Bluetooth devices
You can use Bluetooth devices with iPod touch, such as stereo headphones or an Apple Wireless
Keyboard. For supported Bluetooth proles, go to support.apple.com/kb/HT3647.
WARNING: For important information about avoiding hearing loss and avoiding distraction
while driving, see Important safety information on page 133.
Note: The use of certain accessories with iPod touch may aect wireless performance. Not all
iPhone and iPad accessories are fully compatible with iPod touch. Turning on airplane mode may
eliminate audio interference between iPod touch and an accessory. Reorienting or relocating
iPod touch and the connected accessory may improve wireless performance.
Turn on Bluetooth. Go to Settings > Bluetooth.
Connect to a Bluetooth device. Tap the device in the Devices list, then follow the onscreen
instructions to connect to it. See the documentation that came with the device for information
about Bluetooth pairing. For information about using an Apple Wireless Keyboard, see Use an
Apple Wireless Keyboard on page 24.
iPod touch must be within about 30 feet (10 meters) of the Bluetooth device.
Return audio output to iPod touch. Turn o or unpair the device, turn o Bluetooth in Settings >
Bluetooth, or use AirPlay to switch audio output to iPod touch. See AirPlay on page 30. Audio
output returns to iPod touch whenever the Bluetooth device is out of range.
Unpair a device. In Settings > Bluetooth, tap next to the device, then tap “Forget this Device.”
If you don’t see the Devices list, make sure Bluetooth is on.
Restrictions
You can set restrictions for some apps, and for purchased content. For example, parents can
restrict explicit music from appearing in playlists, or disallow changes to certain settings. Use
restrictions to prevent the use of certain apps, the installation of new apps, or changes to
accounts or the volume limit.
Turn on restrictions. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions, then tap Enable Restrictions. You’ll
be asked to dene a restrictions passcode that’s necessary in order to change the settings you
make. This can be dierent than the passcode for unlocking iPod touch.
Important: If you forget your restrictions passcode, you must restore the iPod touch software.
See Restore iPod touch on page 139.
Privacy
Privacy settings let you see and control which apps and system services have access to Location
Services, and to contacts, calendars, reminders, and photos.
Location Services lets location-based apps such as Maps, Camera, and Passbook gather and
use data indicating your location. Your approximate location is determined using available
information from local Wi-Fi networks (if you have Wi-Fi turned on). The location data collected
by Apple isn’t collected in a form that personally identies you. When an app is using Location
Services, appears in the menu bar.
