Important safety information
WARNING:
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
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 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, see www.apple.com/batteries/replacement-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). 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.
