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 off 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.
