94 Chapter 10 Safety and Cleaning
Repairing iPod nano Never attempt to repair iPod nano yourself. iPod nano does not
contain any user-serviceable parts. If iPod nano has been submerged in water,
punctured, or subjected to a severe fall, do not use it until you take it to an Apple
Authorized Service Provider. For service information, choose iPod Help from the Help
menu in iTunes or go to www.apple.com/support/ipod. The rechargeable battery in
iPod nano should be replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider. For more
information about batteries, go to www.apple.com/batteries.
Charging iPod nano To charge iPod nano, only use the included Apple Dock
Connector to USB Cable with an Apple USB Power Adapter, or a high-power USB port
on another device that is compliant with the USB 2.0 standard; another Apple branded
product or accessory designed to work with iPod; or a third-party accessory certified to
use the Apple “Made for iPod” logo.
Read all safety instructions for any products and accessories before using with
iPod nano. Apple is not responsible for the operation of third party accessories or their
compliance with safety and regulatory standards.
When you use the Apple USB Power Adapter (sold separately at www.apple.com/
ipodstore) to charge iPod nano, make sure that the power adapter is fully assembled
before you plug it into a power outlet. Then insert the Apple USB Power Adapter firmly
into the power outlet. Do not connect or disconnect the Apple USB Power Adapter
with wet hands. Do not use any power adapter other than an Apple iPod power
adapter to charge your iPod.
The Apple USB Power Adapter may become warm during normal use. Always allow
adequate ventilation around the Apple USB Power Adapter and use care when handling.
Unplug the Apple USB Power Adapter if any of the following conditions exist:
 The power cord or plug has become frayed or damaged.
 The adapter is exposed to rain, liquids, or excessive moisture.
 The adapter case has become damaged.
 You suspect the adapter needs service or repair.
 You want to clean the adapter.
Avoiding hearing damage Permanent hearing loss may occur if the internal speaker,
earbuds or headphones are used at high volume. Set the volume to a safe level. You
can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may sound normal but can be
damaging to your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech,
stop listening and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is
required before your hearing could be affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect
your hearing:
 Limit the amount of time you use earbuds or headphones at high volume.
 Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
