WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock, or other injuries, or damage to iPad or other property. Read all the safety information below before using iPad.

Handling Handle iPad with care. It is made of metal, glass, and plastic and has sensitive electronic components inside. iPad can be damaged if dropped, burned, punctured, or crushed, or if it comes in contact with liquid. Don’t use a damaged iPad, such as one with a cracked screen, as it may cause injury. If you’re concerned about scratching, consider using a case

or cover.

Repairing Don’t open iPad and don’t attempt to repair iPad by yourself. Disassembling iPad may damage it or may cause injury to you. If iPad is damaged, malfunctions, or comes in contact with liquid, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can find more information about getting service at www.apple.com/support/ipad/service/faq.

Battery Don’t attempt to replace the iPad battery yourself—you may damage the battery, which could cause overheating and injury. The lithium-ion battery in iPad should be replaced only by Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, and must be recycled or disposed of separately from household waste. Don’t incinerate the battery. For information about battery recycling and replacement, go to www.apple.com/batteries.

Distraction Using iPad in some circumstances may distract you and might cause a dangerous situation. Observe rules that prohibit or restrict the use of mobile devices or headphones (for example, avoid texting while driving a car or using headphones while riding a bicycle).

Navigation Maps, directions, Flyover, and location-based apps depend on data services.

Charging Charge iPad with the included cable and power adapter or other third-party “Made for iPad” cables and power adapters that are compatible with USB 2.0 or later. Using damaged cables or chargers, or charging when moisture is present, can cause electric shock. When you use the Apple USB Power Adapter to charge iPad, make sure that the AC plug or AC power cord is fully inserted into the adapter before you plug it into a power outlet.

Prolonged heat exposure iPad and its power adapter comply with applicable surface temperature standards and limits. However, even within these limits, sustained contact with warm surfaces for long periods of time may cause discomfort or injury. Use common sense to avoid situations where your skin is in contact with a device or its power adapter when it’s operating or plugged into a power source for long periods of time. For example, don’t sleep or place a device or power adapter under a blanket, pillow, or your body when it’s plugged into a power source. It’s important to keep iPad and its power adapter in a well-ventilated area when using or charging them. Take special care if you have a physical condition that affects your ability to detect heat against the body.
