Discontinue use and consult a physician if you experience: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movements, or disorientation. To reduce the risk of blackout, seizures, and eyestrain, avoid prolonged use, hold iPod classic some distance from your eyes, use iPod classic in a well lit room, and take frequent breaks. Repetitive motion When you perform repetitive activities such as playing games on iPod classic, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body.

Safety and Cleaning
Seizures, blackouts, and eye strain
A small percentage of people may be susceptible
to blackouts or seizures (even if they have never had one before) when exposed to
flashing 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 video on
iPod classic. Discontinue use and consult a physician if you experience: convulsion, eye
or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movements, or disorientation. To
reduce the risk of blackout, seizures, and eyestrain, avoid prolonged use, hold
iPod classic some distance from your eyes, use iPod classic in a well lit room, and take
frequent breaks.
Repetitive motion
When you perform repetitive activities such as playing games on
iPod classic, 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.
Important Handling Information

cases, a hard drive. Do not bend, drop, or crush iPod classic. If you are concerned about
scratching iPod classic, you can use one of the many cases sold separately.
Using connectors and ports
Never force a connector into a port. Check for
obstructions on the port. If the connector and port don’t 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.
Keeping iPod classic within acceptable temperatures
Operate iPod classic in a place
where the temperature is always between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F). iPod classic play
time might temporarily shorten in low-temperature conditions.
Store iPod classic in a place where the temperature is always between -20º and 45º C
(-4º to 113º F). Don’t leave iPod classic in your car, because temperatures in parked cars
can exceed this range.
When you’re using iPod classic or charging the battery, it is normal for iPod classic to
get warm. The exterior of iPod classic functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat
from inside the unit to the cooler air outside.
