Multi-Touch screen  
The Multi-Touch screen displays a wealth of info, entertainment, and creativity, all at your  
fingertips. A few simple gestures—tap, drag, swipe, and pinch—are all you need to explore and  
use iPod touch apps.

on the side of iPod touch, and receive FaceTime calls, text messages, alarms, notifications, and  
other updates.

iPod touch.  
Set up iPod touch  
With only a Wi-Fi connection, you can easily set up and activate iPod touch. You can also set  
up iPod touch by connecting to a computer and using iTunes (see the next section, Connect  
iPod touch to your computer). An Apple ID is recommended for many features, including iCloud,  
FaceTime, the App Store, and the iTunes Store.  
Set up and activate iPod touch. Turn on iPod touch and follow the Setup Assistant.  
The Setup Assistant steps you through the setup process, including:  
Connecting to a Wi-Fi network  
Signing in with or creating a free Apple ID (needed for many features, including iCloud,  
FaceTime, the App Store, and the iTunes Store)  
Entering a passcode  
Setting up iCloud and iCloud Keychain  
Turning on recommended features such as Location Services and Find My iPod touch  
You can also restore from an iCloud or iTunes backup during setup.  
Note: If you turn on Find My iPod touch during setup, Activation Lock will be turned on in order  
to help deter theft. See Find My iPod touch on page 33.  
Connect iPod touch to your computer  
You can connect iPod touch to your computer to set it up. You also might need to connect it to  
complete wireless setup.  
Connecting iPod touch to your computer lets you sync music, videos, and other information  
with iTunes. You can also sync content with your computer wirelessly. See Sync with iTunes on  
page 16.  
To use iPod touch with your computer, you need:  
An Internet connection for your computer (broadband is recommended)  
A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port and one of the following operating systems:  
OS X v10.6.8 or later

Pack 3 or later)

Connect iPod touch to your computer. Use the Lightning to USB Cable provided with iPod touch.  
Connect to Wi-Fi  
If  
appears in the status bar at the top of the screen, you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network.  
iPod touch reconnects anytime you return to the same location.  
Configure Wi-Fi. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi. You can:  
Choose a network: Tap one of the listed networks and enter the password, if asked.  
Ask to join networks: TurnAsk to Join Networkson to be prompted when a Wi-Fi network  
is available. Otherwise, you must manually join a network when a previously used network  
isn’t available.  
Forget a network: Tap  
next to a network you’ve joined before. Then tapForget this  
Network.”  
Join a closed Wi-Fi network: Tap Other, then enter the name of the closed network. You must  
already know the network name, password, and security type to connect to a closed network.  
Adjust the settings for a Wi-Fi network: Tap  
next to a network. You can set an HTTP proxy,  
define static network settings, turn on BootP, or renew the settings provided by a DHCP server.  
Set up your own Wi-Fi network. If you have an unconfigured AirPort base station turned on and  
within range, you can use iPod touch to set it up. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and look forSet up an  
AirPort base station.Tap your base station and the Setup Assistant will do the rest.  
Manage an AirPort network. If iPod touch is connected to an AirPort base station, go to  
Settings > Wi-Fi, tap  
next to the network name, then tap Manage this Network. If you  
haven’t yet downloaded AirPort Utility, tap OK to open the App Store and download it.  
Connect to the Internet  
iPod touch connects to the Internet by joining Wi-Fi networks. When joined to a Wi-Fi network  
that is connected to the Internet, iPod touch connects to the Internet automatically whenever you  
use Mail, Safari, FaceTime, Game Center, Stocks, Maps, Weather, the App Store, or the iTunes Store.  
Set up mail and other accounts  
iPod touch works with iCloud, Microsoft Exchange, and many of the most popular Internet-based  
mail, contacts, and calendar service providers.  
You can set up a free iCloud account when you first set up iPod touch, or later in Settings. See  
iCloud on page 14.  
Set up an account. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account. You can also set up  
an iCloud account in Settings > iCloud.

