WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock, injury, or damage to iPod nano or other property. Read all the safety information below before using iPod nano.

Important safety information Handling Handle iPod nano with care. It is made of metal, glass, and plastic and has sensitive electronic components inside. iPod nano can be damaged if dropped, burned, punctured, or crushed, or if it comes in contact with liquid. Dont use a damaged iPod nano, such as when the screen is cracked, as it may cause injury. If youre concerned about scratching, consider using a case.

Repairing Dont open iPod nano and dont attempt to repair iPod nano yourself. Disassembling iPod nano may damage it or may cause injury to you. If iPod nano is damaged, malfunctions or comes in contact with liquid, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can find more information about getting service at www.apple.com/support/ipod.

Battery Dont attempt to replace the battery in iPod nano yourself as you may damage the battery which could cause overheating and injury. The lithium-ion battery in iPod nano should be replaced only by Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, and must be recycled or disposed of separately from household waste. Dont incinerate the battery. For information about battery service and recycling, see www.apple.com/batteries/service-and-recycling.

Distraction Using iPod nano in some circumstances can distract you and may cause a dangerous situation (for example, using headphones while riding a bicycle). Observe rules that prohibit or restrict the use of headphones.

Charging Charge iPod nano with the included cable and optional power adapter or other third- party Made for iPod cable and power adapters that are compatible with USB 2.0 or later. Using damaged cables or chargers, or charging when moisture is present, can cause, fire, electric shock, injury, or damage to iPod nano or other property. When you use the Apple Lightning to USB Cable to charge iPod nano, make sure that the AC plug or AC power cord is fully inserted into the adapter before you plug it 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. Situations such as sleeping or sitting on the Lightning connector should be avoided.

Chapter 14 Safety and Handling 62

Prolonged heat exposure iPod nano 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 its operating or plugged into a power source for long periods of time. For example, dont sleep on a device or power adapter, or place them under a blanket, pillow, or your body, when its plugged into a power source. Its important to keep iPod nano and its power adapter in a well-ventilated area when in use or charging. Take special care if you have a physical condition that affects your ability to detect heat against the body.

WARNING: To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods.

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 iPod nano, see Set the maximum volume limit on page 25.

To avoid hearing damage, use only compatible receivers, earbuds, headphones, speakerphones, or earpieces with your iPod nano.

The headsets sold with iPhone 4s or later in China (identifiable 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.

Radio frequency exposure iPod nano has been tested and meets applicable limits for radio frequency (RF) exposure.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) refers to the rate at which the body absorbs RF energy. The SAR limit is 1.6 watts per kilogram in countries that set the limit averaged over 1 gram of tissue and 2.0 watts per kilogram in countries that set the limit averaged over 10 grams of tissue. During testing, iPod radios are set to their highest transmission levels and placed in positions that simulate use against the body. Cases with metal parts may change the RF performance of the device, including its compliance with RF exposure guidelines, in a manner that has not been tested or certified.

Radio frequency interference Observe signs and notices that prohibit or restrict the use of electronic devices (for example, in health care facilities or blasting areas). Although iPod nano is designed, tested, and manufactured to comply with regulations governing radio frequency emissions, such emissions from iPod nano can negatively affect the operation of other electronic equipment, causing them to malfunction. Turn off iPod nano or turn off Bluetooth when use is prohibited, such as while traveling in aircraft, or when asked to do so by authorities.

Medical device interference iPod nano contains components and radios that emit electromagnetic fields. The included headphones also have magnets in the earbuds. These electromagnetic fields and magnets may interfere with pacemakers, defibrillators, or other medical devices. Maintain a safe distance of separation between your medical device and iPod nano and the earbuds. Consult your physician and medical device manufacturer for information specific to your medical device. If you suspect iPod nano is interfering with your pacemaker or any other medical device, stop using iPod nano.

Medical conditions If you have any medical condition that you believe could be affected by iPod nano (for example, seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with your physician prior to using iPod nano.

Chapter 14 Safety and Handling 63

Explosive atmospheres Do not charge or use iPod nano in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, such as at a fueling area, or in areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust or metal powders). Obey all signs and instructions.

Repetitive motion When you perform repetitive activities on iPod nano, you may experience discomfort in your hands, arms, wrists, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. If you experience discomfort, stop using iPod nano 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 iPod nano accessories may present a choking hazard to small children. Keep these accessories away from small children.

Important handling information Using connectors and ports Never force a connector into a port or apply excessive pressure to a button because this may cause damage that is not covered under warranty. If the connector and port dont join with reasonable ease, they probably dont 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 to USB Cable or connector become warm during use or iPod nano wont 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 iPod nano is designed to work in ambient temperatures between 32 and 95 F (0 to 35 C) and stored in temperatures between -4 to 113 F (-20 and 45 C). iPod nano can be damaged and battery life shortened if stored or operated outside of these temperature ranges. Avoid exposing iPod nano to dramatic changes in temperature or humidity. When youre using iPod nano or charging the battery, it is normal for iPod nano to get warm. The exterior of iPod nano functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the unit to the cooler air outside.

Charging Charge iPod nano with the included Lightning to USB Cable, or with other third- party Made for iPod 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 device power adapter interoperability standard. 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 find out if your micro USB power adapter complies with these standards.

Using damaged cables or chargers, or charging when moisture is present, can cause fire, electric shock, injury, or damage to iPod nano or other property. When you use the Apple USB Power Adapter to charge iPod nano, make sure that the AC plug or AC power cord is fully inserted into the adapter before you plug it into a power outlet.

Chapter 14 Safety and Handling 64
