Safety, Handling, & Support
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 
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-party “Made for iPod” cables 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.
