 1 Activating and Setting Up iPhone

What You Need
To use iPhone, you need:
 A new two-year wireless service plan with AT&T
 A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 port and one of the following operating systems:
 Mac OS X version10.4.10 or later
 Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
 Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate edition
 iTunes 7.3 or later, available at www.itunes.com
 An iTunes Store account
 An Internet connection

You must be at least 18 years old to open a new AT&T wireless account. You will need a
major credit card to open a new iTunes Store account.

Activating iPhone
Before you can use any of iPhone’s features, you must activate iPhone by signing up for
an AT&T service plan and registering iPhone with the network. If you already have an
AT&T (Cingular) wireless account, you can choose to upgrade your account to work
with iPhone, or you can keep using your old phone and add a new line for iPhone.
(Some accounts may not be upgradable.) You can transfer your current phone number
to iPhone, or get a new one.

For more information about iPhone, including videos about how to activate and use
iPhone, go to:
www.apple.com/iphone

4
 To activate iPhone:
1 Download and install iTunes 7.3 (or later) from www.itunes.com.
2 Connect iPhone to a USB 2.0 port on your Mac or PC using the dock and cable that
came with iPhone. (Don’t connect iPhone to the USB port on your keyboard—it does
not have enough power.) iTunes opens automatically.

3 Follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to activate iPhone and sync iPhone with
your contacts, calendars, email accounts, and bookmarks on your computer.
A single checkmark in “Set Up Your iPhone” syncs all these items automatically. Or you
can use iTunes to customize the information you sync, and to sync your music, photos,
podcasts, TV shows, and movies to iPhone. See the following section.

Important: AT&T will send you a welcome text message a few minutes after activation
is complete, letting you know that you can receive calls. If you are migrating your
current phone number to iPhone, activation is usually completed in less than 20
minutes, but it may take several hours depending on your previous carrier.

Syncing iPhone with Your Computer

When you connect iPhone to your computer, iTunes syncs iPhone with the information
and media on your computer, according to your iPhone settings in iTunes. By default,
iTunes does this automatically.

Chapter 1 Activating and Setting Up iPhone 5

 You can set iTunes to sync any or all of the following:
 Contacts—names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, and so on
 Calendars—appointments and events
 Email account settings
 Webpage bookmarks
 Music and audiobooks
 Movies
 TV shows
 Podcasts
 Photos

Because music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, and photos are managed on your
computer, these items are synced one-way, from your computer to iPhone. Email
account settings also are only synced from your computer to iPhone. This allows you to
customize your email account on iPhone without affecting the email account settings
on your computer. Contacts and calendars are synced both ways between your
computer and iPhone. New entries or changes you make on iPhone get synced to your
computer, and vice versa.

If you like, you can set iPhone to sync with only a portion of what’s on your computer.
For example, you might want to sync only a group of contacts from your address book,
or only unwatched movies. You can adjust sync settings whenever iPhone is connected
to your computer.

Important: You can connect and sync only with one iPhone at a time. If you’re using a
PC, you should be logged in to your own user account on the computer before
connecting iPhone. If you connect more than one iPhone to the same user account,
use the same sync settings for each.

Setting Up Syncing
You use iTunes on your computer to set up which items are synced with iPhone.

Set up syncing
1 Connect iPhone to your computer, and open iTunes (if it doesn’t open automatically).
2 Select iPhone in the iTunes Source pane.
3 Configure the sync settings in each of the panes.
4 Click Apply in the lower-right corner of the screen.

6 Chapter 1 Activating and Setting Up iPhone

The following sections provide an overview of each of the iPhone configuration panes
in iTunes. For more information, see iTunes Help (in iTunes, choose Help > iTunes Help).

Summary Pane
Select “Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected” to have iTunes sync iPhone
automatically whenever you connect iPhone to your computer. Deselect this option if
you want to sync only by clicking the Sync button in iTunes. For more information
about preventing automatic syncing, see page 9.

