Product information guide
Navigating Safely Do not rely on iPhone applications that provide
maps, digital compass headings, orientation information, directions,
or location-based navigation to determine precise locations, proximity,
orientation, distance, or direction. These applications should only be used
for basic navigation assistance.
Maps, directions, and location-based applications depend on data
services. These data services are subject to change and may not be
available in all geographic areas, resulting in maps, digital compass
headings, directions or location-based information that may be
unavailable, inaccurate, or incomplete.
iPhone contains an internal digital compass located in the upper-right
corner of iPhone. The accuracy of digital compass headings may be
negatively aected by magnetic or other environmental interference,
including interference caused by the close proximity of the magnets
contained in the iPhone earbuds. Never rely solely on the digital compass
for determining direction. Compare the information provided on iPhone to
your surroundings and defer to posted signs to resolve any discrepancies.
Do not use location-based applications while performing activities that
require your full attention. For important information about driving
safety, see the “Driving and Riding Safely” section. Always comply with
posted signs and the laws and regulations in the areas where you are
using iPhone.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag An air bag inates with great
force. Do not store iPhone or any of its accessories in the area over the air
bag or in the air bag deployment area.

be susceptible to blackouts or seizures (even if they have never had one
before) when exposed to ashing 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 (if available) or watching videos
on your iPhone. Discontinue use of iPhone and consult a physician if
you experience headaches, blackouts, seizures, convulsion, eye or muscle
twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movement, or disorientation.

prolonged use, hold iPhone some distance from your eyes, use iPhone in
a well-lit room, and take frequent breaks.