You can add contacts using an LDAP or CardDAV account if your company or organization  
supports it. See Add contacts on page 97.  
You can add calendars using a CalDAV calendar account, and you can subscribe to iCalendar (.ics)  
calendars or import them from Mail. See Use multiple calendars on page 60.  
Apple ID  
An Apple ID is the login you use for just about everything you do with Apple, including using  
iCloud to store your content, downloading apps from the App Store, and buying songs, movies,  
and TV shows from the iTunes Store.  
You only need one Apple ID for everything you do with Apple. If you have an Apple ID, use it  
when you first set up iPod touch, and whenever you need to sign in to use an Apple service. If  
you don’t already have an Apple ID, you can create one whenever you’re asked to sign in.  
Create an Apple ID. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap Sign In. (If you’re already signed  
in and want to create another Apple ID, first tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.)  
For more information, see appleid.apple.com.  
Manage content on your iOS devices  
You can transfer information and files between your iOS devices and computers, using iCloud  
or iTunes.  
iCloud stores your photos, apps, contacts, calendars, and more, and wirelessly pushes them to  
your devices, keeping everything up to date. See iCloud below.  
iTunes syncs music, video, photos, and more between your computer and iPod touch. Changes  
you make on one device are copied to the other when you sync. You can also use iTunes to  
sync files and documents. See Sync with iTunes on page 16.  
You can use iCloud or iTunes, or both, depending on your needs. For example, you can use  
iCloud to automatically send the photos you take on iPod touch to your other devices, and use  
iTunes to sync photo albums from your computer to iPod touch.  
Important: If you use iCloud for syncing contacts, calendars, and notes, don’t also use iTunes to  
sync those items. Otherwise, you might see duplicates.  
You can also manually manage content from iTunes, in the device’s Summary pane. This lets you  
add songs and videos, by choosing a song, video, or playlist from your iTunes library and then  
dragging it to your iPod touch in iTunes. This is useful if your iTunes library contains more items  
than can fit on your device.  
Note: If you’re using iTunes Match, you can manually manage only video.  
iCloud  
If you use the free iCloud account, iCloud stores your content, including music, photos, contacts,  
calendars, and supported documents. Content stored in iCloud is wirelessly pushed to your other  
iOS devices and computers set up with the same iCloud account.  
iCloud is available on an iOS device with iOS 5 or later, on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.2 or later,  
and on a PC with the iCloud Control Panel for Windows (Windows 7 or Windows 8 is required).

information, go to www.apple.com/icloud.  
iCloud features include:  
iTunes in the Cloud—Download your previous iTunes music and TV show purchases to  
iPod touch for free, anytime. With an iTunes Match subscription, all your music, including music  
you’ve imported from CDs or purchased somewhere other than iTunes, appears on all of your  
devices and can be downloaded and played, on demand. See iTunes Match on page 55.  
Apps and Books—Download your previous App Store and iBooks Store purchases to  
iPod touch for free, any time.  
Photos—Use My Photo Stream to push photos you take with your iPod touch to your other  
devices, automatically. Use iCloud Photo Sharing to share photos and videos with just the  
people you choose, and let them add photos, videos, and comments. See iCloud Photo  
Sharing on page 63 and My Photo Stream on page 64.  
Documents in the Cloud—For iCloud-enabled apps, keep documents and app data up to date  
across all your devices.  
Mail, Contacts, Calendars—Keep your mail contacts, calendars, notes, and reminders up to date  
across all your devices. If you use iCloud, don’t also use iTunes to sync your contacts, calendars,  
and bookmarks to iPod touch.

All iCloud data and backups sent over the Internet are encrypted. See Back up iPod touch on  
page 133.  
Find My iPod—Locate your iPod touch on a map, display a message, play a sound, lock the  
screen, or remotely wipe the data. Find My iPod includes Activation Lock, which requires your  
Apple ID and password in order to turn off Find My iPod or erase your device. Your Apple ID  
and password are also required before anyone can activate your iPod touch. See Find My  
iPod touch on page 33.  
iCloud Tabs—See the webpages you have open on your other iOS devices or computers with  
OS X. See Chapter 7, Safari, on page 45.  
iCloud Keychain—Keep your passwords and credit card information up to date across all your  
designated devices. See iCloud Keychain on page 32.  
Find My Friends—Share your location with people who are important to you. Download the  
free app from the App Store.  
With iCloud, you get a free mail account and 5 GB of storage for your mail, documents, and backups.

Sync with iTunes  
Syncing with iTunes copies information from your computer to iPod touch, and vice versa. You  
can sync by connecting iPod touch to your computer, or you can set up iTunes to sync wirelessly  
with Wi-Fi. You can set iTunes to sync photos, videos, podcasts, apps, and more. For help syncing  
iPod touch with your computer, open iTunes, then choose iTunes Help from the Help menu.  
Sync wirelessly. Connect iPod touch. Then in iTunes on your computer, select your iPod touch,  
click Summary, and selectSync with this iPod over Wi-Fi.”  
When Wi-Fi syncing is turned on, iPod touch syncs when it’s connected to a power source, both  
iPod touch and your computer are connected to the same wireless network, and iTunes is open  
on the computer.  
Tips for syncing with iTunes on your computer  
Connect iPod touch to your computer, select it in iTunes, and set options in the different panes.  
In the Summary pane, you can set iTunes to automatically sync iPod touch when it’s attached  
to your computer. To temporarily override this setting, hold down Command and Option (Mac)  
or Shift and Control (PC) until you see iPod touch appear in the iTunes window.  
In the Summary pane, selectEncrypt iPod backupif you want to encrypt the information  
stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a  
lock icon , and a password is required in order to restore the backup. If you don’t select this  
option, other passwords (such as those for mail accounts) aren’t included in the backup, and  
you’ll have to reenter them if you use the backup to restore iPod touch.  
In the Info pane, when you sync mail accounts, only the settings are transferred from your  
computer to iPod touch. Changes you make to a mail account on iPod touch don’t affect the  
account on your computer.  
In the Info pane, click Advanced to select options that let you replace the information on  
iPod touch with the information from your computer during the next sync.  
In the Photo pane, you can sync photos and videos from a folder on your computer.  
If you use iCloud to store your contacts, calendars, and bookmarks, don’t also sync them to  
iPod touch using iTunes.  
Date and time  
The date and time are usually set for you based on your location—take a look at the Lock screen  
to see if they’re correct.  
Set whether iPod touch updates the date and time automatically. Go to Settings > General >  
Date & Time, then turn Set Automatically on or off. If you set iPod touch to update the time  
automatically, it gets the correct time based on your Wi-Fi connection. In some cases, iPod touch  
may not be able to automatically determine the local time.  
Set the date and time manually. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time, then turn off  
Set Automatically. Tap Time Zone to set your time zone. Tap the Date & Time button, then tap  
Set Date & Time.  
Set whether iPod touch shows 24-hour time or 12-hour time. Go to Settings > General >  
Date & Time, then turn 24-Hour Time on or off. (24-Hour Time may not be available in all areas.)

