Appendix E Safety, handling, and support 185
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.
