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 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 videos on your iPod touch. Discontinue use and consult a physician if you experience headaches, blackouts, seizures, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movement, or disorientation. To reduce risk of headaches, blackouts, seizures, and eyestrain, avoid prolonged use, hold iPod touch farther away from your eyes, use iPod touch in a well-lit room, and take frequent breaks. 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 inflates 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. Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Turn off iPod touch when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Do not charge iPod touch, and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in serious injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, marked clearly. Potential areas may include: fueling areas (such as gas stations); fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders); and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Using Connectors, Ports, and Buttons Never force a connector into a port or apply excessive pressure to a button because this may cause damage that is not covered under warranty. Check for obstructions on the port. If the connector and port don't join with reasonable ease, they probably don't match. Check for obstructions and make sure that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port. Accessories and Wireless Performance Not all iPhone accessories are fully compatible with iPod touch. Turning on Airplane Mode on iPod touch may eliminate audio interference between iPod touch and an accessory. When Airplane Mode is on, you cannot use features that require wireless communication. Under some conditions, certain accessories may affect iPod touch wireless performance. Reorienting or relocating iPod touch and the connected accessory may improve wireless performance. Keeping iPod touch Within Acceptable Temperatures iPod touch is designed to be operated in temperatures between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F) and stored in temperatures between -20º and 45º C (-4º to 113º F). Low- or high-temperature conditions might temporarily shorten battery life or cause iPod touch to temporarily stop working properly. Leaving iPod touch in a parked vehicle or in direct sunlight can cause iPod touch to exceed