Privacy  
Privacy settings let you see and control which apps and system services have access to Location  
Services, and to contacts, calendars, reminders, and photos.  
Location Services lets location-based apps such as Maps, Camera, and Passbook gather and  
use data indicating your location. Your approximate location is determined using available  
information from local Wi-Fi networks (if you have Wi-Fi turned on). The location data collected  
by Apple isn’t collected in a form that personally identifies you. When an app is using Location  
Services, appears in the menu bar.  
Turn Location Services on or o. Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services. You can turn it off  
for some or for all apps and services. If you turn off Location Services, you’re prompted to turn it  
on again the next time an app or service tries to use it.  
Turn Location Services off for system services. Several system services, such as location-based  
iAds, use Location Services. To see their status, turn them on or o, or show in the menu  
bar when these services use your location, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services >  
System Services.  
Turn off access to private information. Go to Settings > Privacy. You can see which apps and  
features have requested and been granted access to the following information:  
Contacts  
Calendar  
Reminders  
Photos  
Bluetooth Sharing  
Microphone  
Twitter  
Facebook  
You can turn off each app’s access to each category of information. Review the terms and privacy  
policy for each third-party app to understand how it uses the data it’s requesting.  
Security  
Security features help protect the information on your iPod touch from being accessed by others.  
Use a passcode with data protection  
Initially, iPod touch doesn’t require you to enter a passcode to unlock it. You can set a passcode  
that must be entered each time you turn on or wake up iPod touch.  
Set a passcode. Go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock and set a 4-digit passcode.  
Setting a passcode turns on data protection, using your passcode as a key to encrypt Mail  
messages and attachments stored on iPod touch, using 256-bit AES encryption. (Other apps may  
also use data protection.)  
Increase security. Turn off Simple Passcode and use a longer passcode. To enter a passcode that’s  
a combination of numbers and letters, you use the keyboard. If you prefer to unlock iPod touch  
using the numeric keypad, set up a longer passcode using numbers only.

you set up with Safari, up to date on iPod touch and your other designated iOS devices and Macs  
running OS X Mavericks.  
iCloud Keychain works with Safari Password Generator and AutoFill. When you’re setting up a  
new account, Safari Password Generator suggests unique, hard-to-guess passwords. You can use  
AutoFill to have iPod touch enter your user name and password info, making login easy. See Fill  
in forms on page 48.  
Note: Some websites do not support AutoFill.  
iCloud Keychain works on all your approved iOS 7 devices and Macs running OS X Mavericks.  
iCloud Keychain is secured with 256-bit AES encryption during storage and transmission, and  
cannot be read by Apple.  
Set up iCloud Keychain. Go to Settings > iCloud > Keychain. Turn on iCloud Keychain and  
follow the onscreen instructions. If you’ve set up iCloud Keychain on other devices, you need to

VoiceOver  
VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so you can use iPod touch without seeing it.  
VoiceOver tells you about each item on the screen as you select it. The VoiceOver cursor (a  
rectangle) encloses the item and VoiceOver speaks its name or describes it.  
Touch the screen or drag your finger over it to hear the items on the screen. When you select  
text, VoiceOver reads the text. If you turn on Speak Hints, VoiceOver may tell you the name of the  
item and provide instructions—for example,double-tap to open.To interact with items, such as  
buttons and links, use the gestures described in Learn VoiceOver gestures on page 111.  
When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound, then selects and speaks the first item  
of the screen (typically, the item in the upper-left corner). VoiceOver also lets you know when  
the display changes to landscape or portrait orientation, and when the screen becomes locked  
or unlocked.  
Note: VoiceOver speaks in the language specified in International settings, which may be  
influenced by the Region Format setting in Settings > General > International. VoiceOver is  
available in many languages, but not all.  
VoiceOver Basics

Learn VoiceOver gestures  
When VoiceOver is on, standard touchscreen gestures have different effects, and additional  
gestures let you move around the screen and control individual items. VoiceOver gestures  
include two-, three-, and four-finger taps and swipes. For best results using multi-finger gestures,  
relax and let your fingers touch the screen with some space between them.  
You can use different techniques to perform VoiceOver gestures. For example, you can perform  
a two-finger tap using two fingers of one hand, or one finger from each hand. You can even use  
your thumbs. Many use a split-tap gesture: instead of selecting an item and double-tapping,  
touch and hold an item with one finger, then tap the screen with another finger. Try different  
techniques to discover what works best for you.  
Try different techniques to discover what works best for you. If a gesture doesn’t work, try a  
quicker movement, especially for a double-tap or swipe gesture. To swipe, try brushing the  
screen quickly with your finger or fingers.  
In VoiceOver settings, you can enter a special area where you can practice VoiceOver gestures  
without affecting iPod touch or its settings.  
Practice VoiceOver gestures. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then tap  
VoiceOver Practice. When you finish practicing, tap Done. If you don’t see the VoiceOver Practice  
button, make sure VoiceOver is turned on.  
Here’s a summary of key VoiceOver gestures:  
Navigate and read  
Tap: Select and speak the item.  
Swipe right or left: Select the next or previous item.  
Swipe up or down: Depends on the rotor setting. See Use the VoiceOver rotor on page 112 .  
Two-finger tap: Stop speaking the current item.  
Two-finger swipe up: Read all from the top of the screen.  
Two-finger swipe down: Read all from the current position.  
Two-finger scrub: Move two fingers back and forth three times quickly (making az”) to dismiss  
an alert or go back to the previous screen.  
Three-finger swipe up or down: Scroll one page at a time.  
Three-finger swipe right or left: Go to the next or previous page (such as the Home screen or  
Stocks).  
Three-finger tap: Speak additional information, such as position within a list or whether text

