Charging the Battery

iPod shuffle has an internal battery that is rechargeable and not user-replaceable. For best results, the first time you use iPod shuffle, let it charge for about three hours to fully charge it. The battery is 80-percent charged in about two hours and fully charged in about three hours. If iPod shuffle isnt used for a while, the battery might need to be recharged.

You can sync music while the battery is charging. You can disconnect and use iPod shuffle before its fully charged.

In iTunes, the battery icon next to your iPod shuffle name shows the battery status. The icon displays a lightning bolt when the battery is charging and a plug when the battery is fully charged.

You can charge the iPod shuffle battery in two ways:

Use the Apple USB Power Adapter, available separately.

To charge the battery using your computer: m

Connect iPod shuffle to a high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer using the included USB cable. The computer must be turned on and not in sleep mode.

When the battery is charging, the status light on iPod shuffle is solid orange. When the battery is fully charged, the status light turns green.

If iPod shuffle is being used as an external disk or is syncing with iTunes, the status light blinks orange to let you know that you must eject iPod shuffle before disconnecting it. In this case, your battery may be either still charging or fully charged. You can check the status by viewing the battery icon next to your iPod shuffle name in the list of devices in iTunes.

If you dont see the status light, iPod shuffle might not be connected to a high-power USB 2.0 port. Try another USB 2.0 port on your computer.

If you want to charge the battery when youre away from your computer, you can connect iPod shuffle to an Apple USB Power Adapter. To purchase iPod shuffle accessories, go to www.apple.com/ipodstore.

To charge the battery using the Apple USB Power Adapter: 1

Connect the AC plug adapter to the power adapter (they might already be connected).

match the songs and other items in your iTunes library. You can sync all songs and playlists or selected playlists. Any other songs on iPod shuffle are deleted. See the following section for more information.

16 Chapter 3 Setting Up iPod shuffle

Manually add music to iPod shuffle: When you connect iPod shuffle, you can drag songs and playlists individually to iPod shuffle, and delete songs and playlists individually from iPod shuffle.

Syncing Music Automatically By default, iPod shuffle is set to sync all songs and playlists when you connect it to your computer. This is the simplest way to add music to iPod shuffle. You just connect iPod shuffle to your computer, let it add songs, audiobooks, and audio podcasts automatically, and then disconnect it and go.

To sync music with iPod shuffle: m Simply connect iPod shuffle to your computer. If iPod shuffle is set to sync

automatically, the update begins.

Important: The first time you connect iPod shuffle to a computer, a message asks if you want to sync songs automatically.

If you dont accept, you can still add songs to iPod shuffle manually without erasing any of the songs already on iPod shuffle.

While music is being synced from your computer to iPod shuffle, the iTunes status window shows progress, and you see a sync icon next to iPod shuffle in the list of devices. When the update is done, a message in iTunes says iPod update is complete.

5 Click Apply.

The update begins automatically.

If Sync only checked songs is selected in the Summary pane, iTunes syncs only items that are checked in your Music and other libraries.

Syncing Podcasts Automatically The settings for adding podcasts to iPod shuffle are unrelated to the settings for adding songs. Podcast settings dont affect song settings, and vice versa.

installed. Reinstall iTunes software from the latest version on the web. Restore iPod shuffle. See Updating and Restoring iPod shuffle Software on

page 31.

Chapter 6 Tips and Troubleshooting 29

If iPod shuffle isnt playing music iPod shuffle might not have any music on it. If you hear the message Please use

iTunes to sync music, connect iPod shuffle to your computer to sync music to it. Slide the three-way switch off and then on again. Make sure the earphone or headphone connector is pushed in all the way. Make sure the volume is adjusted properly. A volume limit might be set. See Setting

a Volume Limit on page 25. iPod shuffle might be paused. Try clicking the Center button on the earphone

remote.

If you connect iPod shuffle to your computer and nothing happens Connect iPod shuffle to a high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer. Your

iPod shuffle battery may need to be recharged. Make sure youve installed the latest iTunes software from

www.apple.com/ipod/start. Try connecting the USB cable to a different USB 2.0 port on your computer. Make

sure the USB cable is firmly connected toiPod shuffle and to the computer. Make sure the USB connector is oriented correctly. It can be inserted only one way.

iPod shuffle might need to be reset. Turn iPod shuffle off, wait 10 seconds, and then turn it back on again.

If iPod shuffle doesnt appear in iTunes or the Finder, the battery may be completely discharged. Let iPod shuffle charge for several minutes to see if it comes back to life.

Make sure you have the required computer and software. See If you want to double- check the system requirements on page 30.

Try restarting your computer. You might need to restore iPod software. See Updating and Restoring iPod shuffle

Software on page 31. iPod shuffle may need to be repaired. You can arrange for service on the iPod shuffle

Service & Support website at www.apple.com/support/ipodshuffle/service.

