Safety and Cleaning 71
Avoid Hearing Damage
Do Not Use Headphones While Driving
Important: Use of headphones while operating a vehicle is not recommended and is
illegal in some areas. Be careful and attentive while driving. Stop listening to your iPod
if you find it disruptive or distracting while operating any type of vehicle or performing
any other activity that requires your full attention.
Connectors and Ports
Never force a connector into a port. If the connector and port do not 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.
Using the Power Adapter
• Use only the power adapter that came with your iPod. Adapters for other electronic
devices may look similar, but they may damage your iPod.
• The only way to shut off power to your power adapter completely is to disconnect it
from the power source.
• Always leave space around your power adapter. Do not use this equipment in a
location where airflow around the power adapter is confined, such as a bookcase.
Warning Permanent hearing loss may occur if earbuds or headphones are used at
high volume. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound, which may sound
normal but can be damaging to your hearing. Set your iPod volume to a safe level
before that happens. If you experience ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or
discontinue use of your iPod.
