Safety, Handling, & Support
Important safety information
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.
Repairing Don’t open iPad and don’t attempt to repair iPad by yourself. Disassembling iPad may
cause injury to you or damage to iPad. 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 can distract you and may 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.
These data services are subject to change and may not be available in all areas, resulting in
maps, directions, Flyover, or location-based information that may be unavailable, inaccurate,
or incomplete. Compare the information provided on iPad to your surroundings, and defer to
posted signs to resolve any discrepancies. Some Maps features require Location Services. See
Privacy on page 119. Use common sense when navigating.
Charging Charge iPad with the included USB cable and power adapter or other third-party
“Made for iPad” cables and power adapters that are compatible with USB 2.0. 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. Power adapters
may become warm during normal use, and prolonged contact may cause injury. Always allow
adequate ventilation around power adapters when using them.
