Important safety information

WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock, or other injuries, or damage to iPod classic or other property. Read all safety information below before using iPod classic.

Handling Handle iPod classic with care. It is made of metal, glass, and plastic and has sensitive electronic components inside. iPod classic can be damaged if dropped, burned, punctured, or crushed, or if it comes in contact with liquid. Don’t use a damaged iPod classic, such as when the screen is cracked, as it may cause injury. If you’re concerned about scratching, consider using a case.

Repairing Don’t open iPod classic and don’t attempt to repair iPod classic by yourself. Disassembling iPod classic may cause injury to you or damage to iPod classic. If iPod classic is damaged, malfunctions, or comes in contact with liquid, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can find more information about obtaining service at www.apple.com/support/ipodclassic.

Battery Don’t attempt to replace the battery in iPod classic yourself as you may damage the battery, which may cause overheating and injury. The lithium-ion battery in the iPod classic should be replaced only by Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, and must be recycled or disposed of separately from household waste. Don’t incinerate the battery. For information about battery recycling and replacement, go to www.apple.com/batteries.

Distraction Using iPod classic in some circumstances can distract you and may cause a dangerous situation. Observe rules that prohibit or restrict the use of headphones (for example using headphones while riding a bicycle).

Charging Charge iPod classic with the included Apple Dock Connector to USB cable with an Apple USB power adapter or other third party “Made for iPod” cable and power adapters that are compatible with USB 2.0 or 3.0. Using damaged cables or chargers, or charging when moisture is present, can cause electric shock. When you use the Apple USB Power Adapter to charge iPod classic, make sure that the AC plug or AC power cord is fully inserted into the adapter before you plug it into a power outlet. Power adapters may become warm during normal use, and prolonged contact may cause injury. Always allow adequate ventilation around power adapters when using.
