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.
