Home at a glance
Home provides a secure way to control and automate HomeKit-enabled accessories,
such as lights, locks, thermostats, window shades, smart plugs, cameras, and more.
With Home, you can control any “Works with Apple HomeKit” accessory using iPhone.
After you set up your home and its rooms, you can control accessories individually, or
use scenes to control multiple accessories with one command. For example, you might
create a scene called “going to bed” that turns off the lights around the house, dims the
lights in the room “master bedroom” to 30%, then locks the front door and lowers the
thermostat.
If you have an Apple TV (4th generation or later), or iPad that you leave at home, you can
schedule scenes to run automatically at certain times, or when you activate a particular
accessory (such as unlocking the front door). This also allows you, and others you invite,
to securely control your home while youʼre away.

as well as give it a name. The name defines how itʼs shown in the Home app, and also
how you control it using Siri.
Control an accessory. Tap an accessoryʼs button to quickly turn it on or off, or touch
and hold the button until controls appear. The available controls depend on the type of
accessory it is. For example, with some lightbulbs, you can change colors. You can also
control accessories using Control Center.

thermostat. Home has some typical scenes already defined for you, but youʼll need to
edit them before theyʼll work.
Create a scene. Tap , enter a name for the scene (such as “Dinner Party,” or
“Watching TV”), then tap Add Accessories. Select the accessories you want this scene to
control, then tap Done. Next, set each accessory to change it to the state you want it to
be when the scene is run. For example, you can set up the scene so that when you turn
on lights in the bedroom, the lights in the kitchen are turned off.
Run a scene. Tap a scene to run it. If you donʼt see the scene you want to run, look in a
different room.

Control your home using Siri
You can use Siri to control your accessories and scenes. Here are some of the things you
might be able to say to Siri, depending on your accessories, how youʼve named them,
and the scenes youʼve created:
“Turn off the lights” or “Turn on the lights”
“Dim the lights” or “Set brightness to 55%”
“Is the hallway light on?”
“Set the temperature to 68 degrees”
“Did I lock the front door?”
If you set up rooms, scenes, or more than one home, you can say things like:
“Iʼm home” or “Iʼm leaving”
“Turn down the kitchen lights”
“Turn on the fan in the office”

Automations and remote access
If you have an Apple TV (4th generation or later), or you set up iPad with iOS 10 that you
leave at home, you can use automations and remote access. Automations can run scenes
automatically based on the time of day, your location, a sensor being activated, or the
action of an accessory. The Apple TV or iPad acts as a home hub, which also allows
remote access to your accessories.
Allow remote access. Go to Settings > iCloud, then turn on Home. Make sure youʼre
signed in using the same Apple ID on all the devices.
If you have an Apple TV using the same iCloud account as your iPhone, it will be paired
automatically and enabled for automation. To set up iPad for automation, see the Home
chapter of iPad User Guide.
Create an automation. Tap the Automation tab, tap Create New Automation, then
choose one of the automation triggers described below.
When arriving or leaving a location. Tap My Location Changes, then set a geofence

set this automation to only occur after sunset, which is useful for turning on lights only
when theyʼre needed.
At a time of day. Tap A Time of Day Occurs, then choose when you want this automation
to run. If you choose Sunset or Sunrise, the time will vary as the season changes.
When an accessory changes. Tap An Accessory is Controlled, select an accessory,
then tap Next and follow the onscreen instructions. You might use this, for example, to
run a scene when you unlock the front door.
A sensor detects something. Tap A Sensor Detects Something, select an accessory,
then tap Next and follow the onscreen instructions. You might use this, for example, to
turn on lights in a stairway when motion is detected nearby.

