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. To avoid discomfort during extended use, see the ergonomic recommendations in the iPad User Guide.
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 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F). Low- or

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,
