can also listen to music and adjust the volume.
On iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, the Sleep/Wake button is on the right side:

Family Sharing
With Family Sharing, up to six family members can share their iTunes Store, iBooks Store, and
App Store purchases, a family calendar, and family photos, all without sharing accounts.
One adult in your household—the family organizer—invites family members to join the family
group and agrees to pay for any iTunes Store, iBooks Store, and App Store purchases those family
members initiate while part of the family group. Once set up, family members get immediate
access to each other’s music, movies, TV shows, books, and eligible apps. In addition, family
members can easily share photos in a shared family album, add events to a family calendar,
share their location with other family members, and even help locate another family members
missing device.
Children under 13 can participate in Family Sharing, too. As a parent or legal guardian, the family
organizer can provide parental consent for a child to have his or her own Apple ID, and create it
on the child’s behalf. Once the account is created, it’s added to the family group automatically.
Family Sharing requires you to sign in to iCloud with your Apple ID. You will also be asked to
conrm the Apple ID you use for the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store. It is available on

required), or PC (iCloud for Windows 4.0 required). Or, if the organizer is nearby during the setup
process, he or she can simply ask you to enter the Apple ID and password you use for iCloud.
Access shared iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store purchases. Open iTunes Store, iBooks
Store, or App Store, tap Purchased, then choose a family member from the menu that appears.
When a family member initiates a purchase, it is billed directly to the family organizers account.
Once purchased, the item is added to the initiating family member’s account and is shared with
the rest of the family. If Family Sharing is ever disabled, each person keeps the items they chose
to purchase—even if they were paid for by the family organizer.
Turn on Ask to Buy. The family organizer can require young family members to request approval
for purchases or free downloads. Go to Settings > iCloud > Family, then tap the person’s name.
Note:Age restrictions for Ask to Buy vary by area. In the United States, the family organizer can

SMS, MMS, and iMessage
Messages lets you exchange text messages with other SMS and MMS devices using your cellular
connection, and with other iOS devices and Mac computers using iMessage.
iMessage is an Apple feature that lets you send messages over Wi-Fi (or cellular connections) to
others using iOS 5 or later, or OS X Mountain Lion or later. Messages you send using iMessage
don’t count against your text messaging plan with your carrier. Messages can include photos,
videos, and other info. You can see when other people are typing, and let them know when
you’ve read their messages. If youre signed in to iMessage using the same Apple ID on other
iOS devices or a Mac (OS X Mavericks or later), you can start a conversation on one device and
continue it on another. For security, messages you send with iMessage are encrypted before
they’re sent.
With Continuity, you can also send and receive SMS and MMS messages in the Messages app on
other iOS devices (with iOS 8) or a Mac (with OS X Yosemite), if they are signed in to iMessage
with the same Apple ID as your iPhone. See About Continuity features on page 26.
Sign in to iMessage on an iOS device. Go to Settings > Messages, then turn on iMessage.
Sign in to iMessage on a Mac. On your Mac, open Messages, choose Messages > Preferences,
click Accounts, then select iMessage in the Accounts list. Enter your Apple ID and password, then

Unify contacts
When you have contacts from multiple sources, you might have multiple entries for the same
person. To keep redundant contacts from appearing in your All Contacts list, contacts from
dierent sources that have the same name are linked and displayed as a single unied contact.

manually. Edit one of the contacts, tap Edit, tap Link Contact, then choose the other contact entry
to link to.
Linked contacts aren’t merged. If you change or add information in a unied contact, the
changes are copied to each source account where that information already exists.
If you link contacts with dierent rst or last names, the names on the individual cards won’t
change, but only one name appears on the unied card. To choose which name appears when
you view the unied card, tap Edit, tap the linked card with the name you prefer, then tap Use
This Name For Unied Card.

