Eject iPod nano:

mm In iTunes, choose Controls > Eject Disk, or click the Eject button next to iPod nano. mm If you’re using a Mac, you can drag the iPod nano icon on the desktop to the Trash.

About the battery

WARNING: For important safety information about the battery and charging iPod nano, see Important safety information on page 61.

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 shows that the battery is fully charged.

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, listening to the radio, or viewing a slideshow, it might take longer.
