Page 67 highlights

Charging iPod To charge iPod, use only: the included Apple Dock Connector to USB Cable with an Apple USB Power Adapter or a high-power USB port on another device that is compliant with the USB 2.0 standard; another Apple-branded product or accessory designed to work with iPod touch; or a third-party accessory certified to use Apple's "Made for iPod" logo. Read all safety instructions for any products and accessories before using with iPod. Apple is not responsible for the operation of third-party accessories or their compliance with safety and regulatory standards. If you use the Apple USB Power Adapter to charge iPod, make sure that the power adapter is fully assembled before you plug it into a power outlet. Then insert the Apple USB Power Adapter firmly into the power outlet. Do not connect or disconnect the Apple USB Power Adapter with wet hands. Do not use any power adapter other than the Apple USB Power Adapter to charge iPod. The Apple USB Power Adapter may become warm during normal use. Always allow adequate ventilation around the Apple USB Power Adapter and use care when handling. Unplug the Apple USB Power Adapter if any of the following conditions exist: Â The power cord or plug has become frayed or damaged. Â The adapter is exposed to rain, liquid, or excessive moisture. Â The adapter case has become damaged. Â You suspect the adapter needs service or repair. Â You want to clean the adapter. Avoiding Hearing Damage Permanent hearing loss may occur if the earbuds or headphones are used at high volume. Set the volume to a safe level. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing: Â Limit the amount of time you use the earbuds or headphones at high volume. Â Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings. Â Turn the volume down if you can't hear people speaking near you. For information about how to set a maximum volume limit on iPod, see "Set a volume limit for music and videos" on page 63.

Avoiding Hearing Damage
Permanent hearing loss may occur if the earbuds or headphones are used at high
volume. Set the volume to a safe level. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of
sound that may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing. If you experience
ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked.
The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected.
Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:
Â
Limit the amount of time you use the earbuds or headphones at high volume.

Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
