following conditions exist:
The power cord or plug has become frayed or damaged.
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 guidelines:
1
Adapted from the CTIA-The Wireless Association® Safe Driving Tips.

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 Voice Control, favorites,
Â
recents, and 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.
Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary.
Â
Assess the trac before dialing, or place calls when you are not moving or
before pulling into trac.
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 text, email, take notes, look up phone numbers, or perform any
Â
other activities that require your attention while driving.
Composing or reading texts and emails, 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,
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.
Some iPhones contain an internal digital compass located in the upper right
corner of iPhone. The accuracy of digital compass headings may be negatively
aected by magnetic or other environmental interference, including
interference caused by the close proximity of the magnets contained in the
4
iPhone earbuds. Never rely solely on the digital compass for determining
direction. Compare the information provided on iPhone to your surroundings
and defer to posted signs to resolve any discrepancies.
Do not use location-based applications while performing activities that
require your full attention. For important information about driving safety, see
the “Driving and Riding Safely” section. 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 of iPhone 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 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
Apple authorized wireless service provider. Glass cracked due to misuse or
abuse is not covered under the warranty.
Choking Hazards 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 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,
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:

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].

iPhone’s SAR measurement may exceed the FCC exposure guidelines for
body-worn operation if positioned less than 15 mm (5/8 inch) from the
body (e.g. when carrying iPhone in your pocket). 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: 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. When using iPhone near
your body for voice calls or for wireless data transmission over a cellular
network, 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.
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.
Additional Information For more information from the FCC about exposure
to RF energy, see: www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety
The FCC and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also maintain a
consumer website at www.fda.gov/cellphones to address inquiries about the
safety of mobile phones. Please check the website periodically for updates.
For information about the scientic research related to RF energy exposure,
see the EMF Research Database maintained by the World Health Organization
at: www.who.int/emf
Radio Frequency Interference Radio-frequency emissions from electronic
equipment can negatively aect the operation of other electronic equipment
causing them to malfunction. Although iPhone is designed, tested, and
manufactured to comply with regulations governing radio frequency
emission in countries such as the United Sates, Canada, the European Union,
and Japan, the wireless transmitters and electrical circuits in iPhone may
cause interference in other electronic equipment. Therefore, please take the
following precautions:
Aircraft Use of iPhone may be prohibited while traveling in aircraft. For
more information about using Airplane Mode to turn o the iPhone wireless
transmitters, see the iPhone User Guide.

Vehicles Radio frequency emissions from iPhone may aect electronic
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative
regarding your vehicle.
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 the
pacemaker 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 Â
for interference
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn
iPhone o immediately.
Hearing Aids iPhone may interfere with 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 radio frequency emissions from iPhone.
Health Care Facilities Hospitals and health care facilities may use equipment
that is particularly sensitive to external radio frequency emissions. Turn
iPhone o when sta or posted signs instruct you to do so.
Blasting Areas and Posted Facilities To avoid interfering with blasting
operations, turn o iPhone when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted “Turn
o two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Important Handling Information
NOTICE: Failure to follow these handling instructions could result in
damage to iPhone or other property.
Carrying and Handling iPhone iPhone contains sensitive components.
Do not bend, drop, or crush iPhone. Some iPhones have an oleophobic
coating on the screen that repels oil left by your hands and face. If your
iPhone has such a coating, contact with abrasive surfaces will diminish the
eectiveness of this coating. If your iPhone’s back case has a high-gloss nish,
handle with care to maintain its appearance. If you are concerned about
scratching or abrasion, you can use one of the many cases sold separately.
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 iPhone Within Acceptable Temperatures Operate iPhone 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
iPhone to temporarily stop working properly. Avoid dramatic changes in
temperature or humidity when using iPhone as condensation may form on
or within iPhone.
Store iPhone in a place where the temperature is between -20º and 45º C
(-4º to 113º F). Don’t leave iPhone in your car, because temperatures in parked
cars can exceed this range.
When you’re using iPhone or charging the battery, it is normal for iPhone to
get warm. The exterior of iPhone functions as a cooling surface that transfers
heat from inside the unit to the cooler air outside.
Keeping the Outside of iPhone Clean To clean iPhone, unplug all cables
and turn o iPhone (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 iPhone. If
your iPhone has an oleophobic coating on the screen, simply wipe iPhone’s
screen with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oil left by your hands and face.
Please note that the ability of this coating to repel oil will diminish over time
with normal usage, and that rubbing the screen with an abrasive material will
further diminish its eect and may scratch your screen.