About CarPlay
CarPlay puts key iPhone apps on your carʼs built-in display. With CarPlay and your
iPhone, you can get turn-by-turn directions, make phone calls, exchange text messages,
listen to music, and more. CarPlay uses the contacts on your iPhone to help you make
calls, send texts, and find destinations.
CarPlay is available on select automobiles (go to the CarPlay available models website)
and on select after-market navigation systems. CarPlay works with iPhone 5 and later.
Note: CarPlay is available only in certain areas (go to the iOS Feature Availability
website). Siri must be enabled on your iPhone. Go to Settings > General > Siri.
WARNING: For important information about avoiding distractions that could lead to
dangerous situations, see Important safety information.
You operate CarPlay using your carʼs built-in controls—for example, a touchscreen, a
rotary knob controller, or a touchpad. To learn how to operate your display, see the
ownerʼs guide that came with your car.
Or just use Siri voice control to tell CarPlay what you want. Without looking at or touching
iPhone, you can ask Siri to call people, select and play music, hear and compose text
messages, get directions, read your notifications, find calendar information, add
reminders, and more. (Siri often steps in automatically to help you, depending on the app
youʼre using.)
Get started
If your car supports wireless CarPlay, press and hold the voice control button on your
steering wheel to start the CarPlay setup. To connect iPhone to your carʼs USB port, use
an Apple-approved Lightning to USB cable. It may be labeled with the CarPlay logo, the
word CarPlay, or an image of a smartphone.
Depending on your car, the CarPlay Home screen may appear automatically.

Location Services
Location Services lets location-based apps such as Reminders, Maps, Camera, and
Wallet gather and use data indicating your location. Your approximate location is
determined using available information from cellular network data, local Wi-Fi networks
(if you have Wi-Fi turned on), and GPS (may not be available in all areas). The location
data collected by Apple isnʼt collected in a form that personally identifies you. When an

Use two-factor authentication for security
Two-factor authentication is an extra layer of security for your Apple ID designed to
ensure that all the photos, documents, and other important data you store with Apple
can be accessed only by you, and only with your devices. Itʼs built into iOS 9 and later,
and OS X v10.11 and later.
If your account meets all the requirements for two-factor authentication, you are
prompted to turn it on when you set up iPhone with iOS 10. If you are signed in to iCloud,
you can also turn it on by going to Settings > iCloud. Tap your account at the top of the
screen, then tap Password & Security. For more information, see the Apple Support
article Availability of two-factor authentication.
Important: If youʼre using two-step verification, you must turn it off before you can turn
on two-factor authentication. Sign in to your Apple ID account page. In the Security
section, tap Edit, then tap Turn Off Two-Step Verification.
Once enrolled, when you enter your Apple ID and password for the first time on a new
device, youʼre asked to verify your identity with a six-digit verification code. This code is
displayed automatically on your other devices or sent to a phone number you trust. Just
enter the code to sign in and access your information on your new device.
You wonʼt be asked for a verification code again on that device unless you sign out
completely, erase your device, or need to change your password for security reasons.
For more help with two-factor authentication, see the Apple Support article Two-factor
authentication for Apple ID.
Use two-step verification for security
If two-factor authentication isnʼt available for your Apple ID, two-step verification is an
optional way to increase the security of the Apple ID you use to sign in to iCloud. It
requires you to verify your identity using one of your devices or your Recovery Key in
addition to entering your password. For more information, see the Apple Support article
Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID.
Touch ID
On iPhone 5s and later, you can unlock iPhone by placing a finger on the Home button.

iCloud Keychain
iCloud Keychain keeps your Safari website user names and passwords, credit card
information, and Wi-Fi network information up to date across all of your approved
devices (iOS 7 or later) and Mac computers (OS X v10.9 or later). iCloud Keychain is
secured with 256-bit AES encryption during storage and transmission, and cannot be
read by Apple.
iCloud Keychain works with Safari Password Generator and AutoFill. When youʼre setting
up a new account, Safari Password Generator suggests unique, hard-to-guess
passwords. You can use AutoFill to have iPhone enter your user name, password, and
credit card info automatically. To protect your personal information, set a passcode if you
turn on iCloud Keychain and AutoFill.

9/7/16, 2)10 PM
Note: Some websites do not support AutoFill.
iCloud Keychain can also keep the accounts you use in Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and
Messages up to date across all of your iOS devices and Mac computers.
To learn more about iCloud Keychain, see the Apple Support article Frequently asked
questions.
Set up iCloud Keychain. Go to Settings > iCloud > Keychain. Turn on iCloud Keychain,
then follow the onscreen instructions.
When you set up iCloud Keychain, you create an iCloud Security Code. You can use your
iCloud Security Code to authorize additional devices to use your iCloud Keychain. Itʼs
also used to verify your identity so that you can perform other iCloud Keychain actions,
such as recovering your iCloud Keychain if you lose all your devices.
Set up iCloud Keychain on additional devices. Set up iCloud Keychain for each device
that you want to add. When you turn on iCloud Keychain on an additional device, your
other devices that use iCloud Keychain receive a notification requesting approval for the
additional device. After you approve the additional device, your iCloud Keychain
automatically begins updating on that device.
To approve iCloud Keychain on an additional device when you donʼt have access to your
other devices, follow the onscreen instructions to use your iCloud Security Code.
Forgot your iCloud Security Code? If you enter the wrong iCloud Security Code too
many times when using iCloud Keychain, your iCloud Keychain is disabled on that device,
and your keychain in iCloud is deleted. To reset or create a new iCloud Security Code,
see the Apple Support article If you enter your iCloud Security Code incorrectly too many
times.

