Repairing iPhone

Never attempt to repair or modify iPhone yourself. iPhone does not contain any user-serviceable parts, except for the SIM card and SIM tray. If iPhone has been submerged in water, punctured, or subjected to a severe fall, do not use it until you take it to an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Charging iPhone

To charge iPhone, only use the Apple Dock Connector to USB Cable with an Apple USB Power Adapter or a high-power USB port on another device that is compliant with the USB 2.0 or 1.1 standards, another Apple-branded product or accessory designed to work with iPhone, or a third-party accessory certiﬁ ed to use Apple’s “Works with iPhone” logo.

Read all safety instructions for any products and accessories before using with iPhone. Apple is not responsible for the operation of third-party accessories or their compliance with safety and regulatory standards.

When you use the Apple USB Power Adapter to charge iPhone, make sure that the power adapter is fully assembled before you plug it into a power outlet. Then insert the Apple USB Power Adapter ﬁ rmly into the power outlet. Do not connect or disconnect the Apple USB Power Adapter with wet hands. Do not use any power adapter other than the Apple USB Power Adapter to charge iPhone.

The Apple USB Power Adapter may become warm during normal use. Always allow adequate ventilation around the Apple USB Power Adapter and use care when handling. Unplug the Apple 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 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 muπ ed speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be a∂ ected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:

Limit the amount of time you use the receiver, earbuds,

headphones, speakerphone, 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 iPhone, see the iPhone User’s Guide.

Driving Safely

Use of iPhone and 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. Be careful and attentive while driving. If you decide to use iPhone while driving or riding a bicycle, keep in mind the following guidelines:

Â Give full attention to driving and to the road.

Using a mobile device while driving may be distracting. If you ﬁ 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 speakerphone. These features help you to place your call without taking your attention o∂ the road. See the iPhone User’s Guide for more information.

Use a hands-free device.

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.

Keep your eyes on the road. If you get an incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voicemail answer it for you.

Adapted from the CTIA-The Wireless Association® Safe Driving Tips.

Â Assess the tra∑ c before dialing, or place calls when

you are not moving or before pulling into tra∑ c.

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. If necessary, suspend the call in heavy tra∑ c or hazardous weather conditions. Driving in rain, sleet, snow, ice, fog, and even heavy tra∑ c can be hazardous.

Do not take notes, look up phone numbers, or

perform any other activities that require your attention while driving.

Jotting down a to-do list or ﬂ ipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility, driving safely.

Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations

that 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.

Avoiding Eyestrain

When watching video or reading text on iPhone, avoid prolonged use and take breaks to prevent eyestrain.

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 Apple Authorized Service Provider. Glass cracked due to misuse or abuse is not covered under the warranty.
