Important: Be sure to connect iPod mini to a high-power USB 2.0 port directly on your computer, or to a powered USB 2.0 hub that’s connected to your computer. iPod mini won’t work if it’s connected to a low-power USB 2.0 port, such as those sometimes found on keyboards or other peripherals.

If the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the iPod mini screen shows a lightning bolt, iPod mini is connected to a high-power USB 2.0 port and the battery is charging (see page 42 for more information).

If you’re using a portable or laptop computer with a high-power USB 2.0 port, connect the computer to a power outlet before connecting iPod mini for best results.

If your computer doesn’t have a high-power USB 2.0 port, but has a 6-pin FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394) port, you can connect iPod mini using the optional iPod Dock Connector to FireWire Cable, available at www.ipod.com/store.

If your Windows PC doesn’t have a high-power USB 2.0 port or a 6-pin FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394) port, you can purchase and install a USB 2.0 card or a FireWire card.

For more information on cables and compatible USB and FireWire cards, go to www.apple.com/ipod.