reports the location of your iPhone, so you can see where itʼs been.
When iPhone is in Lost Mode on devices that support Apple Pay, Find My iPhone
attempts to suspend the ability to pay with credit and debit cards used for Apple Pay.
See About Apple Pay.
Erase iPhone: Protect your privacy by erasing all the information and media on your
iPhone and restoring it to its original factory settings. Activation Lock prevents
anyone else from activating and using your iPhone, even after you erase it with Find
My iPhone. On devices that support Apple Pay, erasing iPhone also removes the
ability to pay with credit and debit cards used for Apple Pay.
Note: Before you sell or give away your iPhone, you should erase it and turn off Find My

VoiceOver
VoiceOver
VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so that you can use iPhone even if
you are blind or have difficulty seeing the screen.
VoiceOver tells you about each item you select. The VoiceOver cursor (a black outline)
encloses the item and VoiceOver speaks its name or describes it.
Touch the screen or drag your finger over it to hear the items on the screen, including
icons and text. To interact with items, such as buttons and links, use VoiceOver gestures.
When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound, then selects and speaks the first
item on the screen (typically in the upper-left corner). It lets you know when the display
changes to landscape or portrait orientation, when the screen becomes dimmed or
locked, and is active on the Lock screen when you wake iPhone.
Note: VoiceOver is available in many languages. Go to Settings > General > Language &
Region to choose a language.

Learn VoiceOver gestures
Important: VoiceOver changes the gestures you use to control iPhone. When VoiceOver
is on, you must use VoiceOver gestures to operate iPhone—even to turn VoiceOver off.
When VoiceOver is on, standard touchscreen gestures have different effects, and
additional gestures let you move around the screen and control individual items.
VoiceOver gestures include two-, three-, and four-finger taps and swipes. For best
results using multifinger gestures, let your fingers touch the screen with some space
between them.
You can use different techniques to perform VoiceOver gestures. For example, you can
perform a two-finger tap using two fingers on one hand, or one finger on each hand. You
can even use your thumbs. Some people use a split-tap gesture: instead of selecting an
item and double-tapping, touch and hold an item with one finger, then tap the screen
with another finger.

Two-finger tap: Stop or resume speaking.
Two-finger scrub: Move two fingers back and forth three times quickly (making a “z”)
to dismiss an alert or go back to the previous screen.
Three-finger swipe up or down: Scroll one page at a time.
Three-finger swipe right or left: Go to the next or previous page (on the Home
screen, for example).
Three-finger tap: Speak additional information, such as position within a list or
whether text is selected.
Four-finger tap at top of screen: Select the first item on the page.

three rising tones, and then without lifting your finger, drag your finger on a slider.
Two-finger double-tap: This gesture initiates an action or halts or pauses an action in
progress. For example, you can:
Answer or end a call.
Play or pause in Music, Videos, Voice Memos, or Photos (slideshows).
Take a photo in Camera.
Start or pause recording in Camera or Voice Memos.

enabled, use the three-finger triple-tap gesture.
Three-finger triple-tap: Turn the screen curtain on or off. If both VoiceOver and Zoom
are enabled, use the three-finger quadruple-tap gesture.
Use the VoiceOver rotor
Use the rotor to choose what happens when you swipe up or down with VoiceOver
turned on, or to select special input methods such as Braille Screen Input or Handwriting.