Four-finger tap at top of screen: Select the first item on the page.  
Four-finger tap at bottom of screen: Select the last item on the page.

hold gesture tells iPod touch to interpret the next gesture as standard. For example, you can

Choose your rotor options. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Rotor and  
select the options you want to be available in the rotor.  
The available rotor positions and their effects depend on what you’re doing. For example, if  
you’re reading an email, you can use the rotor to switch between hearing text spoken word-by-  
word or character-by-character when you swipe up or down. If you’re browsing a webpage, you  
can set the rotor to speak all text (word-by-word or character-by-character), or to jump to the  
next item of a certain type, such as a header or link.  
When you use an Apple Wireless Keyboard to control VoiceOver, the rotor lets you adjust settings  
such as volume, speech rate, use of pitch or phonetics, typing echo, and reading of punctuation.

VoiceOver makes a sound when the insertion point moves, and speaks the character, word, or  
line that the insertion point moves across. When moving forward by words, the insertion point  
is placed at the end of each word, before the space or punctuation that follows. When moving  
backward, the insertion point is placed at the end of the preceding word, before the space or  
punctuation that follows it.

Display the onscreen keyboard  
Change the braille translation from Unified English  
For information about common braille commands for VoiceOver navigation and information  
specific to certain displays, see support.apple.com/kb/HT4400.  
The braille display uses the language that’s set for Voice Control.This is normally the language  
set for iPod touch in Settings > International > Language. You can use the VoiceOver language  
setting to set a different language for VoiceOver and braille displays.  
Appendix A Accessibility

Siri  
With Siri, you can do things like opening apps just by asking, and VoiceOver can read Siri  
responses to you. See Chapter 4, Siri, on page 35.  
Zoom  
Many apps let you zoom in or out on specific items. For example, you can double-tap or pinch  
to expand webpage columns in Safari. There’s also a Zoom accessibility feature that lets you  
magnify the entire screen of any app you’re using. You can use Zoom together with VoiceOver.  
Turn Zoom on or o. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom. Or use the Accessibility  
Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut on page 107.  
Zoom in or out. Double-tap the screen with three fingers.  
Vary the magnification. With three fingers, tap and drag up or down. The tap-and-drag gesture  
is similar to a double-tap, except you don’t lift your fingers on the second tap—instead, drag  
your fingers on the screen. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger. iPod touch  
returns to the adjusted magnification when you zoom out and in again using the three-finger  
double-tap.  
Pan around the screen. While zoomed in, drag the screen with three fingers. Once you start  
dragging, you can continue with just one finger. Or hold a single finger near the edge of the  
screen to pan to that side. Move your finger closer to the edge to pan more quickly. When you  
open a new screen, Zoom goes to the upper-middle of the screen.  
While using Zoom with an Apple Wireless Keyboard (see Use an Apple Wireless Keyboard on  
page 23), the screen image follows the insertion point, keeping it in the center of the display.