VoiceOver
VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so you can use iPhone without seeing it.
VoiceOver tells you about each item on the screen as you select it. The VoiceOver cursor (a
rectangle) encloses the item and VoiceOver speaks its name or describes it.
Touch the screen or drag your nger over it to hear the items on the screen. When you select
text, VoiceOver reads the text. If you turn on Speak Hints, VoiceOver may tell you the name of the
item and provide instructions—for example, double-tap to open.” To interact with items, such as
buttons and links, use the gestures described in Learn VoiceOver gestures on page 154 .
When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound, then selects and speaks the rst item
on the screen (typically in the upper-left corner). VoiceOver also lets you know when the display
changes to landscape or portrait orientation, and when the screen becomes dimmed or locked.
Note:VoiceOver speaks in the language specied in Settings > General > Language & Region.
VoiceOver is available in many languages, but not all.
VoiceOver basics
Important:VoiceOver changes the gestures you use to control iPhone. When VoiceOver is on,

Learn VoiceOver gestures
When VoiceOver is on, standard touchscreen gestures have dierent eects, and additional
gestures let you move around the screen and control individual items. VoiceOver gestures
include two-, three-, and four-nger taps and swipes. For best results using multi-nger gestures,
relax and let your ngers touch the screen with some space between them.
You can use dierent techniques to perform VoiceOver gestures. For example, you can perform
a two-nger tap using two ngers on one hand, or one nger 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 nger, then tap the screen with another nger.
Try dierent techniques to discover which works best for you. If a gesture doesn’t work, try a
quicker movement, especially for a double-tap or swipe gesture. To swipe, try brushing the
screen quickly with your nger or ngers.
In VoiceOver settings, you can enter a special area where you can practice VoiceOver gestures
without aecting iPhone or its settings.
Practice VoiceOver gestures. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then tap
VoiceOver Practice. When you nish practicing, tap Done. If you don’t see the VoiceOver Practice
button, make sure VoiceOver is turned on.
Here are some key VoiceOver gestures:
Navigate and read
Tap: Select and speak the item.
Swipe right or left: Select the next or previous item.
Swipe up or down: Depends on the rotor setting. See Use the VoiceOver rotor on page 155.
Two-nger swipe up: Read all from the top of the screen.
Two-nger swipe down: Read all from the current position.
Two-nger tap: Stop or resume speaking.
Appendix A Accessibility 155
Two-nger scrub: Move two ngers back and forth three times quickly (making a “z”) to dismiss
an alert or go back to the previous screen.
Three-nger swipe up or down: Scroll one page at a time.
Three-nger swipe right or left: Go to the next or previous page (on the Home screen, for
example).
Three-nger tap: Speak additional information, such as position within a list or whether text
is selected.
Four-nger tap at top of screen: Select the rst item on the page.
Four-nger tap at bottom of screen: Select the last item on the page.
Activate
Double-tap: Activate the selected item.
Triple-tap: Double-tap an item.
Split-tap: As an alternative to selecting an item and double-tapping to activate it, touch an
item with one nger, then tap the screen with another.
Double-tap and hold (1 second) + standard gesture: Use a standard gesture. The double-tap
and hold gesture tells iPhone to interpret the next gesture as standard. For example, you can
double-tap and hold, and then without lifting your nger, drag your nger to slide a switch.
Two-nger double-tap: Answer or end a call. Play or pause in Music, Videos, Voice Memos, or
Photos. Take a photo in Camera. Start or pause recording in Camera or Voice Memos. Start or
stop the stopwatch.
Two-nger double-tap and hold: Change an item’s label to make it easier to nd.
Two-nger triple-tap: Open the Item Chooser.
Three-nger double-tap: Mute or unmute VoiceOver.
Three-nger triple-tap: Turn the screen curtain on or o.
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.
Operate the rotor. Rotate two ngers on the screen around a point between them.
Choose your rotor options. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Rotor, then
select the options you want to include in the rotor.
The available rotor options and their eects depend on what you’re doing. For example, if youre
reading an email, you can use the rotor to switch between hearing text spoken word-by-word or
character-by-character when you swipe up or down. If youre browsing a webpage, you can set
the rotor to speak all the text (either word-by-word or character-by-character), or to jump from
one item to another of a certain type, such as headers or links.
When you use an Apple Wireless Keyboard to control VoiceOver, the rotor lets you adjust settings
such as volume, speech rate, use of pitch or phonetics, typing echo, and reading of punctuation.
See Use VoiceOver with an Apple Wireless Keyboard on page 158.
Appendix A Accessibility 156
Use the onscreen keyboard
When you activate an editable text eld, the onscreen keyboard appears (unless you have an
Apple Wireless Keyboard attached).
Activate a text eld. Select the text eld, then double-tap. The insertion point and the onscreen
keyboard appear.
Enter text. Type characters using the onscreen keyboard:
Standard typing:Select a key on the keyboard by swiping left or right, then double-tap to enter
the character. Or move your nger around the keyboard to select a key and, while continuing
to touch the key with one nger, tap the screen with another nger. VoiceOver speaks the key
when it’s selected, and again when the character is entered.
Touch typing:Touch a key on the keyboard to select it, then lift your nger to enter the
character. If you touch the wrong key, slide your nger to the key you want. VoiceOver
speaks the character for each key as you touch it, but doesn’t enter a character until you lift
your nger.
Direct Touch typing:VoiceOver is disabled for the keyboard only, so you can type just as you do
when VoiceOver is o.
Choose typing style:Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Typing Style. Or, set
the rotor to Typing Mode, then swipe up or down.
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