Touch typing: Touch a key on the keyboard to select it, then lift your finger to enter
the character. If you touch the wrong key, slide your finger to the key you want.
VoiceOver speaks the character for each key as you touch it, but doesnʼt enter a
character until you lift your finger.
Direct Touch typing: VoiceOver is disabled for the keyboard only, so you can type just
as you do when VoiceOver is off.
Move the insertion point. Swipe up or down to move the insertion point forward or
backward in the text. Use the rotor to choose whether you want to move the insertion
point by character, by word, or by line. To jump to the beginning or end, double-tap the
text.
VoiceOver makes a sound when the insertion point moves, and speaks the character,
word, or line that the insertion point moves across. When moving forward by words, the
insertion point is placed at the end of each word, before the space or punctuation that
follows. When moving backward, the insertion point is placed at the end of the preceding
word, before the space or punctuation that follows it.
Move the insertion point past the punctuation at the end of a word or sentence. Use
the rotor to switch back to character mode.
When moving the insertion point by line, VoiceOver speaks each line as you move across
it. When moving forward, the insertion point is placed at the beginning of the next line
(except when you reach the last line of a paragraph, when the insertion point is moved to
the end of the line just spoken). When moving backward, the insertion point is placed at
the beginning of the line thatʼs spoken.
Change typing feedback. By default, VoiceOver speaks characters as well as words
when you type. To hear no feedback, hear characters only, or hear words only, go to
Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Typing Feedback, then choose an
option.
Use phonetics in typing feedback. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
VoiceOver > Phonetic Feedback. Text is read character by character. VoiceOver first
speaks the character, then its phonetic equivalent—for example, “f” and then “foxtrot.”
Delete a character. Use
with any of the VoiceOver typing styles. VoiceOver speaks
each character as itʼs deleted. If Use Pitch Change is turned on, VoiceOver speaks
deleted characters in a lower pitch.

Hearing devices
If you have Made for iPhone hearing aids, you can use iPhone to adjust their settings,
stream audio, or use iPhone as a remote mic.
Pair with iPhone. If your hearing aids arenʼt listed in Settings > General > Accessibility >
Hearing Devices, you need to pair them with iPhone. To start, open the battery door on
each hearing aid. Next, on iPhone, go to Settings > Bluetooth, and make sure Bluetooth
is turned on. Then, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing Devices. Close the
battery doors on your hearing aids and wait until their name appears in the list of devices
(this could take a minute). When the name appears, tap it and respond to the pairing
request.
When pairing is finished, you hear a series of beeps and a tone, and a checkmark
appears next to the hearing aids in the Devices list. Pairing can take as long as 60
seconds—donʼt try to stream audio or otherwise use the hearing aids until pairing is
finished.
You should only need to pair once (and your audiologist might do it for you). After that,
each time you turn your hearing aids back on, they reconnect to iPhone.
Turn on Hearing Aid Mode. Hearing Aid Mode may reduce interference with some
hearing aid models. To turn it on, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing
Devices.
Note: Hearing Aid Mode reduces the transmission power of the cellular radio in the GSM
1900 MHz band and may result in decreased 2G cellular coverage.
Adjust hearing aid settings and view status. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
Hearing Devices, or choose Hearing Devices in Accessibility Shortcut. Hearing aid
settings appear only after you pair your hearing aids with iPhone.
For shortcut access from the Lock screen, go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
Hearing Devices, then turn on Control on Lock Screen. From the Lock Screen, you can:
Check hearing aid battery status.
Adjust ambient microphone volume and equalization.
Choose which hearing aids (left, right, or both) receive streaming audio.
Control Live Listen.
Choose whether call audio and media audio are routed to the hearing aid.

Choose to play ringtones through the hearing aid. (Not all hearing aids support this
feature.)
Stream audio to your hearing aids. To stream audio from Phone, Siri, Music, Videos,
and more, see Bluetooth devices.
Use iPhone as a remote microphone. You can use Live Listen to stream sound from the
microphone in iPhone to your hearing aids. This can help you hear better in some
situations—for example, when having a conversation in a noisy environment. Triple-click
the Home button, choose Hearing Devices, tap Start Live Listen, then position iPhone
near the sound source.
Use your hearing aids with more than one iOS device. If you pair your hearing aids
with more than one iOS device (both iPhone and iPod touch, for example), the
connection for your hearing aids automatically switches from one to the other when you
do something that generates audio on the other device, or when you receive a phone call
on iPhone. Changes you make to hearing aid settings on one device are automatically
sent to your other iOS devices. To enable this feature, sign in to iCloud using the same
Apple ID on all the devices, and connect all the devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
Hearing aid compatibility
The FCC has adopted hearing aid compatibility (HAC) rules for digital wireless phones.
These rules require certain phones to be tested and rated under the American National
Standard Institute (ANSI) C63.19-2007 or C63.19-2011 hearing aid compatibility
standards.
The ANSI standard for hearing aid compatibility contains two types of ratings:
An “M” rating for reduced radio frequency interference to enable acoustic coupling
with hearing aids that are not operating in telecoil mode
A “T” rating for inductive coupling with hearing aids operating in telecoil mode
These ratings are given on a scale from one to four, where four is the most compatible. A
phone is considered hearing aid compatible under FCC rules if it is rated M3 or M4 for
acoustic coupling and T3 or T4 for inductive coupling.
For iPhone hearing aid compatibility ratings, see the Apple Support article About Hearing
Aid Compatibility (HAC) requirements for iPhone.
Hearing aid compatibility ratings donʼt guarantee that a particular hearing aid works with
a particular phone. Some hearing aids may work well with phones that donʼt meet
particular ratings. To ensure interoperability between a hearing aid and a phone, try using