Select “Only sync checked items” if you want to sync only checked items in your iTunes
library.

Info Pane
The Info pane lets you configure the sync settings for your contacts, calendars, email
accounts, and web browser.

Contacts
You can sync contacts from Mac OS X Address Book and Yahoo! Address Book on a
Mac, or from Yahoo! Address Book, Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), or
Microsoft Outlook on a PC. On a Mac, any other address books you’ve set to sync with
Address Book, such as Microsoft Entourage, will also be synced with iPhone. If you sync
with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Configure when you change your
Yahoo! ID or password after you’ve set up syncing. Click Configure and enter your new
login information.
Note: Syncing won’t delete any contact in Yahoo! Address Book that contains a
Messenger ID, even if you’ve deleted the contact from your address book on iPhone or
your computer. To delete a contact with a Messenger ID, log in to your online Yahoo!
account and delete the contact using Yahoo! Address Book.

Chapter 1 Activating and Setting Up iPhone 7

 Calendars
You can sync calendars from iCal on a Mac, or from Microsoft Outlook on a PC.
On a Mac, when you sync iCal calendars with iPhone, any other calendars you’ve set to
sync with iCal, such as your events and tasks in Microsoft Entourage, will also be synced
with iPhone.

Mail Accounts
You can sync email account settings from Mail on a Mac, or Microsoft Outlook or
Outlook Express on a PC. Account settings are only transferred from your computer to
iPhone. Changes you make to an email account on iPhone do not affect the account on
your computer.
Note: The password for your Yahoo! email account is not saved on your computer.
So if you sync a Yahoo! email account, you must enter the password on iPhone.
From the Home screen choose Settings > Mail, choose your Yahoo! account, then enter
your password in the password field.

Web Browser
You can sync bookmarks from Safari on a Mac, or Safari or Microsoft Internet Explorer
on a PC.

Advanced
These options let you replace the information on iPhone with the information on your
computer during the next sync.

Music, Podcasts, and Video Panes

Use these panes to specify the media you want to sync. You can sync all music,
podcasts, and videos, or select the playlists and specific podcasts and videos you want
on iPhone. Audiobooks and music videos are synced along with music.

Photos Pane
You can sync iPhone with photos in iPhoto 4.0.3 or later on a Mac, or with Adobe
Photoshop Album 2.0 or later or Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 or later on a PC.
Or you can sync with any folder on your computer that contains images.

8 Chapter 1 Activating and Setting Up iPhone

 Preventing iPhone from Syncing Automatically
You may want to prevent iPhone from syncing automatically if you prefer to add items
to iPhone manually or when you connect iPhone to some other computer than the
main computer you sync iPhone with.

Set iTunes not to sync automatically when you connect iPhone

m Connect iPhone to your computer and in iTunes click the Summary tab. Then deselect
“Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected.” This also prevents iTunes from
opening automatically when you connect iPhone. You can still start a sync manually.

Set iTunes to prevent automatic syncing for all iPhones

m In iTunes choose iTunes > Preferences (on a Mac) or Edit > Preferences (on a PC),
then deselect “Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones.”
If this checkbox is selected, iPhone won’t sync automatically, even if “Automatically
sync” is selected in the Summary pane.

Prevent iPhone from syncing automatically one time, without changing

any settings
m Open iTunes. Then as you connect iPhone to your computer, press and hold Command-
Option (if you’re using a Mac) or Shift-Control (if you’re using a PC) until you see iPhone
in the iTunes Source pane.

Start a sync manually

m Click the Summary tab, then click Sync in the lower-right corner of the window.
Or, if you’ve changed any sync settings, click Apply.

Disconnecting iPhone from Your Computer

Unless iPhone is syncing with your computer, you can disconnect iPhone from your
computer at any time.

When iPhone is syncing with your computer, iPhone shows “Sync in progress.” If you
disconnect iPhone before it’s done syncing, some data may not have been transferred.
When iPhone is done syncing, iTunes shows “iPhone sync is complete.”