Hearing aids
Made for iPhone hearing aids
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 aren’t listed in Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing
Aids, you need to pair them with iPhone. To start, open the battery door on each hearing aid.
Next, on iPhone, go to Settings > Bluetooth, then make sure Bluetooth is turned on. Then go
to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing Aids. 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 nished, 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—don’t try to stream
audio or otherwise use the hearing aids until pairing is nished.
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.
Adjust hearing aid settings and view status. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing
Aids, or choose Hearing Aids from the Accessibility Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut on
page 151. Hearing aid settings appear only after you pair your hearing aids with iPhone.
Appendix A Accessibility 166
For shortcut access from the Lock screen, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing Aids,
then turn on Control on Lock Screen. Use the settings to:
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.
Stream audio to your hearing aids. Stream audio from Phone, Siri, Music, Videos, and more by
choosing your hearing aids from the AirPlay menu .
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 by
positioning iPhone nearer the sound source. Triple-click the Home button, choose Hearing Aids,
then tap Start Live Listen.
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 iPad, 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 take advantage
of this, all of the devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network and signed in to iCloud using the
same Apple ID.
Hearing Aid Mode
iPhone has a Hearing Aid Mode that, when activated, may reduce interference with some
hearing aid models. 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.
Turn on Hearing Aid Mode. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing Aids.
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 www.apple.com/support/hac/.
Hearing aid compatibility ratings don’t guarantee that a particular hearing aid works with a
particular phone. Some hearing aids may work well with phones that don’t meet particular
ratings. To ensure interoperability between a hearing aid and a phone, try using them together
before purchase.
Appendix A Accessibility 167
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 dierent
features of this phone thoroughly and in dierent locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear
implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or Apple
for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange
policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.