them together before purchase.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless
technologies it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in
this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try
the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your
hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult
your carrier or Apple for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions
about return or exchange policies, consult your carrier or phone retailer.

Switch Control
Switch Control overview
If you have a motor impairment, Switch Control lets you control iPhone using one or more
connected physical switches. Use any of several methods to perform actions such as
selecting, tapping, pressing, dragging, typing, and even free-hand drawing. You use a
switch to select an item or location on the screen, and then use the same (or different)
switch to choose an action to perform on that item or location. Three basic methods are:
Item scanning (default), which highlights different items on the screen until you
select one.
Point scanning, which lets you use scanning crosshairs to pick a screen location.
Manual selection, which lets you move from item to item on demand (requires
multiple switches).
Whichever method you use, when you select an individual item (rather than a group), a
menu appears so you can choose how to act on the selected item (tap, press, drag, or
pinch, for example).
If you use multiple switches, you can set up each switch to perform a specific action and
customize your item selection method. For example, instead of automatically scanning
screen items, you can set up switches to move to the next or previous item on demand.
You can adjust the behavior of Switch Control in a variety of ways, to suit your specific
needs and style.
Add a switch and turn on Switch Control
You can use the following as a switch:
An external adaptive switch: Choose a Bluetooth switch or a Made For iPhone switch
that plugs into the lightning port.
The iPhone screen: Tap the screen to trigger the switch. (Or, on devices that support
3D Touch, press the screen.)
Add a switch and choose its action. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch
Control > Switches. If you use only one switch, it is your Select Item switch by default.
http://help.apple.com/iphone/10/en.lproj/static.html
Page 307 of 333
iPhone
9/7/16, 2)10 PM
If youʼre adding an external switch, you need to connect it to iPhone before it will appear
in the list of available switches. Follow the instructions that came with the switch. If it
connects using Bluetooth, you need to pair it with iPhone—turn on the switch, go to
Settings > Bluetooth, tap the switch, then follow the onscreen instructions. For more
information, see Bluetooth devices.
Turn on Switch Control. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control, then
turn on Switch Control. Or triple-click the Home button. See Accessibility Shortcut.
Turn off Switch Control. Use any scanning method to select and tap Settings >
General > Accessibility > Switch Control, then turn off Switch Control. Or triple-click the
Home button.
Basic techniques
Whether you use item scanning or point scanning, the Switch Control basics are the
same.
Select an item. While the item is highlighted, trigger the switch youʼve set up as your
Select Item switch. If you are using a single switch, it is your Select Item switch by
default.
Perform an action on the selected item. Choose a command from the control menu
that appears when you select the item. The layout of the menu depends on how you
configure tap behavior. (To choose an option, go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
Switch Control > Tap Behavior.)
With Default on: The control menu usually includes only the Tap button and the More
button (two dots at the bottom). If youʼre in a scrollable area of the screen, a Scroll
button also appears. To tap the highlighted item, trigger your Select Item button
when Tap is highlighted. To see additional action buttons, choose More at the bottom
of the menu. If you have multiple switches, you can set one up specifically for
tapping.
With Auto Tap on: To tap the item, do nothing—the item is automatically tapped when
the Auto Tap interval expires (0.75 seconds if you havenʼt changed it). To see the
control menu, trigger your Select Item button before the Auto Tap interval expires.
The control menu skips the Tap button and goes right to the full set of action
buttons.
With Always Tap on: Tap to select the highlighted item rather than display the control
menu. Wait until the end of the scan cycle, then tap a button to display the control
menu.
http://help.apple.com/iphone/10/en.lproj/static.html
Page 308 of 333
iPhone
9/7/16, 2)10 PM
Note: Always Tap applies only when you choose item scanning. When point scanning,
the default behavior applies.
Work with recipes. A recipe lets you temporarily assign a special action to a switch. For
example, you can choose a recipe to turn pages in iBooks or control a game. To create,
edit, or launch a recipe, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control >
Recipes.
Dismiss the Scanner Menu without choosing an action. Tap while the original item is
highlighted and all the icons in the control menu are dimmed. The menu goes away after
cycling the number of times you specify at Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch
Control > Loops.
Perform screen gestures. Choose Gestures from the Scanner Menu.
Scroll the screen. Select an item in a scrollable part of the screen, then:
With Auto Tap off: Choose the Scroll Down button (next to the Tap button) in the
Scanner Menu. Or, for more scrolling options, choose More, then choose Scroll.
With Auto Tap on: Choose Scroll from the control menu. If many actions are available,
you might have to choose More first.
Tap the Home button. Choose Home from the Scanner Menu.
Perform other hardware actions. Select any item, then choose Device from the menu
that appears. Use the menu to mimic these actions:
Double-click the Home button for multitasking
Open Notification Center or Control Center
Press the Sleep/Wake button to lock iPhone
Rotate iPhone
Flip the Ring/Silent switch
Press the volume buttons
Hold down the Home button to open Siri
Triple-click the Home button

