* Accessories and wireless performance: The use of certain accessories with iPod touch may
affect wireless performance. Not all iPod accessories are fully compatible with iPod touch. Turning

accessory. While airplane mode is on, you cannot make or receive FaceTime calls or use features
that require wireless communication. Reorienting or relocating iPod touch and the connected
accessory may improve wireless performance.
