Driving and riding safely Use of iPod nano alone, or with headphones (even if used in only one ear) while operating a vehicle is not recommended and is illegal in some areas. Check and obey the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices like iPod nano in areas where you drive or ride. Be careful and attentive while driving or riding a bicycle. Stop using iPod nano if you find it disruptive or distracting while operating any type of vehicle, or performing any other activity that requires your full attention. 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, please consult a physician before playing games (if available) or watching videos on your iPod nano. Discontinue use and consult a physician if you experience: headaches, blackouts, seizures, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movements, or disorientation. To reduce risk of headaches, blackouts, seziures, and eyestrain, avoid prolonged use, hold iPod nano some distance from your eyes, use iPod nano in a well lit room, and take frequent breaks. Glass parts The outside cover of the display on iPod nano is made of glass. This glass could break if iPod nano 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 nano 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 playing games on iPod nano, 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. Exercising Before starting any exercise program, you should have a complete physical examination by your physician. Do a warmup or stretching exercise before beginning any workout. Be careful and attentive while exercising. Slow down, if necessary, before adjusting your device while running. Stop exercising immediately if you feel pain, or feel faint, dizzy, exhausted, or short of breath. By exercising, you assume the risks inherent in physical exercise, including any injury that may result from such activity. Chapter 10 Safety and Cleaning 95