Swipe down from the top with two fingers to speak the screen (if you have Speak
Screen turned on)
On devices that support 3D Touch, replicate 3D Touch to preview the contents of an
email message
Use Switch Control on another iOS device. Ensure that you sign in to iCloud with the
same Apple ID on the other iOS device, then choose the other device from the menu.
Item scanning
Item scanning alternately highlights each item or group of items on the entire screen until
you trigger your Select Item switch. If there are many items, Switch Control highlights
them in groups. When you select a group, highlighting continues with the items in the
group. When you select a unique item, scanning stops and the control menu appears.
Item scanning is the default when you first turn on Switch Control.
You can choose from three scanning styles—auto scanning, manual scanning, and
single-switch step scanning. Auto scanning automatically highlights items, one after the
other. With manual scanning, you use one switch to highlight an item and another to
activate it. Single-switch step scanning uses a switch to move the highlight from item to
item. If you take no action after a period of time, the highlighted item activates.
Select an item or enter a group. Watch (or listen) as items are highlighted. When the
item you want to control (or the group containing the item) is highlighted, trigger your
Select Item switch. Work your way down the hierarchy of items until you select the
individual item you want to control.
Back out of a group. Trigger your Select Item switch when the dashed highlight around
the group or item appears.
Dismiss the control menu without performing an action. Trigger your Select Item
switch when the item itself is highlighted. Or choose Escape from the control menu.
Hear the names of items as they are highlighted. Go to Settings > General >
Accessibility > Switch Control, then turn on Speech. Or choose Settings from the control
menu, then choose Speech On.
Slow down or speed up the scanning. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch
Control > Auto Scanning Time.

Point scanning lets you select an item on the screen by pinpointing it with scanning
crosshairs.
Switch to point scanning. Use item scanning to choose Point Mode from the control
menu. The vertical crosshair appears when you close the menu.
Select an item. Trigger your Select Item switch when the item you want is within the
broad, horizontal scanning band, then trigger again when the fine scanning line is on the
item. Repeat for vertical scanning.

Device > More > Gestures, then tap the number of digits needed for the gesture. When
the corresponding circles appear on the screen, swipe or drag in the direction required
by the gesture. When you finish, tap the menu button.
Perform a pinch gesture. Tap the menu button, tap Custom, then tap Pinch. When the
pinch circles appear, touch anywhere on the screen to move the pinch circles, then drag
them in or out to perform a pinch gesture. When you finish, tap the menu button.
Create your own gesture. You can add your own favorite gestures to the control menu
(for example, touch and hold or two-finger rotation). Tap the menu button, tap Custom,
then tap an empty gesture placeholder. Or go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
AssistiveTouch > Create New Gesture.
Example 1: To create the rotation gesture, go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
AssistiveTouch > Create New Gesture. On the gesture recording screen that asks you to
touch to create a gesture, rotate two fingers on the iPhone screen around a point
between them. (You can do this with a single finger or stylus—just create each arc
http://help.apple.com/iphone/10/en.lproj/static.html

