Locking Your iPod nano Screen

You can set a combination to prevent your iPod nano from being used by someone without your permission. When you lock an iPod nano that is not connected to a computer, you must enter a combination to unlock and use it.

Note: This is different from the Hold button in that the Hold button prevents iPod nano from turning on accidentally. The combination prevents another person from viewing your iPod nano screen.
