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:
ÂThe power cord or plug has become frayed or damaged.
ÂThe adapter is exposed to rain, liquid, or excessive moisture.
ÂThe adapter case has become damaged.
ÂYou suspect the adapter needs service or repair.
ÂYou 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 muπed 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:
ÂLimit the amount of time you use the receiver, earbuds, headphones, speakerphone, or earpieces at high volume.
ÂAvoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
ÂTurn 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:1
ÂGive full attention to driving and to the road.
Using a mobile device while driving may be distracting. If you find 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.
ÂGet 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.
ÂUse a hands-free device.
Add an extra layer of convenience and safety to your iPhone with one of the many hands-free accessories available.
ÂPosition 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.

ÂAssess 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.
ÂLet 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.
ÂDo 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 flipping through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility, driving safely.
ÂDo 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.
