Charging the iPod Battery

You can charge the iPod battery in two ways:

ÂConnect iPod to your computer.

ÂUse the iPod USB Power Adapter, available separately.

To charge the battery using your computer:

mConnect iPod to a high-power USB port on your computer. The computer must be turned on and not in sleep mode (some models of Macintosh can charge iPod while in sleep mode).

If the battery icon on the iPod screen shows a lightning bolt, the battery is charging. If it shows a plug, the battery is fully charged.

If you don’t see the lightning bolt or the plug, iPod might not be connected to a high-power USB port. Try another USB port on your computer.

Important: If iPod is very low on power, it might need to charge for up to 30 minutes before the display turns on.

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

To charge the battery using the iPod USB Power Adapter:

1Connect 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.
