Chapter 1 iPod classic Basics 12
About the iPod classic battery
iPod classic has an internal, non-user-replaceable battery. For best results, the rst time you use
iPod classic, let it charge for about four hours or until the battery icon in the status area of the
display shows that the battery is fully charged. If iPod classic isn’t used for a while, the battery
might need to be charged.
The iPod classic battery is 80-percent charged in about two hours, and fully charged in about
four hours. If you charge iPod classic while adding les, playing music, watching videos, or
viewing a slideshow, charging might take longer.
Charging the iPod classic battery
You can charge the iPod classic battery in two ways:
•
Connect iPod classic to your computer.
•
Use the Apple USB Power Adapter, available separately.
Charge the battery using your computer:
m Connect iPod classic to a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port on your computer. The computer must be turned on
and not in sleep mode (some Mac models can charge iPod classic while in sleep mode).
If the battery icon on the iPod classic screen shows the Charging screen, the battery is charging.
If it shows the Charged screen, the battery is fully charged.
If you don’t see the charging screen, iPod classic might not be connected to a high-power USB
port. Try another USB port on your computer.
Important: If a “Charging, Please Wait” or “Connect to Power” message appears on the iPod classic
screen, the battery needs to be charged before iPod classic can communicate with your
computer. See If iPod classic displays a “Connect to Power” message on page 49.
If you want to charge iPod classic when you’re away from your computer, you can purchase the
Apple USB Power Adapter.
