Apple says, “Read all safety information below and
operating instructions before using iPad to avoid injury.”
“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 screen to the left of the
Home button, and behind the Apple logo... A cellular antenna is
located at the top edge of iPad Wi-Fi+3G, when oriented with the
Home button at the bottom.”
“... to be sure 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 in portrait mode with the Home button at the bottom of the display,
or in landscape mode with the cellular antenna (located under the
black edge at the top of the device) away from your body or other
objects...”
“you
can further limit your exposure by limiting the amount of time using iPad Wi-Fi+3G in wireless mode, since time is a
factor in how much exposure a person receives, and by placing more
distance between your body and iPad Wi-Fi + 3G, since exposure level
drops off dramatically with distance.”
Seizures, Blackouts, and Eyestrain
A small percentage of people may be susceptible to blackouts or
seizures (even if they have never had one before) when exposed to flashing
lights or light patterns such as when playing games or watching video. If you
have experienced seizures or blackouts or have a family history of such
occurrences, you should consult a physician before playing games or watching
videos on your iPad. Discontinue use of iPad and consult a physician if you
experience headaches, blackouts, seizures, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching,
loss of awareness, involuntary movement, or disorientation. To reduce risk of
headaches, blackouts, seizures, and eyestrain, avoid prolonged use, hold iPad
some distance from your eyes, use iPad in a well-lit room, and take frequent
breaks.
Glass Parts
The outside cover of the iPad screen is made of glass. This glass
could break if iPad is dropped on a hard surface or receives a substantial
impact. If the glass chips or cracks, do not touch or attempt to remove the
broken glass and stop using iPad. Glass cracked due to misuse or abuse is not
covered under the warranty.
Radio Frequency Interference
Radio-frequency emissions from electronic equipment can negatively
affect the operation of other electronic equipment, causing them to
malfunction... the wireless transmitters and electrical circuits in iPad Wi-Fi
+ 3G may cause interference in other electronic equipment. Therefore, please
take the following precautions:
Aircraft
Use of iPad may be prohibited while traveling in aircraft.
For more information about using Airplane Mode to turn off the
iPad wireless transmitters, see the iPad User Guide.
Vehicles
Radio frequency emissions from iPad may affect electronic systems
in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding
your vehicle.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker.
Persons with pacemakers: Should always keep iPad more than 15 cm
(6 inches) from the pacemaker when the wireless device is turned on.
If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking
place, turn iPad off
immediately (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, and then slide
the onscreen slider).
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the device
manufacturer or your physician to determine if it is adequately shielded from
radio frequency emissions from iPad.
Health Care
Facilities
Hospitals and health care facilities may use equipment that is
particularly sensitive to external radio frequency emissions. Turn iPad off
when staff or posted signs instruct you to do so.
Blasting Areas and
Posted Facilities
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off iPad when
in a “blasting area” or in areas posted “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all
signs and instructions.
