Using iPod 57
Charging the iPod Battery
iPod has an internal, non–user–replaceable battery. If iPod isn’t used for a while, the
battery may need to be charged.
The iPod battery is 80-percent charged in about three hours, and fully charged in about
five hours. If you charge iPod while transferring files, playing music or viewing a
slideshow, it may take longer.
You can charge the iPod battery in two ways:
• Connect iPod to your computer.
• Use the iPod USB Power Adapter.
To charge the battery using your computer:
n
Connect iPod to a high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer. The computer must be
turned on and not in sleep mode (some models of Macintosh can charge iPod while in
sleep mode).
Important: While songs, photos, or files are transferred using USB 2.0, the iPod battery
loses charge. Transferring songs or files when iPod isn’t sufficiently charged can cause
incomplete transfer or loss of the information being transferred, and you may have to
restore your software (see page 69). It’s best to charge iPod using the iPod Power
Adapter before transferring songs or files.
If the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the iPod screen shows a lightning bolt,
the battery is charging. If it shows a plug, the battery is fully charged.