To cancel a sync so you can disconnect iPhone, drag the slider on iPhone. If you get a
call during a sync, the sync is canceled automatically and you can unplug iPhone to
answer the call. Connect iPhone after the call to finish syncing.

Tap a network to join it.

Many Wi-Fi networks can be used free of charge, and some require a fee. To join a
Wi-Fi network at a hot spot where charges apply, in most cases you can open Safari to
see a webpage that allows you to sign up for service.

For information about configuring Wi-Fi settings, see “Wi-Fi” on page 94.

EDGE
EDGE allows Internet connectivity over the cellular network, available through AT&T’s
wireless service. Check AT&T’s network coverage in your area for availability.

You can tell iPhone is connected to the Internet over EDGE if you see in the status
bar at the top of the screen.
If you’re outside AT&T’s network, you may be able to use EDGE from another carrier.
Roaming charges may apply.

Note: While iPhone is actively transferring data over EDGE—downloading a webpage,

for example—you may not be able to receive calls. Incoming calls may go to voicemail.

Chapter 2 Basics 21
 Using iPhone on an Airplane
Airplane mode disables the wireless features of iPhone to avoid interfering with aircraft
operation and other electrical equipment.

The iPhone Bluetooth Headset, available separately, is unlike any other Bluetooth
headset you’ve used before. It features autopairing and simple operation. You can pair
iPhone with the headset simply by placing iPhone and the headset in the iPhone Dual
Dock, which comes with the headset. Pairing sets iPhone to work with only one
headset, preventing connections with other headsets.

Routing Calls Through a Bluetooth Headset, Car Kit, or iPhone

After you’ve paired a Bluetooth device to work with iPhone, you must make a
connection to have iPhone use the device for your calls.

When iPhone is connected to a Bluetooth device, all outgoing calls are routed through
the device by default. Incoming calls are routed through the device if you answer using
the device, and through iPhone if you answer using iPhone. In some cases, your
contacts list transfers to the car kit and you can start a call by looking up a contact on
the car kit’s display.

iPhone can be connected with only one Bluetooth device at a time.

Chapter 3 Phone 39

do other things on iPhone. iPhone works with the most popular email systems—
including Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, AOL, and .Mac Mail—as well as most industry-standard
POP3 and IMAP email systems. Mail lets you send and receive photos and graphics,
which are displayed in your message along with the text. You can also get PDFs and
other attachments and view them on iPhone.

Setting Up Email Accounts

You must have an email address—which looks like “[email protected]”—to use
iPhone for email. If you have Internet access, you most likely got an email address from
your Internet service provider.

messages themselves. Whether the messages in your inbox appear on both iPhone and
your computer depends on the type of email account you have and how it’s
configured.

If You Don’t Have an Email Account

Email accounts are available from most Internet service providers. If you use a Mac, you
can get an email address, along with other services, at www.mac.com. Fees may apply.

Tap iPod to listen to songs, audiobooks, and podcasts,
and watch TV shows, movies, and other video.

iPod on iPhone works . . . just like an iPod! iPhone syncs with iTunes on your computer
to get the songs, movies, TV shows, and other content you’ve collected in your iTunes
library.

Syncing iPod Content from Your iTunes Library

If you’ve turned on syncing, iTunes automatically syncs content from your iTunes library
to iPhone each time you connect it to your computer. iTunes lets you sync all of your
media, or selected songs, movies, videos, and podcasts.

For information about syncing iPhone with your iTunes library, see “Syncing iPhone
with Your Computer” on page 5.

For information about using iTunes to get music and other media onto your computer,
open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.

 Syncing Music, Podcasts, and Video
Only songs and videos encoded in formats that iPhone supports are transferred to
iPhone. For information about which formats iPhone supports, see page 111.

If there are more songs in your iTunes library than can fit on your iPhone, iTunes asks if
you want to create a special playlist and set it to sync with iPhone. Then iTunes
randomly fills the playlist. You can add or delete songs from the playlist and sync again.

When you sync podcasts or audiobooks on iPhone with those on your computer, both
iTunes and iPhone remember where you last left off and start playing from that
position.

Transferring Purchased Content from iPhone to Another Computer

Music, video, and podcasts sync from your iTunes library to iPhone, but not from
iPhone to your iTunes library. However, you can transfer content purchased from the
iTunes store from iPhone to an iTunes library on another computer.
m Connect iPhone to the other computer. iTunes asks if you want to transfer purchased
content. You can also connect iPhone and, in iTunes, choose File > Transfer Purchases.
To play the content, the computer must be authorized to play content from your iTunes
account.

Converting Videos for iPhone

You can add videos other than those purchased from iTunes to iPhone, such as videos
you create in iMovie on a Macintosh or videos you download from the Internet.

If you try to add a video from iTunes to iPhone and a message says the video can’t play
on iPhone, you can convert the video.

Convert a video to work with iPhone

m Select the video in your iTunes library and choose Advanced > “Convert Selection for
iPod.” Then add the converted video to iPhone.

Playing Music and Video

The high resolution display makes listening to songs on iPhone as much a visual
experience as a musical one. You can scroll through your playlists, or use Cover Flow to
browse through your album art. Videos play in landscape orientation to take full
advantage of the widescreen display.

serviceable parts, except for the SIM card and SIM tray. If iPhone has been submerged
in water, punctured, or subjected to a severe fall, do not use it until you take it to an
authorized service provider. For service information, choose iPhone Help from the Help
menu in iTunes or go to www.apple.com/support/iphone/service. The rechargeable
battery in iPhone should be replaced only by an authorized service provider. For more
information about batteries, go to www.apple.com/batteries.

101
 Charging iPhone
To charge iPhone, only use the Apple Dock Connector to USB cable with an Apple USB
Power Adapter or a high-power USB port on another device that is compliant with the
USB 2.0 or 1.1 standards, another Apple-branded product or accessory designed to
work with iPhone, or a third-party accessory certified to use Apple’s “Works with
iPhone” logo.

Read all safety instructions for any products and accessories before using with iPhone.
Apple is not responsible for the operation of third-party accessories or their compliance
with safety and regulatory standards.

When you use the Apple USB Power Adapter to charge iPhone, make sure that the
power adapter is fully assembled before you plug it into a power outlet. Then insert the
Apple USB Power Adapter firmly into the power outlet. Do not connect or disconnect
the Apple USB Power Adapter with wet hands. Do not use any power adapter other
than the Apple USB Power Adapter to charge iPhone.

The Apple USB Power Adapter may become warm during normal use. Always allow
adequate ventilation around the Apple USB Power Adapter and use care when
handling. Unplug the Apple USB Power Adapter if any of the following conditions exist:
 The power cord or plug has become frayed or damaged.
 The adapter is exposed to rain, liquid, or excessive moisture.
 The adapter case has become damaged.
 You suspect the adapter needs service or repair.
 You want to clean the adapter.

Avoiding Hearing Damage

Permanent hearing loss may occur if the receiver, earbuds, headphones, speakerphone,
or earpieces are used at high volume. Set the volume to a safe level. You can adapt over
time to a higher volume of sound that may sound normal but can be damaging to your
hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and
have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before
your hearing could be affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:
 Limit the amount of time you use the receiver, earbuds, headphones, speakerphone,
or earpieces at high volume.
 Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
 Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
For information about how to set a maximum volume limit on iPhone, see page 65.

