Using Connectors and Ports Never force a
connector into a port. Check for obstructions on
the port. If the connector and port don’t join with
reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Make
sure that the connector matches the port and that
you have positioned the connector correctly in
relation to the port.
Keeping iPad Within Acceptable
Temperatures Operate iPad in a place where the
temperature is between 0º and 35º C (32º to
95º F). Low- or high-temperature conditions might
temporarily shorten battery life or cause iPad to
temporarily stop working properly. Avoid dramatic
changes in temperature or humidity when using
iPad, as condensation may form on or within iPad.
Store iPad in a place where the temperature is
between -20º and 45º C (-4º to 113º F). Don’t leave
iPad in your car, because temperatures in parked cars
can exceed this range.
When you’re using iPad or charging the battery, it
is normal for iPad to get warm. The exterior of iPad
functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat
from inside the unit to the cooler air outside.
Keeping the Outside of iPad Clean Handle your
iPad with care to maintain its appearance. If you are
concerned about scratching or abrasion, you can use
one of the many cases sold separately. To clean iPad,
unplug all cables and turn o iPad (press and hold
the Sleep/Wake button, and then slide the onscreen
slider). Then use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free
cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don’t
use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol
sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to
clean iPad. iPad has an oleophobic coating on the
screen; simply wipe iPad’s screen with a soft, lint-free
cloth to remove oil left by your hands. The ability
of this coating to repel oil will diminish over time
with normal usage, and rubbing the screen with an
abrasive material will further diminish its eect and
may scratch your screen.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy iPad
contains radio transmitters and receivers. When on,
iPad sends and receives radio frequency (RF) energy
through its antenna. The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth®
antennas are located behind the Apple logo. iPad
has been tested and meets the SAR exposure
requirements for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth operation.
A cellular antenna is located at the top edge of
iPad Wi-Fi + 3G, opposite the Home button at the
bottom. For optimal mobile device performance
and so that human exposure to RF energy does not
exceed the FCC, IC, and European Union guidelines,
always follow these instructions and precautions:
Orient the device with the cellular antenna (located
under the black edge at the top of the device) away
from your body or other objects.
iPad is designed and manufactured to comply with
the limits for exposure to RF energy set by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the
United States, Industry Canada (IC) of Canada, and
regulating entities of Japan, the European Union,
and other countries. The exposure standard employs
a unit of measurement known as the specic
absorption rate, or SAR. The SAR limit applicable to
iPad set by the FCC is 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg),
1.6 W/kg by Industry Canada, and 2.0 W/kg by the
Council of the European Union. Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions
specied by these agencies, with iPad transmitting
at its highest certied power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at
the highest certied power level in each frequency
band, the actual SAR level of iPad while in operation
can be well below the maximum value because
iPad adjusts its cellular transmitting power based
in part on orientation and proximity to the wireless
network. In general, the closer you are to a cellular
base station, the lower the cellular transmitting
power level.
iPad has been tested,

and meets the FCC, IC, and
European Union RF exposure guidelines for cellular
operation. When tested at direct body contact, iPad’s
maximum SAR value for each frequency band is

The device was tested by Compliance Certication
Services, Fremont, CA according to measurement
standards and procedures specied in FCC OET
Bulletin 65, Supplement C (Edition 01-01) and IEEE
1528-2003 and Canada RSS 102. iPad adheres to the
European Council Recommendation of 12 July 1999
on the Limitation of Exposure of the General Public
to Electromagnetic Fields [1999/519/EC].
