Appendix C Safety, handling, and support 155
Radio frequency interference Observe signs and notices that prohibit or restrict the use of
electronic devices (for example, in healthcare facilities or blasting areas). Although iPod touch
is designed, tested, and manufactured to comply with regulations governing radio frequency
emissions, such emissions from iPod touch can negatively aect the operation of other electronic
equipment, causing them to malfunction. Turn o iPod touch or use Airplane Mode to turn o
the iPod touch wireless transmitters when use is prohibited, such as while traveling in aircraft, or
when asked to do so by authorities.
Medical device interference iPod touch contains components and radios that emit
electromagnetic elds. iPod touch also contains magnets and the included headphones also
have magnets in the earbuds. These electromagnetic elds and magnets may interfere with
pacemakers, debrillators, or other medical devices. Maintain a safe distance of separation
between your medical device and iPod touch and the earbuds. Consult your physician and
medical device manufacturer for information specic to your medical device. If you suspect
iPod touch is interfering with your pacemaker, debrillators, or any other medical device, stop
using iPod touch.
Not a medical device iPod touch and the Health app are not designed or intended for use in
the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention
of disease.
Medical conditions If you have any medical condition that you believe could be aected by
iPod touch (for example, seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with your physician
prior to using iPod touch.
Explosive atmospheres Charging or using iPod touch in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, such as areas where the air contains high levels of ammable chemicals,
vapors, or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders), may be hazardous. Obey all signs
and instructions.
Repetitive motion When you perform repetitive activities such as typing or playing games on
iPod touch, you may experience discomfort in your hands, arms, wrists, shoulders, neck, or other
parts of your body. If you experience discomfort, stop using iPod touch and consult a physician.
High-consequence activities This device is not intended for use where the failure of the device
could lead to death, personal injury, or severe environmental damage.
iPod touch loop (available on some models) To attach the loop securely, press the button
on the back of iPod touch to pop it up, slip the loop tab over the button, then pull the loop
to snap it into place. Certain activities when using the iPod touch loop may pose a risk of
injury, especially if the loop becomes caught or trapped—for example, while working around
machinery. Don’t swing iPod touch while using the loop, as the loop might come o, causing
injury or damage.
Choking hazard Some iPod touch accessories may present a choking hazard to small children.
