Charging iPhone
Avoiding Hearing Damage
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 standards, another Apple-branded
product or accessory designed to work with iPhone, or a
third-party accessory certified to use Apple’s“Works with
iPhone”logo.
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:
Read all safety instructions for any products and
accessories before using with iPhone. Apple is not
responsible for the operation of third-party accessories or
their compliance with safety and regulatory standards.
Limit the amount of time you use the receiver, earbuds,
headphones, speakerphone, or earpieces at high
volume.
Â
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 firmly into the power
outlet. Do not connect or disconnect the Apple USB Power
Adapter with wet hands. Do not use any power adapter
other than the Apple USB Power Adapter to charge
iPhone.
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’s Guide.

Driving Safely
Assess 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.
Â
Â
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
Let 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.
Give full attention to driving and to the road.
Â
Do 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.
Â
Â
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.
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.
Get to know iPhone and its features such as favorites,
recents, and speakerphone.
Â
These features help you to place your call without
taking your attention o∂ the road. See the iPhone User’s
Guide for more information.
Avoiding Eyestrain
When watching video or reading text on iPhone, avoid
prolonged use and take breaks to prevent eyestrain.
Use a hands-free device.
Â
Add an extra layer of convenience and safety to your

Choking Hazards
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
iPhone contains small parts, which may present a choking
hazard to small children. Keep iPhone and its accessories
away from small children.
iPhone contains radio transmitters and receivers. When
on, iPhone receives and sends out radio frequency (RF)
energy through its antenna. The iPhone antenna is located
on the back of iPhone near the dock connector. 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. The exposure
standard employs a unit of measurement known as the
specific 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) specified
by the FCC with iPhone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. Although SAR
is determined at the highest certified power level, 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.
Repetitive Motion
When you perform repetitive activities such as typing on
iPhone, you may experience occasional discomfort in your
hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. If
you continue to 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 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
o∂ your vehicle engine.
iPhone has been tested,2 and meets the FCC RF exposure
guidelines for cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth® operation.
When tested for use at the ear, iPhone’s highest SAR value
is 0.974 W/kg. When tested for body-worn operation,
with iPhone positioned 5/8 inch (15 mm) from the body,
iPhone’s highest SAR value is 0.694 W/kg. For body-worn
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates 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.
2 The device was tested by an accredited laboratory according
to measurement standards and procedures specified in FCC
OET Bulletin 65, Supplement C (Edition 01-01) and IEEE P1528.1,
April 21 2003.

operation, iPhone’s SAR measurement may exceed the
FCC exposure guidelines if positioned less than 5/8
inch (15 mm) from the body. 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
30-pin connector pointed down toward your shoulder
to increase separation from the antenna. For body-worn
operation, keep iPhone at least 5/8 inch (15 mm) away
from the body, and only use carrying cases, belt clips, or
holders that do not have metal parts and that maintain at
least 5/8 inch (15 mm) separation between iPhone and the
body. When using the EDGE data transmission feature of
iPhone (see the iPhone User’s Guide for more information),
position iPhone’s antenna at least 5/8 inch (15 mm) from
the body.
For information about the scientific research related to
RF energy exposure, see the EMF Research Database
maintained by the World Health Organization at:
Radio Frequency Interference
Nearly every electronic device is subject to radio
frequency interference from external sources if
inadequately shielded or designed, or otherwise not
configured to be compatible. As a result, iPhone may
cause interference with other devices. Follow these
instructions to avoid interference problems.
Aircraft Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations
may prohibit using wireless devices while in the air. For
more information about using Airplane Mode to turn o∂
the iPhone wireless transmitters, see the iPhone User’s
Guide.
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.
Vehicles RF signals may a∂ect installed or inadequately
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with
the manufacturer or its representative regarding your
vehicle.
Electronic Devices Most modern electronic equipment
is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from iPhone.
Additional Information
For more information from the FCC about exposure to RF
Pacemakers The Health Industry Manufacturers
Association recommends that a minimum separation
of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. Persons with
pacemakers:
The FCC and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
also maintain a consumer website at
the safety of mobile phones. Please check the website
periodically for updates.

Emergency Calls You should not rely on wireless
devices for essential communications, such as medical
emergencies. Use of iPhone to call emergency services,
for example by dialing 911, 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.
Should always keep iPhone more than six inches from
their pacemaker when the phone is turned on
Â
Should not carry iPhone in a breast pocket
Â
Â
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.
Hearing Aids iPhone may interfere with some hearing
aids. If it does, consult the hearing aid manufacturer or
your physician for alternatives or remedies.
Important Handling Information
