Safety, Handling, & Support
Important safety information
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in re, electric shock, or other
injuries, 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 by 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 nd 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 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.
Distraction Using iPhone in some circumstances can distract you and may cause a dangerous
situation. Observe rules that prohibit or restrict the use of mobile phones 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 iPhone to your surroundings. Use common
sense when navigating. Always observe current road conditions and posted signs to resolve any
discrepancies. Some Maps features require Location Services. See Privacy on page 36.
