iPod touch Buttons and Touchscreen
A few simple buttons and a high-resolution touchscreen make it easy to learn and use
iPod touch.
Locking iPod touch and Turning It On or Off
When you’re not using iPod touch, you can lock it. When iPod touch is locked, nothing
happens if you touch the screen. By default, if you don’t touch the screen for a minute,
iPod touch locks automatically.
Locking iPod touch does not stop music playback, so you can lock iPod touch and
continue to listen to music. To temporarily display playback controls when iPod touch is
locked, double-click the Home button.
For information about locking iPod touch with a passcode, see “Passcode Lock” on
page 77.
