the adapter needs service or repair.
Â
You want to clean the adapter.
Â
Avoiding Hearing Damage
Permanent hearing loss may occur if the receiver, earbuds, headphones,
speakerphone, or earpieces 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 the receiver, earbuds, headphones,
Â
speakerphone, or earpieces at high volume.
Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
Â
Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
Â
For information about how to set a maximum volume limit on iPhone, see the
iPhone User Guide.
Emergency Calls
You should not rely on wireless devices for essential communications, such as
medical emergencies. Use of iPhone to call emergency services may not work in
all locations. Emergency numbers and services vary by region, and sometimes an
emergency call cannot be placed due to network availability or environmental
interference. Some cellular networks may not accept an emergency call from
iPhone if it does not have a SIM, the SIM is PIN-locked, or if you have not activated
your iPhone.

Driving and Riding Safely
Use of iPhone 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 iPhone in
the areas where you drive or ride. Be careful and attentive while driving or riding
a bicycle. If you decide to use iPhone while driving, keep in mind the following
1
guidelines:
Give full attention to driving or riding and to the road.
Â
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 before making or answering a call if driving conditions require.
Get to know iPhone and its features such as favorites, recents, and
Â
speakerphone.
These features help you to place your call without taking your attention o the
road. See the iPhone User Guide for more information.
Use a hands-free device.
Â
Add an extra layer of convenience and safety to your iPhone with one of the
many hands-free accessories available.
Position iPhone within easy reach.
Â
Keep your eyes on the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time,
let your voicemail answer it for you.
Assess the trac before dialing, or place calls when you are
Â
not moving or before pulling into trac.
Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary. Never dial or enter other text
while you are driving.
Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving.
Â
If necessary, suspend the call in heavy trac or hazardous weather conditions.
Driving in rain, sleet, snow, ice, fog, and even heavy trac can be hazardous.
Do not take notes, look up phone numbers, or perform any
Â
other activities that require your attention while driving.
Jotting down a to-do list or ipping through your address book takes attention
away from your primary responsibility, driving safely.
Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that
Â
may be distracting.
Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend
conversations that have the potential to divert your attention from the road.
Navigating Safely
If your iPhone has applications that provide maps, directions and 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.

subject to change and may not be available in all geographic areas, resulting in
maps, directions or location-based information that may be unavailable, inaccurate,
or incomplete. See www.apple.com/iphone for more information. Compare the
information provided on iPhone to your surroundings and defer to posted signs to
resolve any discrepancies.
Do not use maps, directions, or location-based applications while performing
activities that require your full attention. For important information about driving
safety, see page 4. Always comply with posted signs and the laws and regulations in
the areas where you are using iPhone.
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 (if available) or watching videos on your iPhone.
Discontinue use and consult a physician if you experience convulsion, eye or muscle
twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movement, or disorientation. To reduce risk
of blackout, seizures, and eyestrain, avoid prolonged use, hold iPhone some distance
from your eyes, use iPhone in a well lit room, and take frequent breaks.
Glass Parts
The outside cover of the iPhone screen is made of glass. This glass could break if
iPhone 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. Stop using
iPhone until the glass is replaced by an authorized service provider. Glass cracked
due to misuse or abuse is not covered under the warranty.
Choking Hazards
iPhone is not a toy and is not intended for children’s use. iPhone contains small
parts, which may present a choking hazard to small children. Keep iPhone and its
accessories away from small children.
Repetitive Motion
When you perform repetitive activities such as typing or playing games on iPhone,
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.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn o iPhone (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
iPhone, 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
6
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.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inates with great force. Do not store iPhone or any of its accessories in
the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
iPhone contains radio transmitters and receivers. When on, iPhone receives and
sends out radio frequency (RF) energy through its antenna. The iPhone cellular
antenna is located on the back of iPhone near the dock connector. The Wi-Fi and
Bluetooth® antenna is located near the back top edge of the iPhone. iPhone is
designed and manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to RF energy set
by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States, Industry
Canada (IC), and the recommendations of the Council of the European Union.
The exposure standard employs a unit of measurement known as the specic
absorption rate, or SAR. The SAR limit applicable to iPhone 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 (i.e., at the ear and worn on the body) specied by these
agencies, with iPhone 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 iPhone while in operation can be well
below the maximum value because iPhone adjusts its cellular transmitting power
based in part on proximity to the wireless network. In general, the closer you are to
a cellular base station, the lower the cellular transmitting power level.
iPhone has been tested,2 and meets the FCC, IC, and European Union RF exposure
guidelines for cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth operation. When tested for use at the ear
and for body-worn operation (with iPhone positioned 15 mm (5/8 inch) from the
body), iPhone’s maximum SAR value for each frequency band is outlined below:
Frequency Band Body Ear FCC & IC 1g SAR
GSM 850 1.030 0.521 1.6
GSM 1900 0.522 1.290 1.6
UMTS II 1900 0.402 1.388 1.6
UMTS V 850 0.733 0.516 1.6
Wi-Fi 0.088 0.779 1.6

The device was tested by Compliance Certication Services, Fremont, CA according to
measurement standards and procedures specied in FCC OET Bulletin 65, Supplement
C (Edition 01-01) and IEEE P1528.1, April 21 2003 and Canada RSS 102. iPhone adheres
to the European Council Recommendation of 12 July 1999 on the Limitation of
Exposure of the General Public to Electromagnetic Fields [1999/519/EC].

UMTS I 2100 0.231 0.878 2.0
Wi-Fi 0.051 0.371 2.0
For body-worn operation, iPhone’s SAR measurement may exceed the FCC exposure
guidelines if positioned less than 15 mm (5/8 inch) from the body. For optimal
mobile device performance and to be sure that human exposure to RF energy
does not exceed the FCC and European Union guidelines, always follow these
instructions and precautions: When on a call using the built-in audio receiver in
iPhone, hold iPhone with the dock connector pointed down toward your shoulder
to increase separation from the antenna. For body-worn operation, keep iPhone
at least 15 mm (5/8 inch) away from the body, and only use carrying cases, belt
clips, or holders that do not have metal parts and that maintain at least 15 mm
(5/8 inch) separation between iPhone and the body. When using the EDGE, GPRS,
or HSDPA data transmission features of iPhone (see the iPhone User Guide for more
information), position iPhone’s antenna at least 15 mm (5/8 inch) from the body.
If you are still concerned about exposure to RF energy, you can further limit your
exposure by limiting the amount of time using iPhone, since time is a factor in how
much exposure a person receives, and by placing more distance between your
body and iPhone, since exposure level drops o dramatically with distance.

Vehicles RF signals may aect installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems
in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding
your vehicle.
Electronic Devices Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from iPhone.
Pacemakers The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that
a minimum separation of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. Persons with pacemakers:
Should always keep iPhone more than 15 cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker
Â
when the phone is turned on
Should not carry iPhone in a breast pocket
Â
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
Â
interference
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn iPhone o
immediately.
Hearing Aids iPhone may interfere with some hearing aids. If it does, consult the
hearing aid manufacturer or your physician for alternatives or remedies.
Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
device manufacturer or your physician to determine if it is adequately shielded from
external RF energy.
