Using the Apple USB Power Adapter (available separately)  If you use the Apple USB 
Power Adapter (sold separately at www.apple.com/ipodstore) to charge iPod, make 
sure that the power adapter is fully assembled before you plug it into a power outlet. 
Then insert the Apple USB Power Adapter firmly into the power outlet. Do not connect 
or disconnect the Apple USB Power Adapter with wet hands. Do not use any power 
adapter other than an Apple iPod power adapter to charge your iPod.

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, liquids, 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 maximum volume limit on iPod, see “Setting the 
Maximum Volume Limit” on page 29.

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 if you find it disruptive or distracting while operating any type of vehicle or 
performing any other activity that requires your full attention.

Avoiding seizures, blackouts, and eye strain  If you have experienced seizures or 
blackouts, or if you have a family history of such occurrences, please consult a 
physician before playing video games on iPod (if available). Discontinue use and 
consult a physician if you experience: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of 
awareness, involuntary movements, or disorientation. When watching videos or playing 
games on iPod (if available), avoid prolonged use and take breaks to prevent eye strain.
