About the iPod shuffle battery

iPod shuffle has a rechargeable internal battery that should be replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

For best results, the first time you use iPod shuffle, let it fully charge for about three hours. 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.

Connect iPod shuffle to your computer

Use the Apple USB Power Adapter, available separately.

Charge the battery using your computer:

mm Connect iPod shuffle to a high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer using the included iPod shuffle USB cable. The computer must be turned on and not in sleep mode (some Mac models can charge iPod shuffle while in sleep).

When the battery is charging, the status light on iPod shuffle is solid orange. When the battery is fully charged, the status light is green. In iTunes, the battery icon next to the name of your iPod shuffle also shows the battery status. The icon displays a lightning bolt when the battery is charging, and a plug when the battery is fully charged.

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 either be still charging or fully charged.

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, available separately. To purchase iPod shuffle accessories, go to www.apple.com/ipodstore.

Charge the battery using the Apple USB Power Adapter:

1Connect the included iPod shuffle USB cable to the power adapter, and plug the other end into iPod shuffle.

2Plug the power adapter into a working power outlet.
