Important Handling Information
Carrying iPod nano iPod nano contains sensitive components, including, in some
cases, a hard drive. Do not bend, drop, or crush iPod nano. If you are concerned about
scratching iPod nano, you can use one of the many cases sold separately.
Using connectors and ports Never force a connector into a port. Check for
obstructions on the port. If the connector and port don’t join with reasonable ease,
they probably don’t match. Make sure that the connector matches the port and that
you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.
Keeping iPod nano within acceptable temperatures Operate iPod nano in a place
where the temperature is always between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F). iPod play time
might temporarily shorten in low-temperature conditions.
Store iPod nano in a place where the temperature is always between -20º and 45º C
(-4º to 113º F). Don’t leave iPod nano in your car, because temperatures in parked cars
can exceed this range.
When you’re using iPod nano or charging the battery, it is normal for iPod nano to get
warm. The exterior of iPod nano functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from
inside the unit to the cooler air outside.
Keeping the outside of iPod nano clean To clean iPod nano, unplug all cables, turn
iPod nano off, and slide the Hold switch (if available) to HOLD. Then use a soft, slightly
damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don’t use window cleaners,
household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean
iPod nano.
Disposing of iPod nano properly For information about the proper disposal of
iPod nano, including other important regulatory compliance information, see the
features guide for your iPod nano.
NOTICE: Failure to follow these handling instructions could result in damage to
iPod nano or other property.