Switch Control
Switch Control lets you control iPhone using a single switch or multiple switches. Use any of
several methods to perform actions such as selecting, tapping, dragging, typing, and even free-
hand drawing. The basic technique is to use a switch to select an item or location on the screen,
and then use the same (or dierent) switch to choose an action to perform on that item or
location. Three basic methods are:
Item scanning (default), which highlights dierent 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, drag, or pinch, for example).
If you use multiple switches, you can set up each switch to perform a specic 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 specic needs
and style.
Add a switch and turn on Switch Control
You can use any of these as a switch:
An external adaptive switch: Choose from a variety of popular USB or Bluetooth switches.
The iPhone screen: Tap the screen to trigger the switch.
The iPhone FaceTime camera: Move your head to trigger the switch. You can use the camera as
two switches: one when you move your head to the left, and the other when you move your
head to the right.
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.
If youre 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 on
page 42.
Turn on Switch Control. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control, or use the
Accessibility Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut on page 151.
Turn o Switch Control. Use any scanning method to select, then tap Settings > General >
Accessibility > Switch Control. Or triple-click the Home button.
Appendix A Accessibility 170
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 you’ve 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 whether you use
Auto Tap.
With Auto Tap o:The control menu includes only the Tap button and the More button (two
dots at the bottom). If youre 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 specically 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 haven’t 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.
Turn on Auto Tap. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Auto Tap. To tap an
item with Auto Tap on, just wait for the Auto Tap interval to expire.
Dismiss the control menu without choosing an action. Tap while the original item is
highlighted and all the icons in the control menu are dimmed. Or choose Escape from the
control menu. 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 control menu.
Scroll the screen. Select an item in a scrollable part of the screen, then:
With Auto Tap o:Choose the Scroll Down button (next to the Tap button) in the control 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 rst.
Tap the Home button. Choose Home from the control 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 Notication 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
Shake iPhone
Press the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously to take a screenshot
Swipe down from the top with two ngers to speak the screen (if you have Speak Screen
turned on)
Appendix A Accessibility 171
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 rst turn on Switch Control.
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 in 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 the scanning. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Auto
Scanning Time.
Point scanning
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 ne scanning line is on the item. Repeat
for vertical scanning.
Rene your selection point. Choose Rene Selection from the control menu.
Return to item scanning. Choose Item Mode from the control menu.
Manual selection
You can select a screen item directly using dedicated switches instead of having iPhone
alternately highlight every item.
Stop scanning and highlight items yourself. Add switches in addition to your Select Item switch
to perform the Move To Next Item and Move To Previous Item actions. (You can use the iPhone
FaceTime camera with head-left and head-right movements for these switches.) When you’ve
added the switches, turn o Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Auto Scanning.
Important:Don’t turn o Auto Scanning if you use only one switch. You need at least two: one to
move to an item and a second to select the item.
Settings and adjustments
Adjust basic settings. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control, where you can:
Add switches and specify their function
Turn o auto scanning (only if you’ve added a Move to Next Item switch)
Adjust how rapidly items are scanned

Turn o groups to scan items one at a time
AssistiveTouch
AssistiveTouch helps you use iPhone if you have diculty touching the screen or pressing the
buttons. You can use AssistiveTouch without any accessory to perform gestures that are dicult
for you. You can also use a compatible adaptive accessory (such as a joystick) together with
AssistiveTouch to control iPhone.
The AssistiveTouch menu lets you perform actions such as these by just tapping (or the
equivalent on your accessory):
Press the Home button
Summon Siri
Perform multi-nger gestures
Access Control Center or Notication Center
Adjust iPhone volume
Shake iPhone
Capture a screenshot
Turn on AssistiveTouch. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch, or use the
Accessibility Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut on page 151. When AssistiveTouch is on, the
oating menu button appears on the screen.
Appendix A Accessibility 173
Show or hide the menu. Tap the oating menu button, or click the secondary button on
your accessory.
Simulate pressing the Home button. Tap the menu button, then tap Home.
Lock or rotate the screen, adjust iPhone volume, or simulate shaking iPhone. Tap the menu
button, then tap Device.
Perform a swipe or drag that uses 2, 3, 4, or 5 ngers. Tap the menu button, tap 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
nish, tap the menu button.
Perform a pinch gesture. Tap the menu button, tap Favorites, then tap Pinch. When the pinch
circles appear, touch anywhere on the screen to move the pinch circles, then drag the pinch
circles in or out to perform a pinch gesture. When you nish, tap the menu button.
Create your own gesture. You can add your own favorite gestures to the control menu (for
example, tap and hold or two-nger rotation). Tap the menu button, tap Favorites, 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 prompts you to
touch to create a gesture, rotate two ngers on the iPhone screen around a point between them.
(You can do this with a single nger or stylus—just create each arc separately, one after the
other.) If it doesn’t 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 Favorites. When
the blue circles representing the starting nger 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
dierent degrees of rotation.
Example 2: Let’s 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 nger in one spot
until the recording progress bar reaches halfway, then lift your nger. Be careful not to move
your nger 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
Favorites. 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, they’re all played back at the same time. For example,
using one nger or a stylus to record four separate, sequential taps at four locations on the
screen creates a simultaneous four-nger 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.
Adjust your accessory tracking speed. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
AssistiveTouch > Touch speed.
Hide the menu button (with an accessory attached). Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
AssistiveTouch > Always Show Menu.

