About the iPod nano Battery

iPod nano has an internal, non-user-replaceable battery. For best results, the first time you use iPod nano, let it charge for about three hours or until the battery icon in the status area of the display shows that the battery is fully charged. If iPod nano isn’t used for a while, the battery might need to be charged.

Note: iPod nano continues to use battery power after it’s been turned off.

The iPod nano battery is 80-percent charged in about one and a half hours, and fully charged in about three hours. If you charge iPod nano while adding files, playing music, watching videos, or viewing a slideshow, it might take longer.

Charging the iPod nano Battery

You can charge the iPod nano battery in two ways:

ÂConnect iPod nano to your computer.

ÂUse the Apple USB Power Adapter, available separately.

To charge the battery using your computer:

mConnect iPod nano to a USB 2.0 port on your computer. The computer must be turned on and not in sleep mode.

If the battery icon on the iPod nano screen shows the Charging screen, the battery is charging. If it shows the Charged screen, the battery is fully charged.

If you don’t see the Charging screen, iPod nano might not be connected to a high-power USB port. Try another USB port on your computer.

Chapter 1 iPod nano Basics	17

Important: If a “Charging, Please Wait” or “Connect to Power” message appears on the iPod nano screen, the battery needs to be charged before iPod nano can communicate with your computer. See“If iPod nano displays a “Connect to Power” message” on

page 66.

If you want to charge iPod nano when you’re away from your computer, you can purchase the Apple USB Power Adapter.

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).

2Connect the iPod Dock Connector to USB 2.0 cable to the power adapter, and plug the other end of the cable into iPod nano.

3 Plug the power adapter into a working electrical outlet.

Understanding Battery States

When iPod nano isn’t connected to a power source, a battery icon in the top-right corner of the iPod nano screen shows approximately how much charge is left.

Battery less than 20% charged

Battery about halfway charged

Battery fully charged

If iPod nano is connected to a power source, the battery icon changes to show that the battery is charging or fully charged.

Battery charging (lightning bolt)

Battery fully charged (plug)

You can disconnect and use iPod nano before it’s fully charged.

Note: Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and might eventually need to be replaced. Battery life and number of charge cycles vary by use and settings. For information, go to www.apple.com/batteries.

Improving Battery Performance with Energy Saver

Chapter 1 iPod nano Basics	19

Setting Up iPod nano	2

To set up iPod nano, you use iTunes on your computer to import, buy, and organize your music, video, podcasts, audiobooks, games, and other media content. Then you connect iPod nano to your computer and sync it to your iTunes library.

Using iTunes

iTunes is the software application you use with iPod nano. iTunes can sync music, audiobooks, podcasts, and more with iPod nano. When you connect iPod nano to your computer, iTunes opens automatically.

This guide explains how to use iTunes to download songs and other audio and video to your computer, create personal compilations of your favorite songs (called playlists), sync them to iPod nano, and adjust iPod nano settings.

iTunes also has a feature called Genius that creates instant playlists of songs from your iTunes library that go great together. You can sync Genius playlists that you create in iTunes to iPod nano, and you can create Genius playlists on iPod nano. To use Genius, you need iTunes 8.0 or later and an iTunes Store account.

iTunes has many other features. You can burn your own CDs that play in standard CD players (if your computer has a recordable CD drive); listen to streaming Internet radio; watch videos and TV shows; rate songs according to preference; and much more.

For information about using these iTunes features, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.

If you already have iTunes 8.0 installed on your computer and you’ve set up your iTunes library, you can skip ahead to the next section,“Syncing iPod nano.”To learn how to set up Genius in iTunes, see “Using Genius in iTunes” on page 25.
