Avoiding Hearing Damage
Permanent hearing loss may occur if the 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 muπ ed speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked.
The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing
could be a∂ ected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your
hearing:
Limit the amount of time you use the 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 the iPod touch Features Guide.
Driving Safely
Use of iPod alone, or with headphones (even if used only in one
ear) while operating a vehicle is not recommended and is illegal in
some areas. Check and obey the laws and regulations on the use of
mobile devices like iPod touch in areas where you drive. Be careful
and attentive while driving. Stop using iPod if you fi nd it disruptive
or distracting while operating any type of vehicle, or performing any
activity that requires your full attention.
Navigating Safely
If your iPod has applications that provide maps, directions and
location-based navigation assistance, these applications should only
be used for basic navigation assistance and should not be relied on to
determine precise locations, proximity, distance or direction.
Maps, directions and location-based applications provided by Apple
depend on data collected and services provided by third parties.
These data services are subject to change and may not be available
in all geographic areas, resulting in maps, directions or location-based
information that may be unavailable, inaccurate or incomplete. See
www.apple.com/ipodtouch for more information. Compare the
information provided on iPod to your surroundings and defer to
posted signs to resolve any discrepancies.
