Safety, Handling, & Support
Important safety information
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock, injury,
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 the surface of
iPod touch, consider using a case or cover.
Repairing Don’t open iPod touch and don’t attempt to repair iPod touch yourself. Disassembling
iPod touch may damage it or may cause injury to you. 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, see
www.apple.com/batteries/replacement-and-recycling .
Distraction Using iPod touch in some circumstances may distract you and might cause a
dangerous situation (for example, avoid using headphones while riding a bicycle). Observe rules
that prohibit or restrict the use of mobile devices or headphones.
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. Some Maps features require Location Services. Compare the information provided
on iPod touch to your surroundings and defer to posted signs to resolve any discrepancies. Do
not use these services while performing activities that require your full attention. Always comply
with posted signs and the laws and regulations in the areas where you are using iPod touch and
always use common sense.
