Chapter 7 Safety and Handling 33
Using the Apple USB Power Adapter (available separately) If you use the Apple USB
Power Adapter (sold separately at www.apple.com/ipodstore) to charge iPod shuffle,
make sure that the power adapter is fully assembled before you plug it into a power
outlet. Then insert the Apple USB Power Adapter firmly into the power outlet. Do not
connect or disconnect the Apple USB Power Adapter with wet hands. Do not use any
power adapter other than the Apple USB Power Adapter to charge your iPod shuffle.
The Apple USB Power Adapter may become warm during normal use. Always allow
adequate ventilation around the Apple USB Power Adapter and use care when
handling.
Unplug the Apple USB Power Adapter if any of the following conditions exist:
 The power cord or plug has become frayed or damaged.
 The adapter is exposed to rain, liquids, or excessive moisture.
 The adapter case has become damaged.
 You suspect the adapter needs service or repair.
 You want to clean the adapter.
Avoiding hearing damage Permanent hearing loss may occur if earbuds or
headphones are used at high volume. Set the volume to a safe level. You can adapt
over time to a higher volume of sound that may sound normal but can be damaging to
your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening
and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before
your hearing could be affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:
 Limit the amount of time you use earbuds or headphones at high volume.
 Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
 Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
For information about how to set a volume limit on iPod shuffle, see “Setting a Volume
Limit” on page 25.
Driving safely Use of iPod shuffle alone, or with earphones (even if used in only one
ear) while operating a vehicle is not recommended and is illegal in some areas. Be
careful and attentive while driving. Stop using iPod shuffle if you find it disruptive or
distracting while operating any type of vehicle, or performing any other activity that
requires your full attention.
