Controlling the volume

WARNING: For important information about avoiding hearing loss, see Chapter 14, Safety and Handling, on page 61.

The volume buttons are on the side of iPod nano. Press Volume Up or Volume Down to adjust the volume as you listen.

You can set equalizer presets on iPod nano in Settings > Music. If you assigned an equalizer preset to a song in iTunes and the iPod nano equalizer is set to Off, the song plays using the iTunes setting.

The following sections describe other adjustments you can make to limit the maximum volume and enhance audio quality.

Setting the maximum volume limit

You can set a limit for the maximum volume on iPod nano, and assign a passcode to prevent the setting from being changed without your knowledge. Accessories that connect using the Lightning connector don’t support volume limits.

Set the maximum volume limit for iPod nano:

1On the Home screen, tap Settings > Music > Volume Limit. The volume control shows the maximum volume limit.

2Drag the slider left to lower the maximum volume limit, or right to raise the limit.

Note: In some countries, you can limit the maximum headset volume to the EU recommended level. Tap Settings > Music, then tap the switch in the EU Volume Limit section to turn it on.

Require a passcode to change the volume limit:

1After setting the maximum volume, tap Lock Volume Limit.

2In the screen that appears, tap a four-digit passcode.

If you tap a number by mistake, tap , then tap the number you intended.

You can keep tapping to erase all numbers and return to the Volume Limit screen without setting a passcode.

3When you’re prompted to reenter the passcode, tap the numbers again.
