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. 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. Accessories and Wireless Performance 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 these storage or operating temperature ranges. Avoid dramatic changes in temperature or humidity when using iPod touch as condensation may form on or within iPod touch. When you're using iPod touch or charging the battery, it is normal for iPod touch to get warm. The exterior of iPod touch functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the unit to the cooler air outside. Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy iPod touch contains radio transmitters and receivers. When on, iPod touch receives and sends out radio frequency (RF) energy through its antenna. The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® antenna is located near the front upper left corner of iPod touch as you hold the end containing the dock connector facing down. iPod touch is designed and manufactured to comply with the limits for exposure to RF energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States, Industry Canada (IC) of Canada, and regulating entities of Japan, the European Union, and other countries. The exposure standard employs a unit of measurement known as the specific absorption rate, or SAR. iPod touch has been tested as a body-worn device, and meets the SAR exposure requirements for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth operation. If you are still concerned about exposure to RF energy, you can limit your exposure by limiting the amount of time using iPod touch in wireless mode, since time is a factor in how much exposure a person receives, and by placing more distance between your body and iPod touch, since exposure level drops off dramatically with distance.
