Chapter 14 Safety and Handling 62
Explosive atmospheres Do not charge or use iPod nano 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.

discomfort in your hands, arms, wrists, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. If you
experience discomfort, stop using iPod nano and consult a physician.

Important handling information
Using connectors and ports Never force a connector into a port or apply excessive pressure to
a button because this may cause damage that is not covered under warranty. If the connector
and port don’t join with reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Check for obstructions and
make sure that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned the connector
correctly in relation to the port.
Lightning to USB Cable Discoloration of the Lightning connector after regular use is normal.
Dirt, debris, and exposure to moisture may cause discoloration. If your Lightning to USB Cable or
connector become warm during use or iPod nano won’t charge or sync, disconnect it from your
computer or power adapter and clean the Lightning connector with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do
not use liquids or cleaning products when cleaning the Lightning connector.
Certain usage patterns can contribute to the fraying or breaking of cables. The Lightning to USB
Cable, like any other metal wire or cable, is subject to becoming weak or brittle if repeatedly bent
in the same spot. Aim for gentle curves instead of angles in the cable. Regularly inspect the cable
and connector for any kinks, breaks, bends, or other damage. Should you find any such damage,
discontinue use of the Lightning to USB Cable.
Operating temperature iPod nano is designed to work in ambient temperatures between
32º and 95º F (0º to 35º C) and stored in temperatures between -4º to 113º F (-20º and 45º C).
iPod nano can be damaged and battery life shortened if stored or operated outside of these
temperature ranges. Avoid exposing iPod nano to dramatic changes in temperature or humidity.
When you’re using iPod nano or charging the battery, it is normal for iPod nano to get warm. The
exterior of iPod nano functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the unit to the
cooler air outside.
Charging Charge iPod nano with the included Lightning to USB Cable, or with other third-
party Made for iPod cables and power adapters that are compatible with USB 2.0 or later, or
power adapters compliant with applicable country regulations and with one or more of the
following standards: EN 301489-34, IEC 62684, YD/T 1591-2009, CNS 15285, ITU L.1000, or
another applicable mobile device power adapter interoperability standard. Only micro USB
power adapters in certain regions that comply with applicable mobile device power adapter
interoperability standards are compatible. Please contact the power adapter manufacturer to
find out if your micro USB power adapter complies with these standards.
Using damaged cables or chargers, or charging when moisture is present, can cause fire, electric
shock, injury, or damage to iPod nano or other property. When you use the Apple USB Power
Adapter to charge iPod nano, make sure that the AC plug or AC power cord is fully inserted into
the adapter before you plug it into a power outlet.
