Battery Replacement??????The rechargeable battery in iPad should be replaced only by Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. For more information
about battery replacement services, go to:?????? www.apple.com/batteries/replacements.html
Charging iPad??????To charge iPad, use only the Apple Dock Connector to USB Cable with an Apple 10W USB Power Adapter or a
2.0 standard, another
Read all safety instructions for any products and accessories before using with iPad. Apple is not responsible for the operation of
When you use the Apple 10W USB Power Adapter to charge iPad, make sure that the power adapter is fully assembled before you plug it into a power outlet. Then insert the Apple 10W USB Power Adapter firmly into the power outlet. Do not connect or disconnect the Apple 10W USB Power Adapter with wet hands.
The Apple 10W USB Power Adapter may become warm during normal use. Always allow adequate ventilation around the Apple 10W USB Power Adapter and use care when handling. Unplug the Apple 10W 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.
????
Avoiding Hearing Damage??????Permanent hearing loss may occur if the receiver, earbuds, headphones, or earpiece are used at high volume. Use only compatible receivers, earbuds, headphones, or earpieces with your device. Turn on the audio and check the volume before inserting anything in your ear. 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 muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:
???? Limit the amount of time you use the receiver, earbuds, headphones, 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 find it disruptive or distracting while operating any type of vehicle, riding a bicycle, or performing any activity that requires your full attention, pull off 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
or flipping 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
Maps, digital compass, directions, and
in maps, digital compass headings, directions, or
iPad contains an internal digital compass located in the upper right corner of iPad. The accuracy of digital compass headings may be negatively affected 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 inflates 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 flashing 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
Glass Parts??????The outside cover of the iPad screen 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. Stop using iPad until the glass is replaced by Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider.
Choking Hazards??????iPad contains small parts, which may present a choking hazard to small children. Keep iPad and its accessories away from small children.
Repetitive Motion??????When you perform repetitive 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.
Holding iPad??????You can hold and use iPad in many different ways. It???s important to find a comfortable posture when using iPad, and to take frequent breaks. Use your lap, or a table, case, or dock accessory, to support iPad during use.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres??????Turn off iPad (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 iPad and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire, 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 liquefied 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 off 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.
Keeping iPad Within Acceptable Temperatures??????Operate iPad in a place where the temperature is between 0?? and 35?? C (32?? to
95?? F). Low- or
Store iPad in a place where the temperature is between
When you???re using iPad or charging the battery, it is normal for iPad to get warm. The exterior of iPad functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the unit to the cooler air outside.
Keeping the Outside of iPad Clean??????Handle your iPad with care to maintain its appearance. If you are concerned about scratching or abrasion, you can use one of the many cases sold separately. To clean iPad, unplug all cables and turn off iPad (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, and then slide the onscreen slider). Then use a soft, slightly damp,
cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don???t use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean iPad. iPad has an oleophobic coating on the screen; simply wipe iPad???s screen with a soft,
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 effect and may scratch your screen.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy??????iPad contains radio transmitters and receivers. When on, iPad sends and receives radio frequency (RF) energy through its antenna. The
A cellular antenna is located at the top edge of iPad
iPad 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, Industry Canada (IC) of Canada, and regulating entities of Japan, the European Union, and other countries. The exposure standard employs a unit of measurement known as the specific absorption rate, or SAR. The SAR limit applicable to iPad 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 specified by these agencies, with iPad transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at the highest certified power level in each frequency band, the actual SAR level of iPad while in operation can be well below the maximum value because iPad adjusts its cellular transmitting power based
in part on orientation and proximity to the wireless network. In general, the closer you are to a cellular base station, the lower the cellular transmitting power level.
iPad has been tested,1 and meets the FCC, IC, and European Union RF exposure guidelines for cellular operation. When tested at direct body contact, iPad???s maximum SAR value for each frequency band is outlined below:
FCC & IC SAR
1The device was tested by Compliance Certification Services, Fremont, CA according to measurement standards and procedures specified in FCC OET Bulletin 65, Supplement C (Edition
EU SAR
You can further limit your exposure by limiting the amount of time using iPad in wireless mode, since time is a factor in how much exposure a person receives, and by placing more distance between your body and iPad since exposure level drops off dramatically with distance.
Additional Information??????For more information from the FCC about exposure to RF energy, see www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety
