Handling

Handle your phone with care. You may damage your phone or its battery if you disassemble, drop, bend, burn, crush or puncture it. Don’t use a phone with a cracked screen or damaged enclosure. Using a damaged phone may cause battery overheating or injury. Don’t expose your phone to liquids, which can cause a short circuit and overheating. If your phone gets wet, don't attempt to dry it using an external heat source.

Your phone is designed to work best in ambient temperatures between 32° to 95° F (0° and 35° C) and should be stored between ambient temperatures of -4° and 113° F (-20° and 45° C). Don't leave your phone in places where the temperature may exceed 113° F (45° C), such as on a car dashboard or near a heating vent as this may damage the phone, overheat the battery, or pose a potential risk of fire. Keep your phone away from heat sources and out of direct sunlight. If your device becomes too hot, disconnect it from its power source if it’s plugged in, move it to a cooler place, and don’t use it until it has cooled. Your phone is designed to work best at an altitude of up to 6562 ft (2,000 m).

Use of your phone in certain modes, such as gaming, taking videos, using a flashlight setting, or VR, can cause it to generate more heat than it would under normal operating conditions. This may cause your phone to operate in low power mode or shut down temporarily. Use extra care when operating the device in these modes.

Contact customer service and don’t use your phone if it isn’t working properly or has been damaged. For more information, visit g.co/pixel/contact.

Repair & service

Don’t attempt to repair your phone yourself. Disassembling the device may damage it, or cause injury to you.

Charging

Be sure your phone and its power adapter are in a well-ventilated area when in use or charging. Using a damaged cable or power adapter or charging when there is moisture present can cause fire, electric shock, injury, or damage to your phone or other property. Don’t charge your phone when it’s wet. Avoid charging your phone in direct sunlight.

When charging your phone, make sure the power adapter is plugged into a power outlet near the phone and is easily accessible. When disconnecting the power adapter from a power outlet, pull on the adapter, never on the cable. Don’t twist or pinch the USB cable, and don’t force a connector into a port. If you receive a message while charging that instructs you to unplug the charger, disconnect the adapter plug. Before attempting to charge again, make sure both the charging cable connector and the phone's charging port are dry and clear of any objects.

This phone must be used with an AC power adapter that has been certified with a Limited Power Source output per IEC 60950-1/62368-1 rated: 5 Volts DC, maximum 3 Amp; 9 Volts DC, maximum 2 Amp; or both and that has been qualified per CTIA Certification Requirements for Battery System Compliance to IEEE 1725. This phone comes with an AC power adapter that has the proper certification.

Only charge your phone with (1) the included power adapter and cable, (2) a USB-C PD compliant charger, or (3) a USB-C charger available on the Google Store and at Google authorized resellers (look for Google’s “made for” badge). Failure to use compatible charging accessories can cause fire, electric shock, injury, or damage to the phone and the accessories.

Prolonged heat exposure

The phone and its charger generate heat during normal operation and comply with applicable surface temperature standards and limits.

Environmental restrictions

To prevent damage to your phone’s parts or internal circuits, don't use or store the device or its accessories in dusty, smoky, damp, or dirty environments, or near magnetic fields. Keep it away from heat sources and out of direct sunlight. Don't leave your phone inside a vehicle or in places where the temperature may exceed 113° F (45° C), such as on a car dashboard, window sill, near a heating vent, or behind glass that is exposed to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for extended periods of time. This may damage the phone, overheat the battery, or pose a risk of fire or explosion.

Explosive atmospheres

Don't charge, use, store, or transport your phone where flammables or explosives are stored (in gas stations, fuel depots, or chemical plants, for example). Don't use your phone where blasting operations are in progress, or in potentially explosive atmospheres such as fuel or chemical transfer or storage areas, and in areas where the air contains high levels of flammable chemicals, vapors, or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders). Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Observe all notices and signs where these hazards might exist.

Navigation; Assumption of risk

Your phone can access mapping and navigation services. Maps and navigation depend on a working data connection and location services, and may not be available at all times or in all areas. Maps and directions may be inaccurate and actual conditions may differ from the map, data, traffic, directions, content, and other results, so exercise your independent judgment and common sense, and use mapping and navigation services at your own risk. Carefully review directions, and follow all applicable traffic laws and signs. You’re responsible at all times for your conduct and its consequences. Navigation with AR requires up to date Google Street View imagery and bright outdoor light, and isn't available in India.

Distraction

Using your phone when performing certain activities can distract you and may cause a dangerous situation for you or others. To reduce the risk of accidents (and because it’s prohibited by law in many places), don't use your phone while driving, bicycling or while operating machinery, and don't use it while engaging in any activities that have potentially serious consequences. Follow local laws about using mobile devices, headphones and helmets.

Radio frequency exposure

This device has been evaluated and meets the applicable regulatory requirements for exposure to radio waves and is designed and manufactured not to exceed the applicable emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy.

In countries where the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) limit is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue, the highest SAR values for the Pixel 4a are 1.18 W/kg when used against head with no separation and 1.19 W/kg against body with 1.0 cm (0.4 in) separation. In the countries where the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) limit is 2.0 W/kg averaged over ten grams of tissue, the highest SAR values for the Pixel 4a are 1.37 W/kg when used against head with no separation and 1.39 W/kg against body with 5 mm (0.2 in) separation.

You can find the SAR values applicable to each of those jurisdictions on your phone: Settings and then About phone and then Regulatory labels.

To reduce exposure to RF energy, use a hands-free option, such as the built-in speakerphone, the supplied headphones, or other similar accessories. Ensure that the device accessories, such as a device case and device holster, are not composed of metal components. Keep the device away from your body to meet the distance requirement.

Like any other phone, your wireless device emits radio frequency energy (RF) during use. According to the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), the critical effect of RF exposure relevant to human health and safety is heating of exposed tissue.

According to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), “Some health and safety interest groups have interpreted certain reports to suggest that wireless device use may be linked to cancer and other illnesses, posing potentially greater risks for children than adults. While these assertions have gained increased public attention, currently no scientific evidence establishes a causal link between wireless device use and cancer or other illnesses.”

However, above a certain level (referred to as the threshold) depending on the duration of exposure, RF exposure and the accompanying temperature rise can provoke serious health effects, such as heatstroke and tissue damage (burns). To avoid hazards to health deriving from high RF exposure, limits are set in relation to the threshold known to show adverse effects, with an additional reduction factor to take care of scientific uncertainties. These limits are generally expressed in terms of the specific absorption rate (SAR). SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy in the body. Tests for SAR are conducted with the phone transmitting at its highest power level in all tested frequency bands. SAR were first established in 1996 by the FCC in the USA and they were then adopted elsewhere.

You can find additional information about SAR at the following pages:

Radio frequency interference

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information

Your phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It complies with the international guidelines in relation to the limiting of human exposure to electromagnetic fields, and has been specifically designed to meet the guidelines for exposure to radio waves established by the Department of Telecommunications, Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, Government of India ("DoT"). The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate ("SAR") which is a unit of body-absorbed radio frequency quantity when the phone is in use. The SAR limit in India for mobile devices is 1.6 W/kg over a mass of 1 gram of human tissue.

Pixel 4a complies with these guidelines when used near your ear or at a distance of 1.0 cm from your body and when used near your ear or at a distance of 1.0 cm from your body. Ensure that the device accessories, such as a device case and device holster, are not composed of metal components. Keep the device away from your body to meet the distance requirement. For Pixel 4a, the highest Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) value reported for this device type when tested at the ear is 0.99 W/kg, and when properly worn on the body is 1.19 W/kg.

You can also see SAR values on the website of the DoT/ Telecommunication Engineering Centre.

While most of the laboratory studies have been unable to find a direct link between exposure to radio frequency radiation and health, the DoT has prescribed the following precautionary measures while using the mobile handset:

Use a wireless hands-free system (headphone, headset) with a lower power Bluetooth emitter.
Make sure the cell phone has a low SAR. Keep your calls short or send a text message (SMS) instead. This advice applies especially to children, adolescents, and pregnant women.
Use a cell phone when the signal quality is good. People having active medical implants should preferably keep the cell phone at least 15 cm away from the implant.
