B 12 9 Safety, Handling, & Support Important safety information WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock, or other injuries, or damage to iPod touch or other property. Read all the safety information below before using iPod touch. Handling Handle iPod touch with care. It is made of metal, glass, and plastic and has sensitive electronic components inside. iPod touch can be damaged if dropped, burned, punctured, or crushed, or if it comes in contact with liquid. Don’t use a damaged iPod touch, such as one with a cracked screen, as it may cause injury. If you’re concerned about scratching, consider using a case. Repairing Don’t open iPod touch and don’t attempt to repair iPod touch by yourself. Disassembling iPod touch may cause injury to you or damage to iPod touch. If iPod touch is damaged, malfunctions, or comes in contact with liquid, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can find more information about getting service at www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq . Battery Don’t attempt to replace the iPod touch battery yourself—you may damage the battery, which could cause overheating and injury. The lithium-ion battery in iPod touch 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 touch in some circumstances can distract you and may cause a dangerous situation. Observe rules that prohibit or restrict the use of mobile devices or headphones (for example, avoid texting while driving a car or using headphones while riding a bicycle). Navigation Maps, directions, Flyover, and location-based apps depend on data services. These data services are subject to change and may not be available in all areas, resulting in maps, directions, Flyover, or location-based information that may be unavailable, inaccurate, or incomplete. Compare the information provided on iPod touch to your surroundings, and defer to posted signs to resolve any discrepancies. Some Maps features require Location Services. See Privacy on page 12 6 . Use common sense when navigating. Charging Charge iPod touch with the included cable and power adapter or other third-party “Made for iPod” cables and power adapters that are compatible with USB 2.0. 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 touch, 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 them. Appendix
Appendix B Safety, Handling, & Support 13 0 Hearing loss Listening to sound at high volumes may damage your hearing. Background noise, as well as continued exposure to high volume levels, can make sounds seem quieter than they actually are. Use only compatible receivers, earbuds, headphones, speakerphones, or earpieces with your device. Turn on the audio and check the volume before inserting anything in your ear. For more information about hearing loss, see www.apple.com/sound . For information about how to set a maximum volume limit on iPod touch, see Music settings on page 46 . WARNING: To pre vent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods. Apple headsets The headsets sold with iPhone 4S or later in China (identifiable by dark insulating rings on the plug) are designed to comply with Chinese standards and are compatible with iPhone 4S or later, iPad 2 or later, and iPod touch 5th generation. Use only compatible headsets with your device. Radio signals iPod touch uses radio signals to connect to wireless networks. For information about the amount of power used to transmit these signals, and about steps you can take to minimize exposure, see Settings > General > About > Legal > RF Exposure. Radio frequency interference Observe signs and notices that prohibit or restrict the use of electronic devices (for example, in healthcare facilities or blasting areas). Although iPod touch is designed, tested, and manufactured to comply with regulations governing radio frequency emissions, such emissions from iPod touch can negatively affect the operation of other electronic equipment, causing them to malfunction. Turn off iPod touch or use Airplane Mode to turn off the iPod touch wireless transmitters when use is prohibited, such as while traveling in aircraft, or when asked to do so by authorities. Medical devices iPod touch contains radios that emit electromagnetic fields. These electromagnetic fields may interfere with pacemakers or other medical devices. If you wear a pacemaker, maintain at least 6 inches (approximately 15 cm) of separation between your pacemaker and iPod touch. If you suspect iPod touch is interfering with your pacemaker or any other medical device, stop using iPod touch and consult your physician for information specific to your medical device. iPod touch has magnets near the bottom, and the included headphones also have magnets in the earbuds, which may interfere with pacemakers, defibrillators or other medical devices. Maintain at least 6 inches (approximately 15 cm) of separation between your pacemaker or defibrillator and iPod touch or the earbuds. Medical conditions If you have any other medical condition that you believe could be affected by iPod touch (for example, seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with your physician prior to using iPod touch. Explosive atmospheres Do not charge or use iPod touch in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, such as at a fueling area, or in areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders). Obey all signs and instructions. Repetitive motion When you perform repetitive activities such as typing or playing games on iPod touch, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, wrists, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. If you experience discomfort, stop using iPod touch and consult a physician. High-consequence activities This device is not intended for use where the failure of the device could lead to death, personal injury, or severe environmental damage.
