Safety and Cleaning 69
Using the Power Adapter
• Use only the power adapter that came with your iPod. Adapters for other
electronic devices may look similar, but they may damage your iPod.
• The only way to shut off power to your power adapter completely is to
disconnect it from the power source.
• Always leave space around your power adapter. Do not use this equipment in a
location where airflow around the power adapter is confined, such as a
bookcase.
• When connecting or disconnecting your power adapter, always hold the power
adapter by its sides. Keep fingers away from the metal part of the plug.
• Before connecting the USB cable to the power adapter, make sure there are no
foreign objects inside the power adapter’s USB port.
• The power adapter for your iPod is a high-voltage component and should not
be opened for any reason, even when the iPod is off. If the power adapter
needs service, see “Learning More, Service, and Support” on page 65.
• Never force a connector into the power adapter USB port. If the connector and
port do not join with reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Make sure
that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned the connector
correctly in relation to the port.
