Charging the Battery

iPod shuffle has an internal battery that is rechargeable and not user-replaceable. For best results, the first time you use iPod shuffle, let it charge for about three hours to fully charge it. The battery is 80-percent charged in about two hours and fully charged in about three hours. If iPod shuffle isn’t used for a while, the battery might need to be recharged.

You can sync music while the battery is charging. You can disconnect and use iPod shuffle before it’s fully charged.

In iTunes, the battery icon next to your iPod shuffle name shows the battery status. The icon displays a lightning bolt when the battery is charging and a plug when the battery is fully charged.

You can charge the iPod shuffle battery in two ways:

ÂConnect iPod shuffle to your computer.

ÂUse the Apple USB Power Adapter, available separately.

To charge the battery using your computer:

mConnect iPod shuffle to a high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer using the included USB cable. The computer must be turned on and not in sleep mode.

When the battery is charging, the status light on iPod shuffle is solid orange. When the battery is fully charged, the status light turns green.

If iPod shuffle is being used as an external disk or is syncing with iTunes, the status light blinks orange to let you know that you must eject iPod shuffle before disconnecting it. In this case, your battery may be either still charging or fully charged. You can check the status by viewing the battery icon next to your iPod shuffle name in the list of devices in iTunes.

If you don’t see the status light, iPod shuffle might not be connected to a high-power USB 2.0 port. Try another USB 2.0 port on your computer.

If you want to charge the battery when you’re away from your computer, you can connect iPod shuffle to an Apple USB Power Adapter. To purchase iPod shuffle accessories, go to www.apple.com/ipodstore.

To charge the battery using the Apple USB Power Adapter:

1Connect the AC plug adapter to the power adapter (they might already be connected).

2Plug the USB connector of the USB cable into the power adapter.

3Connect the other end of the USB cable to iPod shuffle.
