Important Safety Information

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

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

Avoiding Water and Wet Locations  Do not use iPod touch in rain, or near washbasins or other wet locations. Take care not to spill any food or liquid on iPod touch. In case iPod touch gets wet, unplug all cables, turn off iPod touch (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, and then slide the onscreen slider) before cleaning, and allow it to dry thoroughly before turning it on again. Do not attempt to dry iPod touch with an external heat source, such as a microwave oven or hair dryer. An iPod touch that has been damaged as a result of exposure to liquids is not serviceable.

Repairing or Modifying iPod touch  Never attempt to repair or modify iPod touch by yourself. iPod touch does not contain any user-serviceable parts. If iPod touch 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/ipodtouch. The rechargeable battery in iPod touch should be replaced only by an Apple authorized service provider. For more information about batteries, go to:  

www.apple.com/batteries

Charging iPod touch  To charge iPod touch, only use the included 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 standard; another Apple-branded product or accessory designed to work with iPod touch; or a third-party accessory certified to use Apple’s“Made for iPod”logo.

Read all safety instructions for any products and accessories before using with iPod touch. 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 iPod touch, 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.

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:

ÂÂ The power cord or plug has become frayed or damaged.

ÂÂ The adapter is exposed to rain, liquid, or excessive moisture. ÂÂ The adapter case has become damaged.

ÂÂ You suspect the adapter needs service or repair. ÂÂ You want to clean the adapter.

Avoiding Hearing Damage  Permanent hearing loss may occur if the internal speaker, 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:

ÂÂ Limit the amount of time you use the internal speaker, earbuds, or headphones at high volume. ÂÂ Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.

ÂÂ Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.

For information about how to set a maximum volume limit on iPod touch, see the iPod touch User Guide.

Driving and Riding Safely  Use of iPod touch alone, or with headphones (even if used only in one ear) while operating 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 iPod touch in areas where you drive or ride. Be careful and attentive while driving or riding a bicycle. Stop using iPod touch if you find it disruptive or distracting while operating any type of vehicle, or performing any activity that requires your full attention.

Navigating Safely  If your iPod touch has applications that provide maps, directions or locationbased navigation assistance, these applications should only be used for basic navigation assistance and should not be relied on to determine precise locations, proximity, distance or direction.

Maps, directions and location-based applications provided by Apple depend on data collected and services provided by third parties. These data services are subject to change and may not be available in all geographic areas, resulting in maps, directions or location-based information that may be unavailable, inaccurate or incomplete. See www.apple.com/ipodtouch for more information. Compare the information provided on iPod touch to your surroundings and defer to posted signs to resolve any discrepancies.

Do not use location-based applications while performing activities that require your full attention. For important information about driving safety, see the previous section. Always comply with posted signs and the laws and regulations in the areas where you are using iPod touch.

Seizures, Blackouts, and Eyestrain  A small percentage of people may be susceptible to blackouts or seizures (even if they have never had one before) when exposed to flashing lights or light patterns such as when playing games or watching video. If you have experienced seizures or blackouts or have a family history of such occurrences, you should consult a physician before playing games (if available) or watching videos on your iPod touch. Discontinue use and consult a physician if you experience headaches, blackouts, seizures, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching,

loss of awareness, involuntary movement, or disorientation. To reduce risk of headaches, blackouts, seizures, and eyestrain, avoid prolonged use, hold iPod touch some distance from your eyes, use iPod touch in a well lit room and take frequent breaks.

Glass Parts  The outside cover of the iPod touch screen is made of glass. This glass could break if iPod touch 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 iPod touch until the glass is replaced by an Apple authorized service provider. Glass cracked due to misuse or abuse is not covered under the warranty.

Repetitive Motion  When you perform repetitive activities such as typing or playing games on iPod touch, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. Take frequent breaks and if you have discomfort during or after such use, stop use and see a physician.

For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag  An air bag inflates with great force. Do not store

iPod touch or any of its accessories in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy  iPod touch contains radio transmitters and receivers.

When on, iPod touch receives and sends out radio frequency (RF) energy through its antenna.The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® antenna is located near the back upper left corner of iPod touch as you hold the end containing the dock connector facing down. iPod touch is designed and manufactured to comply with the limits for exposure to RF energy set by the Federal Communications Commission

(FCC) of the United States, Industry Canada (IC) of Canada, and regulating entities of Japan, the

European Union, and other countries. The exposure standard employs a unit of measurement known as the specific absorption rate, or SAR.

iPod touch has been tested as a body-worn device, and meets the SAR exposure requirements for

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth operation.

If you are still concerned about exposure to RF energy, you can limit your exposure by limiting the amount of time using iPod touch in wireless mode, since time is a factor in how much

exposure a person receives, and by placing more distance between your body and iPod touch, since exposure level drops off dramatically with distance.

Additional Information  For more information from the US FCC about exposure to RF energy, see:  www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety

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  Radio-frequency emissions from electronic equipment can negatively affect the operation of other electronic equipment causing them to malfunction.

Although iPod touch is designed, tested, and manufactured to comply with regulations governing radio frequency emission in the United States, Canada, Japan, the European Union, and other countries, the wireless transmitters and electrical circuits in iPod touch may cause interference in other electronic equipment. Therefore, please take the following precautions:

Aircraft  Use of iPod touch may be prohibited while traveling in aircraft. For information about how to turn off the iPod touch wireless transmitters, see the iPod touch User Guide.

Vehicles  Radio frequency emissions from iPod touch may affect electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle.

Pacemakers  To avoid potential interference with pacemakers, persons with pacemakers:

ÂÂ Should always keep iPod touch more than 15 cm (6 inches) from their pacemaker when the device is turned on

ÂÂ Should not carry iPod touch in a breast pocket

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

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 radio frequency emissions from iPod touch.

Health Care Facilities  Hospitals and health care facilities may use equipment that is particularly sensitive to external radio frequency emissions.Turn iPod touch off when staff or posted signs instruct you to do so.

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

Important Handling Information

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

Carrying and Handling iPod touch  iPod touch contains sensitive components. Do not bend, drop, or crush iPod touch. If you are concerned about scratching iPod touch, 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.
