Navigating Safely If your iPod touch 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 touch to your surroundings and defer to
posted signs to resolve any discrepancies.
Do not use maps, directions or location-based applications while performing activities that require
your full attention. For important information about driving safety, see the previous section.
Always comply with posted signs and the laws and regulations in the areas where you are using
iPod touch.
Seizures, Blackouts, and Eyestrain A small percentage of people may be susceptible to
blackouts or seizures (even if they have never had one before) when exposed to ashing lights or
light patterns such as when playing games or watching video. If you have experienced seizures
or blackouts or have a family history of such occurrences, you should consult a physician before
playing games (if available) or watching videos on your iPod touch. Discontinue use and consult
a physician if you experience convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary
movement, or disorientation. To reduce risk of blackout, seizures, and eyestrain, avoid prolonged
use, hold iPod touch some distance from your eyes, use iPod touch in a well lit room and take
frequent breaks.
Glass Parts The outside cover of the iPod touch screen is made of glass. This glass could break
if iPod touch is dropped on a hard surface or receives a substantial impact. If the glass chips or
cracks, do not touch or attempt to remove the broken glass. Stop using iPod touch until the glass
is replaced by an Apple Authorized Service Provider. Glass cracked due to misuse or abuse is not
covered under the warranty.
Repetitive Motion When you perform repetitive activities such as typing or playing games on
iPod touch, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or
other parts of your body. Take frequent breaks and if you have discomfort during or after such use,
stop use and see a physician.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag An air bag inates with great force. Do not store
iPod touch or any of its accessories in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy iPod touch contains radio transmitters and receivers.
When on, iPod touch can receive and send out radio frequency (RF) energy through its antenna.
The antenna is located near the back upper left corner of iPod touch as you hold the end
containing the dock connector facing down. iPod touch is designed and manufactured to comply
with the limits for exposure to RF energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of
the United States, Canada, Europe, and other countries. The exposure standard employs a unit of
measurement known as the specic absorption rate, or SAR.
