Safety, handling, and support
Important safety information
WARNING:  Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock, 
injury, or damage to iPhone or other property. Read all the safety information below before 
using iPhone.
Handling  Handle iPhone with care. It is made of metal, glass, and plastic and has sensitive 
electronic components inside. iPhone can be damaged if dropped, burned, punctured, or 
crushed, or if it comes in contact with liquid. Don’t use a damaged iPhone, such as one with a 
cracked screen, as it may cause injury. If you’re concerned about scratching the surface of iPhone, 
consider using a case or cover.
Repairing  Don’t open iPhone and don’t attempt to repair iPhone yourself. Disassembling iPhone 
may damage it or may cause injury to you. If iPhone 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/iphone/service/faq/.
Battery  Don’t attempt to replace the iPhone battery yourself—you may damage the battery, 
which could cause overheating and injury. The lithium-ion battery in iPhone 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 service and 
recycling, see www.apple.com/batteries/service-and-recycling/.
Distraction  Using iPhone in some circumstances can distract you and may 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 phones 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 iPhone 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 iPhone and 
always use common sense.
Appendix 
						

							 Appendix E    Safety, handling, and support 18 4
Charging  Charge iPhone with the included USB cable and power adapter, or with other third-
party “Made for iPhone” cables and power adapters that are compatible with USB 2.0 or later, 
or power adapters compliant with applicable country regulations and with one or more of the 
following standards: EN 301489-34, IEC 62684, YD/T 1591-2009, CNS 15285, ITU L.1000, or another 
applicable mobile phone power adapter interoperability standard. An iPhone Micro USB Adapter 
(available separately in some areas) or other adapter may be needed to connect iPhone to some 
compatible power adapters. Only micro USB power adapters in certain regions that comply 
with applicable mobile device power adapter interoperability standards are compatible. Please 
contact the power adapter manufacturer to find out if your micro USB power adapter complies 
with these standards.
Using damaged cables or chargers, or charging when moisture is present, can cause fire, electric 
shock, injury, or damage to iPhone or other property. When you use the Apple USB Power 
Adapter to charge iPhone, make sure the USB cable is fully inserted into the power adapter 
before you plug the adapter into a power outlet.
Lightning cable and connector  Avoid prolonged skin contact with the connector when the 
Lightning to USB Cable is plugged into a power source because it may cause discomfort or 
injury. Sleeping or sitting on the Lightning connector should be avoided.
Prolonged heat exposure  iPhone 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 on a 
device or power adapter, or place them under a blanket, pillow, or your body, when it’s plugged 
into a power source. It’s important to keep iPhone and its power adapter in a well-ventilated 
area when in use or charging. Take special care if you have a physical condition that affects your 
ability to detect heat against the body.
Hearing loss  Listening to sound at high volumes may damage your hearing. Background noise, 
as well as continued exposure to high volume levels, can make sounds seem quieter than they 
actually are. Turn on audio playback and check the volume before inserting anything in your ear. 
For more information about hearing loss, see www.apple.com/sound/. For information about 
how to set a maximum volume limit on iPhone, see Music settings
 on page 76.
To avoid hearing damage, use only compatible receivers, earbuds, headphones, speakerphones, 
or earpieces with iPhone. The headsets sold with iPhone 4s or later in China (identifiable by 
dark insulating rings on the plug) are designed to comply with Chinese standards and are only 
compatible with iPhone 4s or later, iPad 2 or later, and iPod touch 5th generation.
WARNING:  To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for 
long periods.
Radio frequency exposure iPhone uses radio signals to connect to wireless networks. For 
information about radio frequency (RF) energy resulting from radio signals and steps you can 
take to minimize exposure, go to Settings > General > About > Legal > RF Exposure or visit 
www.apple.com/legal/rfexposure/. 
						

							 Appendix E    Safety, handling, and support 18 5
Radio frequency interference  Observe signs and notices that prohibit or restrict the use 
of mobile phones (for example, in healthcare facilities or blasting areas). Although iPhone is 
designed, tested, and manufactured to comply with regulations governing radio frequency 
emissions, such emissions from iPhone can negatively affect the operation of other electronic 
equipment, causing them to malfunction. Turn off iPhone or use Airplane Mode to turn off the 
iPhone wireless transmitters when use is prohibited, such as while traveling in aircraft, or when 
asked to do so by authorities.
Medical device interference iPhone contains components and radios that emit electromagnetic 
fields. iPhone also contains magnets and the included headphones also have magnets in the 
earbuds. These electromagnetic fields and magnets may interfere with pacemakers, defibrillators, 
or other medical devices. Maintain a safe distance of separation between your medical device 
and iPhone and the earbuds. Consult your physician and medical device manufacturer for 
information specific to your medical device. If you suspect iPhone is interfering with your 
pacemaker, defibrillator, or any other medical device, stop using iPhone.
Not a medical device iPhone and the Health app are not designed or intended for use in the 
diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention 
of disease.
Medical conditions  If you have any medical condition that you believe could be affected by 
iPhone (for example, seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with your physician 
prior to using iPhone. 
Explosive atmospheres  Charging or using iPhone in any area with a potentially explosive 
atmosphere, such as areas where the air contains high levels of flammable chemicals, 
vapors, or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders), may be hazardous. Obey all signs 
and instructions.
Repetitive motion  When you perform repetitive activities such as typing or playing games on 
iPhone, you may experience discomfort in your hands, arms, wrists, shoulders, neck, or other 
parts of your body. If you experience discomfort, stop using iPhone and consult a physician.
High-consequence activities  This device is not intended for use where the failure of the device 
could lead to death, personal injury, or severe environmental damage.
Choking hazard  Some iPhone accessories may present a choking hazard to small children. Keep 
these accessories away from small children.
Important handling information
Cleaning  Clean iPhone immediately if it comes in contact with anything that may cause stains—
such as dirt, ink, makeup, or lotions. To clean:
 •Disconnect all cables and turn iPhone off (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, then slide 
the onscreen slider).
 •Use a soft, lint-free cloth.
 •Avoid getting moisture in openings.
 •Don’t use cleaning products or compressed air.
The front or back cover of iPhone may be made of glass with a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic 
(oil repellant) coating. This coating wears over time with normal usage. Cleaning products and 
abrasive materials will further diminish the coating, and may scratch the glass. 
						

