Important safety information

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 

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 

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.
