Safety, Handling, and Support
Important safety information
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in re, electric shock, injury, 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 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 nd more information
about getting service at www.apple.com/support/ipad/repair/.
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 authorized service provider, and must be recycled or disposed of separately
from household waste. Don’t incinerate the battery. For information about battery services and
recycling, go to www.apple.com/batteries/service-and-recycling/.
Distraction Using iPad in some circumstances may distract you and might cause a dangerous
situation (for example, avoid using headphones while riding a bicycle and avoid texting while
driving a car). Observe rules that prohibit or restrict the use of mobile devices or headphones.
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. Some Maps features require Location Services. Compare the information provided
on iPad to your surroundings and defer to posted signs to resolve any discrepancies. Do not use
these services while performing activities that require your full attention. Always comply with
posted signs and the laws and regulations in the areas where you are using iPad and always use
common sense.
