Important handling information
Cleaning Clean iPad 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 iPad 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 of iPad is 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.
Using connectors, ports, and buttons Never force a connector into a port or
apply excessive pressure to a button, because this may cause damage that is
not covered under the warranty. If the connector and port don’t join with
reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Check for obstructions and make
sure that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned the
connector correctly in relation to the port.
Lightning to USB Cable Discoloration of the Lightning connector after regular
use is normal. Dirt, debris, and exposure to moisture may cause discoloration. If
your Lightning cable or connector become warm during use or your iPad won’t
charge or sync, disconnect it from your computer or power adapter and clean
the Lightning connector with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquids or
cleaning products when cleaning the Lightning connector.
Certain usage patterns can contribute to the fraying or breaking of cables. The
Lightning to USB Cable, like any other metal wire or cable, is subject to
becoming weak or brittle if repeatedly bent in the same spot. Aim for gentle
curves instead of angles in the cable. Regularly inspect the cable and connector
for any kinks, breaks, bends, or other damage. Should you find any such
damage, discontinue use of the Lightning to USB Cable.
Operating temperature iPad is designed to work in ambient temperatures
between 32° and 95° F (0° and 35° C) and stored in temperatures between -4°
and 113° F (-20° and 45° C). iPad can be damaged and battery life shortened if
stored or operated outside of these temperature ranges. Avoid exposing iPad to
dramatic changes in temperature or humidity. When you’re using iPad or
charging the battery, it is normal for iPad to get warm.
If the interior temperature of iPad exceeds normal operating temperatures (for
example, in a hot car or in direct sunlight for extended periods of time), you may
experience the following as it attempts to regulate its temperature:
iPad stops charging.
The screen dims.
A temperature warning screen appears.
Some apps may close.
Important: You may not be able to use iPad while the temperature warning
screen is displayed. If iPad can’t regulate its internal temperature, it goes into
