Important Safety Information
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock,
or other injury or damage.
Handling iPod shuffle Do not bend, drop, crush, puncture, incinerate, or open
iPod shuffle.
Avoiding water and wet locations Do not use iPod shuffle in rain or near washbasins,
or other wet locations. Take care not to spill any food or liquid into iPod shuffle. In case
iPod shuffle gets wet, unplug all cables and turn iPod shuffle off before cleaning, and
allow it to dry thoroughly before turning it on again.
Repairing iPod shuffle Never attempt to repair iPod shuffle yourself. iPod shuffle
does not contain any user-serviceable parts. For service information, choose iPod Help
from the Help menu in iTunes or go to www.apple.com/support/ipod/service. The
battery in iPod shuffle is not user-replaceable. For more information about batteries,
go to www.apple.com/batteries.
Using the iPod USB Power Adapter (available separately) If you use the iPod 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 iPod USB Power Adapter firmly into the power outlet. Do not
connect or disconnect the iPod USB Power Adapter with wet hands. Do not use any
power adapter other than the Apple iPod USB Power Adapter to charge your
iPod shuffle.
The iPod USB Power Adapter may become warm during normal use. Always allow
adequate ventilation around the iPod USB Power Adapter and use care when handling.
Unplug the iPod 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 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 Loading and Playing Music chapter.
Using headphones safely Use of headphones 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.
Important Handling Information
NOTICE: Failure to follow these handling instructions could result in damage to
iPod shuffle or other property.
Carrying iPod shuffle iPod shuffle contains sensitive components. Do not bend, drop,
or crush iPod shuffle.
Using connectors and ports Never force a connector into a port. Check for
obstructions on the port. If the connector and port don't 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.
Keeping iPod shuffle within acceptable temperatures Operate iPod shuffle in a place
where the temperature is always between 0° and 35° C (32° to 95° F). iPod play time
might temporarily shorten in low-temperature conditions.
Store iPod shuffle in a place where the temperature is always between -20° and 45° C
(-4° to 113° F). Don't leave iPod shuffle in your car, because temperatures in parked cars
can exceed this range.
When you're using iPod shuffle or charging the battery, it is normal for iPod shuffle to
get warm. The exterior of iPod shuffle functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat
from inside the unit to the cooler air outside.
Keeping the outside of iPod shuffle clean To clean iPod shuffle, remove it from the
dock and turn iPod shuffle off. Then use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid
getting moisture in openings. Don't use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol
sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean iPod shuffle.
Disposing of iPod shuffle properly For information about the proper disposal of
iPod shuffle, including other important regulatory compliance information, see
"Regulatory Compliance Information" on Safety and Handling chapter.