iPhone in business
Appendix
With support for secure access to corporate networks, directories, custom apps, and Microsoft
Exchange, iPhone is ready to go to work. For detailed information about using iPhone in
business, go to www.apple.com/iphone/business/.
Mail, Contacts, and Calendar
To use iPhone with your work accounts, you need to know the settings your organization
requires. If you received your iPhone from your organization, the settings and apps you need
might already be installed. If its your own iPhone, your system administrator may provide you
with the settings for you to enter, or have you connect to a mobile device management server
that installs the settings and apps you should have.
Organizational settings and accounts are typically in conguration proles. You might be asked to
install a conguration prole that was sent to you in an email, or one that is downloaded from
a webpage. When you open the le, iPhone asks for your permission to install the prole, and
displays information about what it contains.
In most cases, when you install a conguration prole that sets up an account for you, some
iPhone settings can’t be changed. For example, your organization might turn on Auto-Lock and
require you to set a passcode in order to protect the information in the accounts you access.
You can see your proles in Settings > General > Proles. If you delete a prole, all of the settings
and accounts associated with the prole are also removed, including any custom apps your
organization provided or had you download. If you need a passcode to delete a prole, contact
your system administrator.
Network access
A VPN (virtual private network) provides secure access over the Internet to private resources,
such as your organization’s network. You may need to install a VPN app from the App Store that
congures your iPhone to access a particular network. Contact your system administrator for
information about apps and settings you need.
Apps
In addition to the built-in apps and the ones you get from the App Store, your organization
may want you to have certain other apps. They might provide you with a pre-paid redemption
code for the App Store. When you download an app using a redemption code, you own it, even
though your organization purchased it for you.
Appendix B iPhone in business 176
Your organization can also purchase App Store app licenses that are assigned to you for a period
of time, but that the organization retains. You’ll be invited to participate in your organization’s
program in order to access these apps. After you enroll with your Apple ID, you’re prompted to
install these apps as they’re assigned to you. You can also nd them in your Purchased list in the
App Store. An app you receive this way is removed if the organization assigns it to someone else.
Your organization might also develop custom apps that aren’t in the App Store. You install
them from a webpage or, if your organization uses mobile device management, you receive a
notication asking you to install them over the air. These apps belong to your organization, and
they may be removed or stop working if you delete a conguration prole or dissociate iPhone
from the mobile device management server.

