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 126. 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.
