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

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,
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),
1.6W/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:
