• Stops playing video if one is playing
• Saves a voice memo if one is being recorded
• Stops counting steps
• Stops and saves Nike+ workout data

While iPod nano is turned off, you won't hear any alarm if a timer expires. When you turn iPod nano on again, alarms that haven't expired will occur as scheduled.

If you're not connected to or using a Bluetooth device, turn off Bluetooth in Settings > Bluetooth to conserve power.

Setting up iTunes syncing

iTunes is the free software application you use to sync music, audiobooks, podcasts, photos, videos, and iTunes U collections between your computer and iPod nano, and to send workouts to the Nike+ website. You need iTunes 10.7 or later to use iPod nano features.

You can preview and download content from the iTunes Store (available in selected countries) to iTunes on your computer. To learn about iTunes and the iTunes Store, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.

Syncing automatically

When you connect iPod nano to your computer, iPod nano is automatically updated to match the items in your iTunes library. When the update is done, a message in iTunes says “iPod update is complete,” and a bar at the bottom of the iTunes window displays how much disk space is used by different types of content. You can sync iPod nano automatically with only one computer at a time.

Important: The first time you connect iPod nano to a computer that it's not synced with, a message asks if you want to sync songs automatically. If you accept, all songs, audiobooks, and other content are erased from iPod nano and replaced with songs and other items from that computer.

You can prevent iPod nano from syncing when you connect it to a computer other than the one you usually sync with.

Turn off automatic syncing for iPod nano:

1 Connect iPod nano to your computer, then open iTunes. 2 In the iTunes Summary pane, deselect "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected." 3 Click Apply.

If you turn off automatic syncing, you can still sync by clicking the Sync button.

Managing iPod nano manually

If you manage iPod nano manually, you can add content from multiple computers to iPod nano without erasing items already on iPod nano.

Setting iPod nano to manually manage music turns off the automatic sync options in the Music, Podcasts, iTunes U, and Photos panes. You can't manually manage some and automatically sync others at the same time.

Note: Genius Mixes don't work if you manually manage content. You can still manually sync Genius playlists to iPod nano, and create Genius playlists on the iPod after a manual sync of Genius content. See Playing Genius Mixes on page 24.

Set iTunes to manage content manually:

1. Open iTunes Preferences (in the menu under iTunes), then click Devices. 2. Select "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically," then click OK. 3. In the iTunes window, select iPod nano, then click Summary. 4. In the Options section, select "Manually manage music and videos." 5. Click Apply.

You can reset iPod nano to sync automatically at any time—deselect "Manually manage music," then click Apply. You may need to reselect your sync options.

Transferring purchased content to another computer

Content that you purchase in iTunes on one computer can be transferred from iPod nano to an iTunes library on another computer. The other computer must be authorized to play content from your iTunes Store account.

Transfer purchased content to another computer:

1. Open iTunes on the other computer and choose Store > Authorize This Computer. 2. Connect iPod nano to the newly authorized computer. 3. In iTunes, choose File > "Transfer Purchases from iPod."

Important safety information

Handling Handle iPod nano with care. It is made of metal, glass, and plastic and has sensitive electronic components inside. iPod nano can be damaged if dropped, burned, punctured, or crushed, or if it comes in contact with liquid. Don't use a damaged iPod nano, such as when the screen is cracked, as it may cause injury. If you're concerned about scratching, consider using a case.

Repairing Don't open iPod nano and don't attempt to repair iPod nano by yourself. Disassembling iPod nano may cause injury to you or damage to iPod nano. If iPod nano is damaged, malfunctions or comes in contact with liquid, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can find more information about obtaining service at: www.apple.com/support/ipod.

Battery Don't attempt to replace the battery in iPod nano yourself as you may damage the battery which may cause overheating and injury. The lithium-ion battery in iPod nano should be replaced only by Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, and must be recycled or disposed of separately from household waste. For information about battery recycling and replacement, go to www.apple.com/batteries. Don't incinerate the battery.

Distraction Using iPod nano in some circumstances can distract you and may cause a dangerous situation. Observe rules that prohibit or restrict the use of headphones (for example, using headphones while riding a bicycle).

Charging Charge iPod nano with the included cable and optional power adapter or other third-party Made for iPod cable and power adapters that are compatible with USB 2.0. Using damaged cables or chargers, or charging when moisture is present, can cause electric shock. When you use the Apple Lightning to USB Cable to charge iPod nano, make sure that the AC plug or AC power cord is fully inserted into the adapter before you plug it into a power outlet. Power adapters may become warm during normal use and prolonged contact may cause injury. Always allow adequate ventilation around power adapters when using.

