Apple iPod nano (6th generation) - Manual (Page 24)

Controlling the volume
The volume buttons are on the top of iPod nano. Press Volume Up or Volume Down to adjust the
volume as you listen. The following sections describe other adjustments you can make to limit the
maximum volume and enhance audio quality.
Setting the maximum volume limit
You can set a limit for the maximum volume on iPod nano, and assign a passcode to prevent the
setting from being changed without your knowledge.
Note: Accessories that connect using the dock connector don’t support volume limits.
Set the maximum volume limit for iPod nano:
1 On the Home screen, tap Settings.
2 Tap Music, and then tap Volume Limit.
The volume control shows the maximum volume limit.
3 Drag the slider left to lower the maximum volume limit, or right to raise the limit.
Require a passcode to change the volume limit:
1 After setting the maximum volume, tap Lock Volume Limit.
2 In the screen that appears, tap a four-digit passcode.
If you tap a number by mistake, tap and then tap the number you intended.
You can keep tapping to erase all numbers and return to the Volume Limit screen without
setting a passcode.
3 When you’re prompted to reenter the passcode, tap the numbers again.
Remove the volume limit:
1 On the Home screen, tap Settings.
2 Tap Music, then tap Volume Limit.
3 Drag the slider all the way to the right.
If you set a passcode, tap Unlock Volume Limit first, enter your passcode, and then drag the slider.
If you forget the passcode, you can restore iPod nano. See “Updating and restoring iPod
software” on page 56.
Playing songs at the same volume level
The volume of songs and other audio may vary depending on how the audio was recorded or
encoded. The volume level may also vary if you use different earphones or headphones.
You can set iTunes to automatically adjust the volume of songs, so they play at the same relative
volume level. Then you can set iPod nano to use the same iTunes volume settings.
