iPhone’s SAR measurement may exceed the FCC exposure guidelines for
body-worn operation if positioned less than 15 mm (5/8 inch) from the
body (e.g. when carrying iPhone in your pocket). For optimal mobile device
performance and 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: When on a call using the built-in audio receiver
in iPhone, hold iPhone with the dock connector pointed down toward your
shoulder to increase separation from the antenna. When using iPhone near
your body for voice calls or for wireless data transmission over a cellular
network, keep iPhone at least 15 mm (5/8 inch) away from the body, and only
use carrying cases, belt clips, or holders that do not have metal parts and that
maintain at least 15 mm (5/8 inch) separation between iPhone and the body.
If you are still concerned about exposure to RF energy, you can further limit
your exposure by limiting the amount of time using iPhone, since time is a
factor in how much exposure a person receives, and by placing more distance
between your body and iPhone, since exposure level drops o dramatically
with distance.
Additional Information For more information from the FCC about exposure
to RF energy, see: www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety
The FCC and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also maintain
a consumer website at www.fda.gov/Radiation-EmittingProducts/
RadiationEmittingProductsandProcedures/HomeBusinessandEntertainment/
CellPhones/default.htm to address inquiries about the safety of mobile
phones. Please check the website periodically for updates.

Radio Frequency Interference Radio-frequency emissions from electronic
equipment can negatively aect the operation of other electronic equipment
causing them to malfunction. Although iPhone is designed, tested, and
manufactured to comply with regulations governing radio frequency
emission in countries such as the United States, Canada, the European Union,
and Japan, the wireless transmitters and electrical circuits in iPhone may
cause interference in other electronic equipment. Therefore, please take the
following precautions:
Aircraft Use of iPhone may be prohibited while traveling in aircraft. For
more information about using Airplane Mode to turn o the iPhone wireless
transmitters, see the iPhone User Guide.
Vehicles Radio frequency emissions from iPhone may aect electronic
systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative
regarding your vehicle.