102 Appendix A Safety and Handling

 Driving Safely
Use of iPhone and headphones (even if used in only one ear) while driving a vehicle or
riding a bicycle is not recommended and is illegal in some areas. Check and obey the
laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices like iPhone in the areas where you
drive. Be careful and attentive while driving. If you decide to use iPhone while driving
or riding a bicycle, keep in mind the following guidelines:1
 Give full attention to driving and to the road. Using a mobile device while driving
may be distracting. If you find it disruptive or distracting while operating any type of
vehicle, riding a bicycle, or performing any activity that requires your full attention,
pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions
require.
 Get to know iPhone and its features such as favorites, recents, and speakerphone.
These features help you to place your call without taking your attention off the road.
See Chapter 3, “Phone,” on page 24 for more information.
 Use a hands-free device. Add an extra layer of convenience and safety to your
iPhone with one of the many hands-free accessories available.
 Position iPhone within easy reach. Keep your eyes on the road. If you get an
incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voicemail answer it for you.
 Assess the traffic before dialing, or place calls when you are not moving or before
pulling into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary. Never dial or
enter other text while you are driving.
 Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving. If necessary, suspend
the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Driving in rain, sleet, snow,
ice, fog, and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
 Do not take notes, look up phone numbers, or perform any other activities
that require your attention while driving. Jotting down a to-do list or flipping
through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility,
driving safely.
 Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting.
Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations
that have the potential to divert your attention from the road.

Avoiding Eyestrain
When watching video or reading text on iPhone, avoid prolonged use and take breaks
to prevent eyestrain.

Appendix A Safety and Handling 103

 Glass Parts
The outside cover of the iPhone screen is made of glass. This glass could break if
iPhone is dropped on a hard surface or receives a substantial impact. If the glass chips
or cracks, do not touch or attempt to remove the broken glass. Stop using iPhone until
the glass is replaced by an authorized service provider. For service information, choose
iPhone Help from the Help menu in iTunes or go to www.apple.com/support/iphone/
service. Glass cracked due to misuse or abuse is not covered under the warranty.

Choking Hazards
iPhone contains small parts, which may present a choking hazard to small children.
Keep iPhone and its accessories away from small children.

Repetitive Motion
When you perform repetitive activities such as typing on iPhone, you may experience
occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body.
If you continue to have discomfort during or after such use, stop use and see a
physician.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn off iPhone (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, and then drag the onscreen
red slider) when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Do not charge
iPhone, and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire, resulting in serious injury or even death.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, marked clearly.
Potential areas may include: fueling areas (such as gas stations); below deck on boats;
fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas
(such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such
as grain, dust, or metal powders); and any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag

An air bag inflates 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.

104 Appendix A Safety and Handling

 Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
iPhone contains radio transmitters and receivers. When on, iPhone receives and sends
out radio frequency (RF) energy through its antenna. The iPhone antenna is located on
the back of iPhone near the dock connector. iPhone is designed and manufactured not
to exceed limits for exposure to RF energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the United States. The exposure standard employs a unit of
measurement known as the specific absorption rate, or SAR. The SAR limit applicable to
iPhone set by the FCC is 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg). Tests for SAR are conducted
using standard operating positions (i.e., at the ear and worn on the body) specified by
the FCC with iPhone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of iPhone while in operation can be well below the maximum value
because iPhone adjusts its cellular transmitting power based in part on proximity to
the wireless network. In general, the closer you are to a cellular base station, the lower
the cellular transmitting power level.

iPhone has been tested,1 and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for cellular, Wi-Fi,
and Bluetooth operation. When tested for use at the ear, iPhone’s highest SAR value is
0.974 W/kg. When tested for body-worn operation, with iPhone positioned 5/8 inch
(15 mm) from the body, iPhone’s highest SAR value is 0.694 W/kg. For body-worn
operation, iPhone’s SAR measurement may exceed the FCC exposure guidelines if
positioned less than 5/8 inch (15 mm) from the body. For optimal mobile device
performance and to be sure that human exposure to RF energy does not exceed the
FCC guidelines, always follow these instructions and precautions: When on a call using
the built-in audio receiver in iPhone, hold iPhone with the 30-pin connector pointed
down toward your shoulder to increase separation from the antenna. For body-worn
operation, keep iPhone at least 5/8 inch (15 mm) away from the body, and only use
carrying cases, belt clips, or holders that do not have metal parts and that maintain at
least 5/8 inch (15 mm) separation between iPhone and the body. When using the EDGE
data transmission feature of iPhone (see “Connecting to the Internet” on page 21 for
more information), position iPhone’s antenna at least 5/8 inch (15 mm) from 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 off dramatically with distance.