separately, one after the other.) If it doesnʼt turn out quite right, tap Cancel, then try
again. When it looks right, tap Save, then give the gesture a name—maybe “Rotate 90.”
Then, to rotate the view in Maps, for example, open Maps, tap the AssistiveTouch menu
button, and choose Rotate 90 from Custom. When the blue circles representing the
starting finger positions appear, drag them to the point around which you want to rotate
the map, then release. You might want to create several gestures with different degrees
of rotation.
Example 2: Letʼs create the touch-and-hold gesture that you use to start rearranging
icons on your Home screen. This time, on the gesture recording screen, hold down your
finger in one spot until the recording progress bar reaches halfway, then lift your finger.
Be careful not to move your finger while recording, or the gesture will be recorded as a
drag. Tap Save, then name the gesture. To use the gesture, tap the AssistiveTouch menu
button, then choose your gesture from Custom. When the blue circle representing your
touch appears, drag it over a Home screen icon and release.
If you record a sequence of taps or drags, theyʼre all played back at the same time. For
example, using one finger or a stylus to record four separate, sequential taps at four
locations on the screen creates a simultaneous four-finger tap.
Exit a menu without performing a gesture. Tap anywhere outside the menu. To return
to the previous menu, tap the arrow in the middle of the menu.
Move the menu button. Drag it anywhere along the edge of the screen.
Touch Accommodations
If you have trouble using the touchscreen, use Touch Accommodations to change how
the screen responds to touches.
Choose how long you must touch the screen before a touch is recognized. You can
configure iPhone to respond only to touches of a certain duration. Go to Settings >
General > Accessibility > Touch Accommodations, turn on Hold Duration, then use the
Gesture Delay plus and minus buttons to choose a duration (the default is 0.10 seconds).
Choose the duration in which multiple touches are treated as a single touch. If you
have trouble touching the screen just once, turn on Ignore Repeat. Then, if you touch the
screen several times quickly, iPhone treats the touches as one. To change the amount of
time between touches before iPhone treats them as one, go to Settings > General >
Accessibility > Touch Accommodations, turn on Ignore Repeat, then use the Gesture
Delay plus and minus buttons to adjust the timing.

Safety, handling, and support
Important safety information
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric
shock, injury, or damage to iPhone or other property. Read all the safety information
below before using iPhone.
Handling Handle iPhone with care. It is made of metal, glass, and plastic and has
sensitive electronic components inside. iPhone can be damaged if dropped, burned,
punctured, or crushed, or if it comes in contact with liquid. Donʼt use a damaged iPhone,
such as one with a cracked screen, as it may cause injury. If youʼre concerned about

Choking hazard Some iPhone accessories may present a choking hazard to small
children. Keep these accessories away from small children.
Important handling information
Cleaning Clean iPhone immediately if it comes in contact with anything that may cause
stains, or other damage—for example, dirt or sand, ink, makeup, soap, detergent, acids
or acidic foods, or lotions. To clean:
Disconnect all cables and turn iPhone off (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button,
then slide the onscreen slider).
Use a soft, lint-free cloth—for example, a lens cloth.
Avoid getting moisture in openings.
Donʼt use cleaning products or compressed air.
iPhone may have 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 iPhone.
Exposure to liquid and dust If liquid splashes or dust gets on iPhone, wipe it off with a
soft, lint-free cloth—for example, a lens cloth, and ensure that your iPhone is dry and
free of dust before opening the SIM tray. Minimize exposing iPhone to soap, detergent,
acids or acidic foods, and any liquids—for example, salt water, soapy water, pool water,
perfume, insect repellent, lotions, sunscreen, oil, adhesive remover, hair dye, and
solvents. If iPhone comes into contact with any of these substances, follow the
instructions above in the “Cleaning” section.
iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are splash, water, and dust resistant and were tested under
controlled laboratory conditions with a rating of IP67 under IEC standard 60529. Splash,
water, and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and resistance might decrease
as a result of normal wear. Liquid damage not covered under warranty. To prevent liquid
damage, avoid the following:
Swimming or bathing with iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus
Exposing iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus to pressurized water or high velocity water, such
as when showering, water skiing, wake boarding, surfing, jet skiing, and so on
Using iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus in a sauna or steam room

