To

Do This

Avoid hearing damage

Set your iPod nano volume to a safe level. If you experience ringing

 

in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use of your iPod

 

nano. For information on how to set a maximum volume limit on

 

iPod nano, see “Setting the Maximum Volume Limit” on page 26.

 

Warning: Permanent hearing loss may occur if earbuds or

 

headphones are used at high volume. 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:

 

Â

Limit the amount of time you use earbuds or headphones at

 

 

high volume.

 

Â

Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.

 

Â

Turn the volume down if you can't hear people speaking

 

 

near you.

 

 

Use connectors and ports

Never force a connector into a port. If the connector and port do

properly

not 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.

Reduce the chance of shock or injury

Keep your iPod nano away from sources of liquids, such as rain, drinks, or washbasins. Take care not to spill any food or liquid on your iPod nano. In case of a spill, unplug your iPod nano before cleaning up. After a spill, you might need to send your equipment to an authorized service provider.

 

Warning: Do not use your iPod nano in or near water or wet

 

locations.

 

 

Repair your iPod nano

For service, see “Learning More, Service, and Support” on page 54.

 

Warning: Do not make repairs yourself. Do not attempt to open

 

your iPod nano, disassemble it, or remove the battery. You run the

 

risk of electric shock and voiding the limited warranty. No user-

 

serviceable parts are inside.

Keep the outside of your iPod nano clean

Make sure your iPod nano is unplugged. Use a damp, soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don’t use aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, or abrasives.

Keep your iPod nano within acceptable temperatures

Operate your iPod nano in a place where the temperature is always between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F). iPod nano play time might temporarily shorten in low-temperature conditions.

Store your iPod nano in a place where the temperature is always between –20º and 45º C (–4º to 113º F). Don’t leave iPod nano in your car, because temperatures in parked cars can exceed this range.

Note: When you’re using your iPod nano or charging the battery, it is normal for the bottom of the case to get warm. The bottom of the iPod nano case functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the unit to the cooler air outside.