If you cant sync a song or other item onto iPod shuffle The song might have been encoded in a format that iPod shuffle doesnt support. The following audio file formats are supported by iPod shuffle. These include formats for audiobooks and podcasts: AAC (M4A, M4B, M4P) (up to 320 kbps) Apple Lossless (a high-quality compressed format) MP3 (up to 320 kbps) MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR) WAV AA (audible.com spoken word, formats 2, 3, and 4) AIFF

30 Chapter 6 Tips and Troubleshooting

A song encoded using Apple Lossless format has near 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, its converted to AAC format by default.

You can have iPod shuffle automatically convert files encoded at higher bit rates to 128 kbps AAC files as theyre synced with iPod shuffle. See Fitting More Songs onto iPod shuffle on page 19.

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

iPod shuffle doesnt support WMA, MPEG Layer 1, MPEG Layer 2 audio files, or audible.com format 1.

If you have a song in iTunes that isnt supported by iPod shuffle, you can convert it to a format iPod shuffle supports. For more information, see iTunes Help.

If your podcasts or audiobooks dont play correctly Make sure the three-way switch on iPod shuffle is set to play in order (). If a

playlist includes mixed tracks (songs, podcasts, and audiobooks, for example), audiobooks and podcasts wont play if iPod shuffle is set to shuffle ().

If the chapters of an audiobook were added to iPod shuffle out of order, connect iPod shuffle to your computer and rearrange the tracks using iTunes.

If you want to double-check the system requirements To use iPod shuffle, you must have: One of the following computer configurations:

A Macintosh with a USB 2.0 port A Windows PC with a USB 2.0 port or a USB 2.0 card installed

7 Safety and Handling

This chapter contains important safety and handling information for iPod shuffle.

Keep this user guide for your iPod shuffle handy for future reference.

Important Safety Information

Handling iPod shuffle Do not drop, dissemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred, microwave, incinerate, paint, or insert foreign objects into iPod shuffle.

Avoiding water and wet locations Do not use iPod shuffle in rain, or near washbasins or other wet locations. Take care not to spill any food or liquid on iPod shuffle. In case iPod shuffle gets wet, unplug all cables, turn off iPod shuffle (slide the three-way switch to OFF) before cleaning, and allow it to dry thoroughly before turning it on again. Do not attempt to dry iPod shuffle with an external heat source, such as a microwave oven or hair dryer.

Repairing iPod shuffle Never attempt to repair or modify iPod shuffle yourself. iPod shuffle doesnt contain any user-serviceable parts. If iPod shuffle has been submerged in water, punctured, or subjected to a severe fall, do not use it until you take it to an Apple Authorized Service Provider. For service information, choose iPod Help from the Help menu in iTunes or go to www.apple.com/support/ipod/service. The rechargeable battery in iPod shuffle should be replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider. For more information about batteries, go to www.apple.com/batteries.

Read all safety information below and operating instructions before using iPod shuffle to avoid injury.

WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock, or other injury or damage.

Chapter 7 Safety and Handling 33

Using the Apple USB Power Adapter (available separately) If you use the Apple USB Power Adapter (sold separately at www.apple.com/ipodstore) to charge iPod shuffle, 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 your iPod shuffle.

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, liquids, 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 earbuds or headphones 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 earbuds or headphones at high volume. Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings. Turn the volume down if you cant hear people speaking near you.

For information about how to set a volume limit on iPod shuffle, see Setting a Volume Limit on page 25.

Driving safely Use of iPod shuffle alone, or with earphones (even if used in only one ear) while operating a vehicle is not recommended and is illegal in some areas. Be careful and attentive while driving. Stop using iPod shuffle if you find it disruptive or distracting while operating any type of vehicle, or performing any other activity that requires your full attention.

34 Chapter 7 Safety and Handling

Important Handling Information

Carrying iPod shuffle iPod shuffle contains sensitive components. Do not bend, drop, or crush iPod shuffle.

Using connectors and ports Never force a connector into a port. Check for obstructions on the port. If the connector and port dont join with reasonable ease, they probably dont match. Make sure that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.

Keeping iPod shuffle within acceptable temperatures Operate iPod shuffle in a place where the temperature is always between 32 and 95 F (0 and 35 C). iPod shuffle play time might temporarily shorten in low-temperature conditions.

Store iPod shuffle in a place where the temperature is always between -4 and 113 F (-20 and 45 C). Dont leave iPod shuffle in your car, because temperatures in parked cars can exceed this range.

When youre using iPod shuffle or charging the battery, its normal for iPod shuffle to get warm. The exterior of iPod shuffle functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the unit to the cooler air outside.

Keeping the outside of iPod shuffle clean To clean iPod shuffle, unplug all cables, turn it off (slide the three-way switch to OFF), and use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Dont use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean iPod shuffle.

Disposing of iPod shuffle properly For information about the proper disposal of iPod shuffle, including other important regulatory compliance information, see Regulatory Compliance Information on page 36.

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