Basics 

Charge the battery using a power adapter. Connect iPod touch to a power outlet using the 
included cable and a USB power adapter (available separately). 

Note:  Connecting iPod touch to a power outlet can start an iCloud backup or wireless iTunes 
syncing. See 

 on page 133 and 

 on page 16.

The battery icon in the upper-right corner shows the battery level or charging status. 

If iPod touch is very low on power, it may display an image of a nearly depleted 

battery, indicating that iPod touch needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it. 
If iPod touch is extremely low on power, the display may be blank for up to two minutes before 
one of the low-battery images appears.

Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may eventually need to 
be replaced. The iPod touch battery isn’t user replaceable; it can be replaced only by an Apple 
Authorized Service Provider. See 

.

Travel with iPod touch

Some airlines let you keep your iPod touch turned on if you switch to Airplane Mode. Wi-Fi and 
Bluetooth are disabled so you can’t make or receive FaceTime calls or use features that require 
wireless communication, but you can listen to music, play games, watch videos, or use other 
apps that don’t require Internet access. If the airline allows it, you can turn Wi-Fi or Bluetooth 
back on to enable those services, even while in Airplane Mode. 
Turn on Airplane Mode. Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen to open Control Center, 
then tap  . You can also turn Airplane Mode on or off in Settings. When airplane mode is on, 

 appears in the status bar at the top of the screen. 

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth can also be turned on or off in Control Center.