Switch Control  
Switch Control lets you control iPod touch using a single switch or multiple switches. Use any  
of several methods to perform actions such as selecting, tapping, dragging, typing, and even  
free-hand drawing. The basic technique is to use a switch to select an item or location on the  
screen, and then use the same (or different) switch to choose an action to perform on that item  
or location. Three basic methods are:  
Item scanning (default), which highlights different items on the screen until you select one.  
Point scanning, which lets you use scanning crosshairs to pick a screen location.  
Manual selection, which lets you move from item to item on demand (requires multiple  
switches).  
Whichever method you use, when you select an individual item (rather than a group), a menu  
appears so you can choose how to act on the selected item (tap, drag, or pinch, for example).  
Appendix A Accessibility  
121  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
If you use multiple switches, you can set up each switch to perform a specific action and  
customize your item selection method. For example, instead of automatically scanning screen  
items, you can set up switches to move to the next or previous item on demand.  
You can adjust the behavior of Switch Control in a variety of ways, to suit your specific needs  
and style.  
Add a switch and turn on Switch Control  
You can use any of these as a switch:  
An external adaptive switch. Choose from a variety of popular USB or Bluetooth switches.  
The iPod touch screen. Tap on the screen to trigger the switch.  
The iPod touch FaceTime camera. Move your head to trigger the switch. You can use the camera  
as two switches; one when you move your head to the left, and the other when you move  
your head to the right.  
Add a switch and choose its action. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control >  
Switches.  
Turn on Switch Control. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control.  
Turn off Switch Control. Use any scanning method to select Settings > General > Accessibility >  
Switch Control.  
Bail out! Triple-click the Home button at any time to exit from Switch Control.  
Basic techniques  
These techniques work whether you’re scanning by item or by point.  
Select an item. While the item is highlighted, trigger the switch you’ve set up as your Select Item  
switch. If you are using a single switch, it is your Select Item switch by default.  
Display available actions. Select an item using the Select Item switch. Available actions appear  
in the control menu that appears.  
Tap an item. Use your scanning method to choose Tap from the control menu that appears  
when you select the item. Or turn on Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Auto  
Tap, then just select an item and do nothing for the Auto Tap interval (0.75 seconds if you haven’t  
adjusted it). Or set up a switch specifically to perform the tap gesture, at Settings > General >  
Accessibility > Switch Control > Switches.  
Perform other gestures or actions. Select the gesture or action from the control menu that  
appears when you select the item. If you have Auto Tap turned on, trigger your switch within the  
Auto Tap interval, then select the gesture. If there is more than one page of actions available, tap  
the dots at the bottom of the menu to go to another page.  
Dismiss the control menu. Tap while all the icons in the menu are dimmed.  
Scroll the screen to see more items. Select any item on the screen, then choose Scroll from  
the menu.  
Perform a hardware action. Select any item, then select Device from the control menu that  
appears. You can use the menu to mimic these actions:  
Click the Home button  
Double-click the Home button for multitasking  
Open Notification Center or Control Center  
Press the Sleep/Wake button to lock iPod touch

Item scanning  
Item scanning alternately highlights each item or group of items on the screen until you trigger  
your Select Item switch to select the highlighted item. When you select a group, highlighting  
continues with the items in the group. Scanning stops and a menu of actions appears when  
you select a unique item. Item scanning is the default when you first turn on Switch Control. By  
default, Switch Control moves from item to item at a regular interval, but you can set up switches  
to move to the next or previous item on demand.  
Select an item or enter a group. Watch (or listen) as items are highlighted. When the item you  
want to control (or the group containing the item) is highlighted, trigger your Select Item switch.  
Work your way down in the hierarchy of items until you select the individual item you want  
to control.  
Back out of a group. Act on your switch when the dashed highlight around the group or  
item appears.  
Tap the selected item. Choose Tap from the control menu that appears when you select the  
item. Or, if you have Auto Tap enabled, just do nothing for three-quarters of a second.  
Perform another action. Select any item, then select the action from the menu that appears. If  
you have Auto Tap turned on, act on your switch within three quarters of a second of selecting  
an item in order to display a menu of available gestures.  
Point scanning  
Point scanning lets you select an item on the screen by pinpointing it with scanning crosshairs.  
Turn on point scanning. Use item scanning to select Settings from the menu, then select Item  
Mode to toggle it to Point Mode. The vertical crosshair appears when you close the menu.  
Return to item scanning. Select Settings from the control menu, then select Point Mode to  
toggle it to Item Mode.

