Safety, Handling, & Support
Important safety information
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock, or other
injuries, 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 by 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 .
Distraction Using iPod touch in some circumstances may distract you and might cause a
dangerous situation. Observe rules that prohibit or restrict the use of mobile devices or headphones
(for example, avoid texting while driving a car or using headphones while riding a bicycle).
Navigation Maps, directions, Flyover, and location based apps depend on data services.
Charging Charge iPod touch with the included cable connected to a computer or to an Apple
USB power adapter (available separately), or with other third-party “Made for iPod” cables and
power adapters that are compatible with USB 2.0 or later. Using damaged cables or chargers, or
charging when moisture is present, can cause electric shock. When you use the Apple USB Power
Adapter to charge iPod touch, make sure that the AC plug or AC power cord is fully inserted into
the adapter before you plug it into a power outlet.
Lightning cable and connector Avoid prolonged skin contact with the connector when the
Lightning cable is plugged into a power source because it may cause discomfort or injury.
Situations such as sleeping or sitting on the Lightning connector should be avoided.
