Important Safety and Handling Information
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in re,
electric shock, or other injury or damage to iPhone or other property.
Carrying and Handling iPhone iPhone contains sensitive components.
Do not drop, disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred,
microwave, incinerate, paint, or insert foreign objects into iPhone. Do not
use iPhone if it has been damaged—for example, if iPhone is cracked,
punctured, or damaged by water.
The front and back covers of iPhone are made of glass. This glass could
break if iPhone is dropped on a hard surface or receives a substantial
impact or is crushed, bent, or deformed. 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 Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider.
Glass cracked due to misuse or abuse is not covered under the warranty.
If you are concerned about scratching or abrasion, you can use one of
the many cases sold separately.
Keeping the Outside of iPhone Clean Clean iPhone immediately if it
comes into contact with any contaminants that may cause stains, such as
ink, dyes, makeup, dirt, food, oils, and lotions. 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. The front and back glass surfaces have an oleophobic
coating. To remove ngerprints, simply wipe these surfaces with a soft,
lint-free cloth. The ability of this coating to repel oil will diminish over time
with normal usage, and rubbing the screen with an abrasive material will
further diminish its eect and may scratch the glass.
Avoiding Water and Wet Locations Do not use iPhone in rain, or
near washbasins or other wet locations. Take care not to spill any food
or liquid on iPhone. In case iPhone gets wet, unplug all cables, turn
o iPhone (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, and then slide the
onscreen slider) before cleaning, and allow it to dry thoroughly before
turning it on again. Do not attempt to dry iPhone with an external
heat source, such as a microwave oven or hair dryer. Damage to iPhone
caused by contact with liquid is not covered under the warranty.
Repairing or Modifying iPhone Never attempt to repair or modify
iPhone yourself. iPhone does not contain any user-serviceable parts.
Disassembling iPhone, including the removal of external screws and
back cover, may cause damage that is not covered under the warranty.
Service should only be provided by Apple or an Apple Authorized Service
Provider. If you have questions, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized
Service Provider. For service information, go to:
www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq
Battery Replacement Do not attempt to replace the rechargeable
battery in iPhone yourself. The battery may only be replaced by
Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. For more information
about battery replacement service, go to:
www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/battery
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 standard,
another Apple-branded product or accessory designed to work with
iPhone, or a third-party accessory certied to use the Apple “Works with
iPhone” or “Made for iPhone” logo.
Read all safety instructions for any products and accessories before using
with iPhone. Apple is not responsible for the operation of, or any damage
caused by, 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 rmly into
the power outlet. Do not connect or disconnect the Apple USB Power
Adapter with wet hands.
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 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,
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 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 or under all
operating conditions. Emergency numbers and services vary by region,
and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed due to network
unavailability or environmental interference.
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:
 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 before making or answering a call.
 Get to know iPhone and its features such as Voice Control, Favorites,
Recents, and Speaker.
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.
Take advantage of one of the many compatible hands-free accessories
available for use with iPhone. Use of a hands-free device may be
required in some areas.
 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.
 Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary.
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.
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 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
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 Do not rely on iPhone applications that provide
maps, digital compass headings, orientation information, directions,
or location-based navigation to determine precise locations, proximity,
orientation, distance, or direction. These applications should only be used
for basic navigation assistance.
Maps, directions, and location-based applications depend on data
services. 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.
iPhone contains 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 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.
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.
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.
Small Children iPhone and its accessories may contain small parts. Keep
them 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.
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.
Accessories and Wireless Performance Not all iPod accessories are
fully compatible with iPhone. Turning on Airplane Mode on iPhone may
eliminate audio interference between iPhone and an accessory. While
Airplane mode is on, you cannot make or receive calls or use features that
require wireless communication. Under some conditions, certain accessories
may aect iPhone wireless performance. Reorienting or relocating iPhone
and the connected accessory may improve wireless performance.
Keeping iPhone Within Acceptable Temperatures iPhone is designed
to be operated in temperatures between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F) and
stored in temperatures between -20º and 45º C (-4º to 113º F). Low- or
high-temperature conditions might temporarily shorten battery life or
cause iPhone to temporarily stop working properly. Leaving iPhone in
a parked vehicle or in direct sunlight can cause iPhone to exceed these
storage or operating temperature ranges. Avoid dramatic changes in
temperature or humidity when using iPhone as condensation may form
on or within iPhone.
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.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy iPhone contains radio
transmitters and receivers. When on, iPhone receives and sends out radio
frequency (RF) energy through its antennas. The iPhone cellular antenna
is located at the bottom edge of iPhone. The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth®
antenna is located at the top edge of iPhone.
For optimal mobile device performance and to be sure that human
exposure to RF energy does not exceed the FCC 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.
iPhone is designed and manufactured to comply with the limits for
exposure to RF energy set by the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) of the United States. 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).
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions (i.e., at
the ear and worn on the body) specied by this agency, 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 meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for maximum SAR value
on each supported frequency band for cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth
operation, as outlined below:
Frequency Band
800 MHz.
Band Class 0
1900 MHz.
Band Class 1
2.4 GHz. Wi-Fi 0.15 0.54 1.6
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).
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 using
a hands-free device and 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/Radiation-EmittingProducts/
RadiationEmittingProductsandProcedures/HomeBusinessandEntertainment/
CellPhones/default.htm to address inquiries about the safety of mobile
phones. Please check the website periodically for updates.

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
 Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential
for interference
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn
iPhone o immediately. (Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the
red slider appears, then drag the slider.)
Hearing Aids iPhone may interfere with some hearing aids. If it does,
consult the hearing aid manufacturer or your physician for alternatives or
remedies. iPhone hearing aid compatibility ratings are available at:
www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
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.