Safety, Handling, & Support  
C
Important safety information  
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock, or other  
injuries, or damage to iPod touch or other property. Read all the safety information below  
before using iPod touch.  
Handling Handle iPod touch with care. It is made of metal, glass, and plastic and has sensitive  
electronic components inside. iPod touch can be damaged if dropped, burned, punctured, or  
crushed, or if it comes in contact with liquid. Don’t use a damaged iPod touch, such as one with  
a cracked screen, as it may cause injury. If you’re concerned about scratching the surface of  
iPod touch, consider using a case or cover.  
Repairing Don’t open iPod touch and don’t attempt to repair iPod touch by yourself.  
Disassembling iPod touch may damage it or may cause injury to you. If iPod touch is  
damaged, malfunctions, or comes in contact with liquid, contact Apple or an Apple  
Authorized Service Provider. You can find more information about getting service at  
Battery Don’t attempt to replace the iPod touch battery yourself—you may damage the  
battery, which could cause overheating and injury. The lithium-ion battery in iPod touch should  
be replaced only by Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, and must be recycled or  
disposed of separately from household waste. Don’t incinerate the battery. For information about  
battery recycling and replacement, see www.apple.com/batteries.  
Distraction Using iPod touch in some circumstances may distract you and might cause a  
dangerous situation. Observe rules that prohibit or restrict the use of mobile devices or headphones  
(for example, avoid texting while driving a car or using headphones while riding a bicycle).  
Navigation Maps, directions, Flyover, and location based apps depend on data services.  
Charging Charge iPod touch with the included cable connected to a computer or to an Apple  
USB power adapter (available separately), or with other third-partyMade for iPodcables and  
power adapters that are compatible with USB 2.0 or later. Using damaged cables or chargers, or  
charging when moisture is present, can cause electric shock. When you use the Apple USB Power  
Adapter to charge iPod touch, make sure that the AC plug or AC power cord is fully inserted into  
the adapter before you plug it into a power outlet.  
128  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Prolonged heat exposure iPod touch and its power adapter (available separately) comply  
with applicable surface temperature standards and limits. However, even within these limits,  
sustained contact with warm surfaces for long periods of time may cause discomfort or injury.  
Use common sense to avoid situations where your skin is in contact with a device or its power  
adapter when it’s operating or plugged into a power source for long periods of time. For  
example, don’t sleep or place a device or power adapter under a blanket, pillow, or your body  
when it’s plugged into a power source. It’s important to keep iPod touch and its power adapter  
in a well-ventilated area when using or charging them. Take special care if you have a physical  
condition that affects your ability to detect heat against the body.  
Hearing loss Listening to sound at high volumes may damage your hearing. Background noise,  
as well as continued exposure to high volume levels, can make sounds seem quieter than they  
actually are. Use only compatible receivers, earbuds, headphones, speakerphones, or earpieces  
with your device. Turn on the audio and check the volume before inserting anything in your ear.  
For more information about hearing loss, see www.apple.com/sound. For information about how  
to set a maximum volume limit on iPod touch, see Music settings on page 56.  
WARNING: To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for  
long periods.  
Apple headsets The headsets sold with iPhone 4s or later in China (identifiable by dark  
insulating rings on the plug) are designed to comply with Chinese standards and are compatible  
with iPhone 4s or later, iPad 2 or later, and iPod touch 5th generation. Use only compatible  
headsets with your device.  
Radio signals iPod touch uses radio signals to connect to wireless networks. For information  
about the amount of power used to transmit these signals, and about steps you can take to  
minimize exposure, see Settings > General > About > Legal > RF Exposure.  
Radio frequency interference Observe signs and notices that prohibit or restrict the use of  
electronic devices (for example, in healthcare facilities or blasting areas). Although iPod touch  
is designed, tested, and manufactured to comply with regulations governing radio frequency  
emissions, such emissions from iPod touch can negatively affect the operation of other electronic  
equipment, causing them to malfunction. Turn off iPod touch or use Airplane Mode to turn off  