							 Appendix E    Safety, handling, and support 18 6
Using connectors, ports, and buttons  Never force a connector into a port or apply excessive 
pressure to a button, because this may cause damage that is not covered under the warranty. If 
the connector and port don’t join with reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Check for 
obstructions and make sure that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned 
the connector correctly in relation to the port.
Lightning to USB Cable  Discoloration of the Lightning connector after regular use is normal. 
Dirt, debris, and exposure to moisture may cause discoloration. If your Lightning cable or 
connector become warm during use or iPhone won’t charge or sync, disconnect it from your 
computer or power adapter and clean the Lightning connector with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do 
not use liquids or cleaning products when cleaning the Lightning connector.
Certain usage patterns can contribute to the fraying or breaking of cables. The Lightning to USB 
Cable, like any other metal wire or cable, is subject to becoming weak or brittle if repeatedly bent 
in the same spot. Aim for gentle curves instead of angles in the cable. Regularly inspect the cable 
and connector for any kinks, breaks, bends, or other damage. Should you find any such damage, 
discontinue use of the Lightning to USB Cable.
Operating temperature  iPhone is designed to work in ambient temperatures between 32° and 
95° F (0° and 35° C) and stored in temperatures between -4° and 113° F (-20° and 45° C). iPhone 
can be damaged and battery life shortened if stored or operated outside of these temperature 
ranges. Avoid exposing iPhone to dramatic changes in temperature or humidity. When you’re 
using iPhone or charging the battery, it is normal for iPhone to get warm.
If the interior temperature of iPhone exceeds normal operating temperatures (for example, in a 
hot car or in direct sunlight for extended periods of time), you may experience the following as it 
attempts to regulate its temperature:
 •iPhone stops charging.
 •The screen dims.
 •A temperature warning screen appears.
 •Some apps may close.
Important:  You may not be able to use iPhone while the temperature warning screen is 
displayed. If iPhone can’t regulate its internal temperature, it goes into deep sleep mode until 
it cools. Move iPhone to a cooler location out of direct sunlight and wait a few minutes before 
trying to use iPhone again.

Cellular settings
Use Cellular settings to turn cellular data and roaming on or off, set which apps and services use 
cellular data, see call time and cellular data usage, and set other cellular options.
If iPhone is connected to the Internet via the cellular data network, the LTE, 4G, 3G, E, or GPRS 
icon appears in the status bar.
LTE, 4G, and 3G service on GSM cellular networks support simultaneous voice and data 
communications. For all other cellular connections, you can’t use Internet services while you’re 
talking on the phone unless iPhone also has a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet. Depending on 
your network connection, you may not be able to receive calls while iPhone transfers data over 
the cellular network—when downloading a webpage, for example.
 •GSM networks:  On an EDGE or GPRS connection, incoming calls may go directly to voicemail 
during data transfers. For incoming calls that you answer, data transfers are paused.
 •CDMA networks:  On EV-DO connections, data transfers are paused when you answer incoming 
calls. On 1xRTT connections, incoming calls may go directly to voicemail during data transfers. 
For incoming calls that you answer, data transfers are paused.
Data transfer resumes when you end the call.
If Cellular Data is off, all data services use only Wi-Fi—including email, web browsing, push 
notifications, and other services. If Cellular Data is on, carrier charges may apply. For example, 
using certain features and services that transfer data, such as Siri and Messages, could result in 
charges to your data plan.
Turn Cellular Data on or off. 
Go to Settings > Cellular, then tap Cellular Data. The following 
options may also be available:
 •Turn Voice Roaming on or off (CDMA):   Turn Voice Roaming off to avoid charges from using other 
carrier’s networks. When your carrier’s network isn’t available, iPhone won’t have cellular (data 
or voice) service.
 •Turn Data Roaming on or off:  Data Roaming permits Internet access over a cellular data 
network when you’re in an area not covered by your carrier’s network. When you’re traveling, 
you can turn off Data Roaming to avoid roaming charges. See Phone settings
 on page 57 .
 •Enable or disable 4G/LTE (varies by carrier):  Using 4G or LTE loads Internet data faster in some 
cases, but may decrease battery performance. If you’re making a lot of phone calls, you may 
want to turn 4G/LTE off to extend battery life. This option is not available in all areas. On 
iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, there are options for turning off 4G/LTE, selecting Voice & Data 
( VoLTE), or Data Only.
 •Voice & Data (some carriers):  Choose LTE to load data faster. Choose slower speeds to increase 
battery life.
 •Set up Personal Hotspot:  Personal Hotspot shares the Internet connection on iPhone with your 
computer and other iOS devices. See Personal Hotspot
 on page 40.
