Chapter 6 Safety and Cleaning 53
Avoid hearing damage Set your iPod nano volume to a safe level. If you experience ringing
in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use of your iPod
nano. For information on how to set a maximum volume limit on
iPod nano, see “Setting the Maximum Volume Limit” on page 26.
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 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.
Use connectors and ports
properly
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.
Reduce the chance of shock or
injury
Keep your iPod nano away from sources of liquids, such as rain,
drinks, or washbasins. Take care not to spill any food or liquid on
your iPod nano. In case of a spill, unplug your iPod nano before
cleaning up. After a spill, you might need to send your equipment
to an authorized service provider.
Warning: Do not use your iPod nano in or near water or wet
locations.
Repair your iPod nano For service, see “Learning More, Service, and Support” on page 54.
Warning: Do not make repairs yourself. Do not attempt to open
your iPod nano, disassemble it, or remove the battery. You run the
risk of electric shock and voiding the limited warranty. No user-
serviceable parts are inside.
Keep the outside of your iPod
nano clean
Make sure your iPod nano is unplugged. Use a damp, soft, lint-free
cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don’t use aerosol sprays,
solvents, alcohol, or abrasives.
Keep your iPod nano within
acceptable temperatures
Operate your iPod nano in a place where the temperature is always
between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F). iPod nano play time might
temporarily shorten in low-temperature conditions.
Store your iPod nano in a place where the temperature is always
between –20º and 45º C (–4º to 113º F). Don’t leave iPod nano in
your car, because temperatures in parked cars can exceed this
range.
Note: When you’re using your iPod nano or charging the battery,
it is normal for the bottom of the case to get warm. The bottom of
the iPod nano case functions as a cooling surface that transfers
heat from inside the unit to the cooler air outside.