the iPod touch wireless transmitters when use is prohibited, such as while traveling in aircraft, or  
when asked to do so by authorities.  
Medical devices iPod touch contains radios that emit electromagnetic fields, and contains  
magnets near the bottom. The included headphones also have magnets in the earbuds. These  
electromagnetic fields and magnets may interfere with pacemakers, defibrillators, or other  
medical devices. Maintain at least 6 inches (approximately 15 cm) of separation between your  
pacemaker or defibrillator and iPod touch or the earbuds. If you suspect iPod touch is interfering  
with your pacemaker or any other medical device, stop using iPod touch and consult your  
physician for information specific to your medical device.  
Medical conditions If you have any other medical condition that you believe could be affected  
by iPod touch (for example, seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with your  
physician prior to using iPod touch.  
Explosive atmospheres Do not charge or use iPod touch in any area with a potentially explosive  
atmosphere, such as a fueling area, or in areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such  
as grain, dust, or metal powders). Obey all signs and instructions.  
Appendix C Safety, Handling, & Support  
129  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Repetitive motion When you perform repetitive activities such as typing or playing games on  
iPod touch, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, wrists, shoulders,  
neck, or other parts of your body. If you experience discomfort, stop using iPod touch and  
consult a physician.  
High-consequence activities This device is not intended for use where the failure of the device  
could lead to death, personal injury, or severe environmental damage.  
iPod touch loop (available on some models) To attach the loop securely, press the button  
on the back of iPod touch to pop it up, slip the loop tab over the button, then pull the loop  
to snap it into place. Certain activities when using the iPod touch loop may pose a risk of  
injury, especially if the loop becomes caught or trapped—for example, while working around  
machinery. Don’t swing iPod touch while using the loop, as the loop might come o, causing  
injury or damage.  
Choking hazard Some iPod touch accessories may present a choking hazard to small children.  
Keep these accessories away from small children.  
Important handling information  
Cleaning Clean iPod touch immediately if it comes in contact with anything that may cause  
stains—such as dirt, ink, makeup, or lotions. To clean:  
Disconnect all cables and turn iPod touch off (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, then  
slide the onscreen slider).  
Use a soft, lint-free cloth.  
Avoid getting moisture in openings.  
Don’t use cleaning products or compressed air.  
The front of iPod touch is made of glass with a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic (oil repellant)  
coating. This coating wears over time with normal usage. Cleaning products and abrasive  
materials will further diminish the coating, and may scratch the glass.  
Using connectors, ports, and buttons Never force a connector into a port or apply excessive  
pressure to a button, because this may cause damage that is not covered under the warranty. If  
the connector and port don’t join with reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Check for  
obstructions and make sure that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned  
the connector correctly in relation to the port.  
Lightning cable Discoloration of the Lightning plug after regular use is normal. Dirt, debris, and  
exposure to liquids may cause discoloration. To remove the discoloration or if the cable becomes  
warm during use or won’t charge or sync your iPod touch, disconnect the Lightning cable from  
your computer or power adapter and clean it with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquids or  
cleaning products when cleaning the Lightning connector.  
Operating temperature iPod touch is designed to work in ambient temperatures between  
32° and 95° F (0° and 35° C) and stored in temperatures between -4° and 113° F (-20° and 45° C).  
iPod touch can be damaged and battery life shortened if stored or operated outside of these  
temperature ranges. Avoid exposing iPod touch to dramatic changes in temperature or humidity.  
When you’re using iPod touch or charging the battery, it is normal for iPod touch to get warm.

If the interior temperature of iPod touch exceeds normal operating temperatures (for example, in  
a hot car or in direct sunlight for extended periods of time), you may experience the following as  
it attempts to regulate its temperature:  
iPod touch stops charging.  
The screen dims.  
A temperature warning screen appears.  
Some apps may close.