Hearing loss Listening to sound at high volumes may damage your hearing. To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods. 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 nano, see Setting the maximum volume limit on page 25.

RF exposure iPod nano uses radio signals to connect to Bluetooth capable devices. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) refers to the rate at which the body absorbs RF energy. SAR limits are 1.6 Watts per Kilogram (over a volume containing a mass of 1 gram of tissue) in countries that follow the United States FCC limit and 2.0 W/Kg (averaged over 10 grams of tissue) in countries that follow the Council of the European Union limit. During testing, iPod nano Bluetooth radios are set to their highest transmission levels and placed in positions that simulate use against the body. Avoid cases with metal parts.

Radio frequency interference Observe signs and notices that prohibit or restrict the use of electronic devices (for example, in health care facilities or blasting areas). Although iPod nano is designed, tested, and manufactured to comply with regulations governing radio frequency emissions, such emissions from iPod nano can negatively affect the operation of other electronic equipment, causing them to malfunction. Turn off iPod nano or turn off Bluetooth when use is prohibited, such as while traveling in aircraft, or when asked to do so by authorities.

Medical devices iPod nano contains a radio that emits electromagnetic fields. These electromagnetic fields may interfere with pacemakers or other medical devices. If you wear a pacemaker, maintain at least 6 inches (approximately 15 cm) of separation between your pacemaker and the iPod nano. If you suspect iPod nano is interfering with your pacemaker or any other medical device, stop using iPod nano and consult your physician for information specific to your medical device. The included headphones have magnets in the earbuds, which 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 the earbuds.

Medical conditions If you have any medical condition that you believe could be affected by iPod nano (for example, seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with your physician prior to using iPod nano.

Explosive atmospheres Do not charge or use iPod nano in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, such as at 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.

Repetitive motion When you perform repetitive activities on iPod nano, 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 nano and consult a physician.

Important handling information

Using connectors and ports Never force a connector into a port or apply excessive pressure to a button because this may cause damage that is not covered under 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.

Operating iPod nano in acceptable temperatures iPod nano is designed to be operated in temperatures between 0° and 35° C (32° to 95° F) and stored in temperatures between -20° and 45° C (-4° to 113° F). Low- or high-temperature conditions might temporarily shorten battery life or cause iPod nano to temporarily stop working properly. Leaving iPod nano in a parked vehicle or in direct sunlight can cause iPod nano to exceed these storage or operating temperature ranges. Avoid dramatic changes in temperature or humidity when using iPod nano as condensation may form on or within iPod nano.

When you're using iPod nano or charging the battery, it is normal for iPod nano to get warm. The exterior of iPod nano functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the unit to the cooler air outside.

Keeping the outside of iPod nano clean Clean iPod nano immediately if it comes into contact with any contaminants that may cause stains, for example, ink, dyes, makeup, dirt, food, oils, and lotions. To clean iPod nano, unplug all cables and turn off iPod nano (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button). 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 nano.

Lightning Cable Discoloration of the Lightning to USB Cable connector 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 iPod nano, disconnect the Lightning to USB 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 to USB Cable connector.

Disposing of iPod nano properly For information about the proper disposal of iPod nano, including other important regulatory compliance information, see Disposal and recycling information on page 66.

FCC Compliance Statement

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. See instructions if interference to radio or TV reception is suspected.

Radio and TV Interference

This computer equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed and used properly—that is, in strict accordance with Apple's instructions—it may cause interference with radio and TV reception.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

You can determine whether your computer system is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the computer or one of the peripheral devices.

If your computer system does cause interference to radio or TV reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

• Turn the TV or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the computer to one side or the other of the TV or radio.
• Move the computer farther away from the TV or radio.
• Plug the computer in to an outlet that is on a different circuit from the TV or radio. (That is, make certain the computer and the TV or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

If necessary, consult an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple. See the service and support information that came with your Apple product. Or, consult an experienced radio/TV technician for additional suggestions.

Important: Changes or modifications to this product not authorized by Apple Inc. could void the EMC compliance and negate your authority to operate the product.

It is important that you use Apple peripheral devices and shielded cables and connectors between system components to reduce the possibility of causing interference to radios, TV sets, and other electronic devices. You can obtain Apple peripheral devices and the proper shielded cables and connectors through an Apple Authorized Reseller. For non-Apple peripheral devices, contact the manufacturer or dealer for assistance.
