Trash if you’re using a Mac. If you’re using a Windows PC, eject the device in My Computer or
click the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the system tray and select iPod nano. If you still see the
“Connected” or “Sync in Progress” message, restart your computer and eject iPod nano again.
If iPod nano isn’t playing music
m Make sure the volume is adjusted properly. A maximum volume limit might be set. You can
change or remove it in Settings. See Setting the maximum volume limit on page 25.
m Make sure you’re using iTunes 10.7 or later (available at www.itunes.com/downloads). Songs

you upgrade iTunes.
If you connect iPod nano to your computer and nothing happens
m Make sure you installed the latest iTunes software from www.itunes.com/downloads.
m Try connecting to a dierent USB port on your computer.
Note: Your computer needs a USB 2.0 port or a USB 3.0 port to connect iPod nano. If you have
a Windows PC that doesn’t have a USB 2.0 port, in some cases you can purchase and install a
USB 2.0 card.
m If iPod nano is connected to a USB hub, try connecting iPod nano directly to a high power
USB 2.0 port or USB 3.0 port on your computer.
m iPod nano might need to be reset (see page 56).
m If you’re connecting iPod nano to a portable computer using the Lightning to USB Cable,
connect the computer to a power outlet before connecting iPod nano.

arrange for service at the iPod Service & Support website at www.apple.com/support/ipod.
If you can’t add a song or other item to iPod nano
m The song may be in a format that iPod nano doesn’t support. The following audio le formats are
supported by iPod nano. These include formats for audiobooks and podcasting:

AA (audible.com spoken word, formats 2, 3, and 4)
•
AIFF
A song encoded using Apple Lossless format has 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, it’s
converted to AAC format by default.
If you have a song in iTunes that isn’t supported by iPod nano, you can convert it to a format
iPod nano supports. For more information, see iTunes Help.
Using iTunes for Windows, you can convert nonprotected WMA les to AAC or MP3 format. This
can be useful if you have a library of music encoded in WMA format.

replacement, go to www.apple.com/batteries. Don’t incinerate the battery.
Distraction Using iPod nano in some circumstances can distract you and may cause a
dangerous situation. Observe rules that prohibit or restrict the use of headphones (for example,
using headphones while riding a bicycle).
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. Using
damaged cables or chargers, or charging when moisture is present, can cause electric shock.
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.
Power adapters may become warm during normal use and prolonged contact may cause injury.
Always allow adequate ventilation around power adapters when using.

Hearing loss Listening to sound at high volumes may damage your hearing. To prevent possible
hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods. Background noise, as well
as continued exposure to high volume levels, can make sounds seem quieter than they actually
are. Use only compatible receivers, earbuds, headphones, speakerphones, or earpieces with your
device. Turn on the audio 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 Setting the maximum volume limit on page 25.
RF exposure iPod nano uses radio signals to connect to Bluetooth capable devices. Specic
Absorption Rate (SAR) refers to the rate at which the body absorbs RF energy. SAR limits are
1.6 Watts per Kilogram (over a volume containing a mass of 1 gram of tissue) in countries that
follow the United States FCC limit and 2.0 W/Kg (averaged over 10 grams of tissue) in countries
that follow the Council of the European Union limit. During testing, iPod nano Bluetooth radios
are set to their highest transmission levels and placed in positions that simulate use against the
body. Avoid cases with metal parts.
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 aect the operation of other electronic
equipment, causing them to malfunction. Turn o iPod nano or turn o Bluetooth when use is
prohibited, such as while traveling in aircraft, or when asked to do so by authorities.
Medical devices iPod nano contains a radio that emits electromagnetic elds. These
electromagnetic elds may interfere with pacemakers or other medical devices. If you wear
a pacemaker, maintain at least 6 inches (approximately 15 cm) of separation between your
pacemaker and the iPod nano. If you suspect iPod nano is interfering with your pacemaker
or any other medical device, stop using iPod nano and consult your physician for information
specic to your medical device. The included headphones have magnets in the earbuds, which
may interfere with pacemakers, debrillators or other medical devices. Maintain at least 6 inches
(approximately 15 cm) of separation between your pacemaker or debrillator and the earbuds.
Medical conditions If you have any medical condition that you believe could be aected by
iPod nano (for example, seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with your physician
prior to using iPod nano.
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
occasional 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.
Chapter 14 Safety and Handling 62
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 don’t join with reasonable ease, they probably don’t 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.
Operating iPod nano in acceptable temperatures iPod nano is designed to be operated in
temperatures between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F) and stored in temperatures between -20º
and 45º C (-4º to 113º F). Low- or high-temperature conditions might temporarily shorten
battery life or cause iPod nano to temporarily stop working properly. Leaving iPod nano in a
parked vehicle or in direct sunlight can cause iPod nano to exceed these storage or operating
temperature ranges. Avoid dramatic changes in temperature or humidity when using iPod nano
as condensation may form on or within iPod nano.
When you’re 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.
Keeping the outside of iPod nano clean Clean iPod nano immediately if it comes into contact
with any contaminants that may cause stains, for example, ink, dyes, makeup, dirt, food, oils, and
lotions. To clean iPod nano, unplug all cables and turn o iPod nano (press and hold the Sleep/
Wake button). Then use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings.
Don't use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or
abrasives to clean iPod nano.
Lightning Cable Discoloration of the Lightning to USB Cable connector after regular use
is normal. Dirt, debris, and exposure to liquids may cause discoloration. To remove the
discoloration, or if the cable becomes warm during use or won’t charge or sync iPod nano,
disconnect the Lightning to USB Cable from your computer or power adapter and clean it with a
soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquids or cleaning products when cleaning the Lightning to
USB Cable connector.
Disposing of iPod nano properly For information about the proper disposal of iPod nano,
including other important regulatory compliance information, see Disposal and recycling
information on page 66.