Intentionally submerging iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus in water
Operating iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus outside the suggested temperature ranges or in
extremely humid conditions
Dropping iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus or subjecting it to other impacts
Disassembling iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus, including removing screws
If your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus has been exposed to liquid, unplug all cables and do not
charge your device until itʼs completely dry. Using accessories or charging when wet may
damage your iPhone. Allow at least 5 hours before charging or connecting a Lightning
accessory.
To dry iPhone, tap it gently against your hand with the Lightning connector facing down
and remove excess liquid. Leave the device in a dry area with sufficient airflow. Placing
the device in front of a fan blowing cool air directly into the Lightning connector may help
the drying process.
Do not dry your iPhone using an external heat source or insert a foreign object into the
Lightning connector such as a cotton swab or a paper towel.
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 donʼt join with reasonable ease, they
probably donʼt 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 iPhone wonʼt 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 iPhone 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). iPhone can be damaged and battery life shortened if stored or operated

outside of these temperature ranges. Avoid exposing iPhone to dramatic changes in
temperature or humidity. When youʼre using iPhone or charging the battery, it is normal
for iPhone to get warm.
If the interior temperature of iPhone 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:
iPhone stops charging.
The screen dims.
A temperature warning screen appears.
Some apps may close.
Important: You may not be able to use iPhone while the temperature warning screen is
displayed. If iPhone canʼt regulate its internal temperature, it goes into deep sleep mode
until it cools. Move iPhone to a cooler location out of direct sunlight and wait a few
minutes before trying to use iPhone again.

If iPhone is connected to the Internet via the cellular data network, the LTE, 4G, 3G, E, or
GPRS icon appears in the status bar.
LTE, 4G, and 3G service on GSM cellular networks support simultaneous voice and data
communications. For all other cellular connections, you canʼt use Internet services while
youʼre talking on the phone unless iPhone also has a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet.
Depending on your network connection, you may not be able to receive calls while
iPhone transfers data over the cellular network—when downloading a webpage, for
example.
GSM networks: On an EDGE or GPRS connection, incoming calls may go directly to
voicemail during data transfers. For incoming calls that you answer, data transfers are
paused.
http://help.apple.com/iphone/10/en.lproj/static.html
Page 325 of 333
iPhone
9/7/16, 2)10 PM
CDMA networks: On EV-DO connections, data transfers are paused when you answer
incoming calls. On 1xRTT connections, incoming calls may go directly to voicemail
during data transfers. For incoming calls that you answer, data transfers are paused.
Data transfer resumes when you end the call.
If Cellular Data is off, all data services use only Wi-Fi—including email, web browsing,
push notifications, and other services. If Cellular Data is on, carrier charges may apply.
For example, using certain features and services that transfer data, such as Siri and
Messages, could result in charges to your data plan.
Turn Cellular Data on or off. Go to Settings > Cellular, then tap Cellular Data. The
following options may also be available:
Turn Voice Roaming on or off (CDMA): Turn Voice Roaming off to avoid charges from
using other carrierʼs networks. When your carrierʼs network isnʼt available, iPhone
wonʼt have cellular (data or voice) service.
Turn Data Roaming on or off: Data Roaming permits Internet access over a cellular
data network when youʼre in an area not covered by your carrierʼs network. When
youʼre traveling, you can turn off Data Roaming to avoid roaming charges.
Enable or disable 4G/LTE (varies by carrier): Using 4G or LTE loads Internet data
faster in some cases, but may decrease battery performance. If youʼre making a lot of
phone calls, you may want to turn 4G/LTE off to extend battery life. This option is not
available in all areas. On iPhone SE, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and later, there are
options for turning off 4G/LTE or for selecting Voice & Data (VoLTE) or Data Only.
Voice & Data (some carriers): Choose LTE to load data faster. (This also turns on
VoLTE.) Choose slower speeds to increase battery life.
Set up Personal Hotspot: Personal Hotspot shares the Internet connection on iPhone
with your computer and other iOS devices. See Personal Hotspot in this guide.
Turn Wi-Fi Assist on or off: If Wi-Fi connectivity is poor, Wi-Fi Assist uses cellular
data to boost the signal.
Note: Using data over a cellular network may incur additional fees.
Set whether cellular data is used for apps and services. Go to Settings > Cellular,
then turn cellular data on or off for any app that can use cellular data. If a setting is off,
iPhone uses only Wi-Fi for that service. The iTunes setting includes both iTunes Match
and automatic downloads from the iTunes Store and the App Store.