Charging Charge iPhone with the included USB cable and power adapter, or with other third-
party “Made for iPhone cables and power adapters that are compatible with USB 2.0 or later,
or power adapters compliant with applicable country regulations and with one or more of the
following standards: EN 301489-34, IEC 62684, YD/T 1591-2009, CNS 15285, ITU L.1000, or another
applicable mobile phone power adapter interoperability standard. An iPhone Micro USB Adapter
(available separately in some areas) or other adapter may be needed to connect iPhone to some
compatible power adapters. Only micro USB power adapters in certain regions that comply
with applicable mobile device power adapter interoperability standards are compatible. Please
contact the power adapter manufacturer to nd out if your micro USB power adapter complies
with these standards.
Using damaged cables or chargers, or charging when moisture is present, can cause re, electric
shock, injury, or damage to iPhone or other property. When you use the Apple USB Power
Adapter to charge iPhone, make sure the USB cable is fully inserted into the power adapter
before you plug the adapter into a power outlet.
Lightning cable and connector Avoid prolonged skin contact with the connector when the
Lightning to USB Cable is plugged into a power source because it may cause discomfort or
injury. Sleeping or sitting on the Lightning connector should be avoided.
Prolonged heat exposure iPhone and its power adapter comply with applicable surface
temperature standards and limits. However, even within these limits, sustained contact with
warm surfaces for long periods of time may cause discomfort or injury. Use common sense
to avoid situations where your skin is in contact with a device or its power adapter when it’s
operating or plugged into a power source for long periods of time. For example, don’t sleep on a
device or power adapter, or place them under a blanket, pillow, or your body, when it’s plugged
into a power source. Its important to keep iPhone and its power adapter in a well-ventilated
area when in use or charging. Take special care if you have a physical condition that aects your
ability to detect heat against the body.
Hearing loss Listening to sound at high volumes may damage your hearing. Background noise,
as well as continued exposure to high volume levels, can make sounds seem quieter than they
actually are. Turn on audio playback and check the volume before inserting anything in your ear.
For more information about hearing loss, see www.apple.com/sound/. For information about
how to set a maximum volume limit on iPhone, see Music settings on page 76.
To avoid hearing damage, use only compatible receivers, earbuds, headphones, speakerphones,
or earpieces with iPhone. The headsets sold with iPhone 4s or later in China (identiable by
dark insulating rings on the plug) are designed to comply with Chinese standards and are only
compatible with iPhone 4s or later, iPad 2 or later, and iPod touch 5th generation.
WARNING:To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for
long periods.
Radio frequency exposureiPhone uses radio signals to connect to wireless networks. For
information about radio frequency (RF) energy resulting from radio signals and steps you can
take to minimize exposure, go to Settings > General > About > Legal > RF Exposure or visit
www.apple.com/legal/rfexposure/.
Appendix E Safety, handling, and support 185
Radio frequency interference Observe signs and notices that prohibit or restrict the use
of mobile phones (for example, in healthcare facilities or blasting areas). Although iPhone is
designed, tested, and manufactured to comply with regulations governing radio frequency
emissions, such emissions from iPhone can negatively aect the operation of other electronic
equipment, causing them to malfunction. Turn o iPhone or use Airplane Mode to turn o the
iPhone wireless transmitters when use is prohibited, such as while traveling in aircraft, or when
asked to do so by authorities.
Medical device interferenceiPhone contains components and radios that emit electromagnetic
elds. iPhone also contains magnets and the included headphones also have magnets in the
earbuds. These electromagnetic elds and magnets may interfere with pacemakers, debrillators,
or other medical devices. Maintain a safe distance of separation between your medical device
and iPhone and the earbuds. Consult your physician and medical device manufacturer for
information specic to your medical device. If you suspect iPhone is interfering with your
pacemaker, debrillator, or any other medical device, stop using iPhone.
Not a medical deviceiPhone and the Health app are not designed or intended for use in the
diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention
of disease.
Medical conditions If you have any medical condition that you believe could be aected by
iPhone (for example, seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with your physician
prior to using iPhone.
Explosive atmospheres Charging or using iPhone in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, such as areas where the air contains high levels of ammable chemicals,
vapors, or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders), may be hazardous. Obey all signs
and instructions.
Repetitive motion When you perform repetitive activities such as typing or playing games on
iPhone, you may experience discomfort in your hands, arms, wrists, shoulders, neck, or other
parts of your body. If you experience discomfort, stop using iPhone and consult a physician.
High-consequence activities This device is not intended for use where the failure of the device
could lead to death, personal injury, or severe environmental damage.
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—
such as dirt, ink, makeup, or lotions. To clean:
Disconnect all cables and turn iPhone o (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 or back cover of iPhone may be made of glass with a ngerprint-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.
Appendix E Safety, handling, and support 186
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 iPhone 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 nd 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 you’re
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 can’t 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 can’t use Internet services while you’re
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.
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 o, all data services use only Wi-Fi—including email, web browsing, push
notications, 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.
