Driving and riding safely Use of iPod nano alone, or with headphones (even if used
in only one ear) while operating a vehicle is not recommended and is illegal in some
areas. Check and obey the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices like
iPod nano in areas where you drive or ride. Be careful and attentive while driving or
riding a bicycle. Stop using iPod nano if you find it disruptive or distracting while
operating any type of vehicle, or performing any other activity that requires your
full attention.
Seizures, blackouts, and eye strain A small percentage of people may be susceptible
to blackouts or seizures (even if they have never had one before) when exposed to
flashing lights or light patterns such as when playing games or watching video. If you
have experienced seizures or blackouts or have a family history of such occurrences,
please consult a physician before playing games (if available) or watching videos on
your iPod nano. Discontinue use and consult a physician if you experience: headaches,
blackouts, seizures, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary
movements, or disorientation. To reduce risk of headaches, blackouts, seziures, and
eyestrain, avoid prolonged use, hold iPod nano some distance from your eyes, use
iPod nano in a well lit room, and take frequent breaks.
Glass parts The outside cover of the display on iPod nano is made of glass. This glass
could break if iPod nano is dropped on a hard surface or receives a substantial impact.
If the glass chips or cracks, do not touch or attempt to remove the broken glass. Stop
using iPod nano until the glass is replaced by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.
Glass cracked due to misuse or abuse is not covered under the warranty.
Repetitive motion When you perform repetitive activities such as playing games on
iPod nano, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders,
neck, or other parts of your body. Take frequent breaks and if you have discomfort
during or after such use, stop use and see a physician.
Exercising Before starting any exercise program, you should have a complete physical
examination by your physician. Do a warmup or stretching exercise before beginning
any workout. Be careful and attentive while exercising. Slow down, if necessary, before
adjusting your device while running. Stop exercising immediately if you feel pain, or
feel faint, dizzy, exhausted, or short of breath. By exercising, you assume the risks
inherent in physical exercise, including any injury that may result from such activity.
