Important safety information for Apple Watch

WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric

shock, injury, or damage to Apple Watch or other property. Read all the safety information

below before using Apple Watch.

Handling Handle Apple Watch with care. Apple Watch cases are made of various

materials that include the following:

Aluminum Apple Watch case—7000 series aluminum, Ion-X glass (strengthened

glass), composite back (plastic)

Stainless Steel Apple Watch case—Stainless steel, sapphire crystal, ceramic back

Ceramic Apple Watch case—Ceramic, sapphire crystal, ceramic back

Apple Watch contains sensitive electronic components and can be damaged if dropped,

burned, punctured, or crushed. Apple Watch cases made of ceramic may chip or crack if

dropped or subjected to forceful impact. Donʼt use a damaged Apple Watch, such as one

with a cracked screen or case, visible liquid intrusion, or a damaged band, as it may

cause injury. Avoid heavy exposure to dust or sand.

Repairing Donʼt open Apple Watch and donʼt attempt to repair Apple Watch yourself.

Disassembling Apple Watch may damage it, result in loss of water resistance, and may

cause injury to you. If Apple Watch is damaged or malfunctions, contact Apple or an

Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can find more information about getting service

at .

Battery Donʼt attempt to replace the Apple Watch battery yourself—you may damage the

battery, which could cause overheating and injury. The lithium-ion battery in Apple Watch

should be serviced only by Apple or an authorized service provider. You may receive a

replacement Apple Watch (in place of your original device) when ordering battery

service. Batteries must be recycled or disposed of separately from household waste.

Donʼt incinerate the battery. For information about battery service and recycling, see

Distraction Using Apple Watch in some circumstances can distract you and may cause a

dangerous situation (for example, avoid reading a text message while driving a car).

Observe rules that prohibit or restrict the use of mobile devices.
