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 thirdparty accessory certied to use Apple’s “Works

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.

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.

which may present a choking hazard to small
children. Keep iPad and its accessories away from
small children.

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.
