Apple iPod (with color display) - Manual (Page 54)

54 Using iPod
You can charge the iPod battery in two ways:
• Connect iPod to your computer.
• Use the iPod USB Power Adapter.
To charge the battery using your computer:
n Connect iPod to a high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer. The computer must be
turned on and not in sleep mode (some models of Macintosh can charge iPod while in
sleep mode).
Important: While songs, photos, or files are transferred using USB 2.0, the iPod battery
loses charge. Transferring songs or files when iPod isn’t sufficiently charged can cause
incomplete transfer, loss of the information being transferred, and may require a
restore (see page 66). It’s best to charge iPod using the iPod Power Adapter before
transferring songs or files.
If the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the iPod screen shows a lightning bolt,
the battery is charging. If it shows a plug, the battery is fully charged.
If you don’t see the lightning bolt or the plug, iPod may not be connected to a high-
power USB 2.0 port. Try another USB port on your computer.
If you can’t charge using a USB port on your computer, you can charge the battery
using the iPod USB Power Adapter.