1. The
device was tested by an accredited laboratory according to measurement standards and procedures specified in
FCC OET Bulletin 65, Supplement C (Edition 01-01) and IEEE P1528.1, April 21 2003.

Appendix A Safety and Handling 105

 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/cellphones to address inquiries about the safety of mobile
phones. Please check the website periodically for updates.

For information about the scientific research related to RF energy exposure, see the
EMF Research Database maintained by the World Health Organization at:
www.who.int/emf

Radio Frequency Interference

Nearly every electronic device is subject to radio frequency interference from external
sources if inadequately shielded or designed, or otherwise not configured to be
compatible. As a result, iPhone may cause interference with other devices. Follow these
instructions to avoid interference problems.

Aircraft
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations may prohibit using wireless devices
while in the air. For more information about using airplane mode to turn off the iPhone
wireless transmitters, see “Using iPhone on an Airplane” on page 22.

Vehicles
RF signals may affect installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle.

Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain
electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from iPhone.

Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of 6 inches (15 cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and
a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. Persons with
pacemakers:
 Should always keep iPhone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the
phone is turned on
 Should not carry iPhone in a breast pocket
 Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference

If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn off iPhone
immediately.

106 Appendix A Safety and Handling

Hearing Aids
iPhone may interfere with some hearing aids. If it does, consult the hearing aid
manufacturer or your physician for alternatives or remedies.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the device manufacturer or your
physician to determine if it is adequately shielded from external RF energy.

Turn off iPhone in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals and health care facilities may use equipment that is
sensitive to external RF energy.

Posted Facilities
Turn off iPhone in any facility where posted notices so require.

Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn off iPhone when in a “blasting area”
or in areas posted “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.

Emergency Calls
You should not rely on wireless devices for essential communications, such as medical
emergencies. Use of iPhone to call emergency services, for example by dialing 911,
may not work in all locations. Emergency numbers and services vary by region,
and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed due to network availability or
environmental interference.

Important Handling Information

NOTICE: Failure to follow these handling instructions could result in damage to
iPhone or other property.

Carrying iPhone
iPhone contains sensitive components. Do not bend, drop, or crush iPhone. If you are
concerned about scratching iPhone, you can use one of the many cases sold separately.

Using Connectors and Ports

Never force a connector into a port. Check for obstructions on the port. If the
connector and port don’t join with reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Make
sure that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned the connector
correctly in relation to the port.

Appendix A Safety and Handling 107

 Keeping iPhone Within Acceptable Temperatures
Operate iPhone in a place where the temperature is always between 0º and 35º C (32º

 AIFF

The following video file formats are supported by iPhone:

 H.264 (Baseline Profile Level 3.0)
 MPEG-4 (Simple Profile)

A song encoded using Apple Lossless format has full CD-quality sound, but takes up
only about half as much space as a song encoded using AIFF or WAV format. The same
song encoded in AAC or MP3 format takes up even less space. When you import music
from a CD using iTunes, it is converted to AAC format by default.

Using iTunes for Windows, you can convert nonprotected WMA files to AAC or MP3
format. This can be useful if you have a library of music encoded in WMA format.

iPhone does not support WMA, MPEG Layer 1, MPEG Layer 2 audio files, or audible.com
format 1.

If you have a song or video in your iTunes library that isn’t supported by iPhone, you
may be able to convert it to a format iPhone supports. See iTunes Help for more
information.
