You can sync voice memos with the iTunes library on your computer, and listen to them on your
computer or sync them with another iPod touch or iPhone.
When you delete a synced voice memo from iTunes, it stays on the device where it was recorded,
but it’s deleted from any other iPod touch or iPhone you synced. If you delete a synced voice
memo on iPod touch, it’s copied back to iPod touch the next time you sync with iTunes, but you
can’t sync that copy back to iTunes a second time.
Sync voice memos with iTunes. Connect iPod touch to your computer. Open iTunes on your
computer, then select iPod touch. Select Music at the top of the screen, select Sync Music, select
“Include voice memos,” then click Apply.
Voice memos synced from iPod touch to your computer appear in the Music list and in the Voice
Memos playlist in iTunes. Voice memos synced from your computer appear in the Voice Memos
app on iPod touch, but not in the Music app.

•Control Live Listen.
Stream audio to your hearing aids. Stream audio from Siri, Music, Videos, and more by choosing
your hearing aids from the AirPlay menu .
Use iPod touch as a remote microphone. You can use Live Listen to stream sound from the
microphone in iPod touch to your hearing aids. This can help you hear better in some situations
by positioning iPod touch nearer the sound source. Triple-click the Home button, choose Hearing
Aids, then tap Start Live Listen.
Use your hearing aids with more than one iOS device. If you pair your hearing aids with more
than one iOS device (both iPhone and iPod touch, for example), the connection for your hearing
aids automatically switches from one to the other when you do something that generates audio
on the other device, or when you receive a phone call on iPhone. Changes you make to hearing
aid settings on one device are automatically sent to your other iOS devices. To take advantage of
this, all of the devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network and signed into iCloud using the same
Apple ID.

Switch Control
Switch Control lets you control iPod touch using a single switch or multiple switches. Use any
of several methods to perform actions such as selecting, tapping, dragging, typing, and even
free-hand drawing. The basic technique is to use a switch to select an item or location on the
screen,andthenusethesame(ordierent)switchtochooseanactiontoperformonthatitem
or location. Three basic methods are:
•Item scanning (default),whichhighlightsdierentitemsonthescreenuntilyouselectone.
•Point scanning, which lets you use scanning crosshairs to pick a screen location.
•Manual selection, which lets you move from item to item on demand (requires multiple
switches).
Whichever method you use, when you select an individual item (rather than a group), a menu
appears so you can choose how to act on the selected item (tap, drag, or pinch, for example).

Add a switch and turn on Switch Control
You can use any of these as a switch:
•An external adaptive switch. Choose from a variety of popular USB or Bluetooth switches.
•The iPod touch screen. Tap the screen to trigger the switch.
Apple Confidential
Appendix A Accessibility 142
•The iPod touch FaceTime camera. Move your head to trigger the switch. You can use the camera
as two switches: one when you move your head to the left, and the other when you move
your head to the right.
Add a switch and choose its action. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control >
Switches. If you use only one switch, it is your Select Item switch by default.
If you’re adding an external switch, you need to connect it to iPod touch before it will appear
in the list of available switches. Follow the instructions that came with the switch. If it connects
using Bluetooth, you need to pair it with iPod touch—turn on the switch, go to Settings >
Bluetooth, tap the switch, then follow the onscreen instructions. For more information, see
Bluetooth devices on page 36.
Turn on Switch Control. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control, or use the
Accessibility Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut on page 125.
Turn o Switch Control. Use any scanning method to select, then tap Settings > General >
Accessibility > Switch Control. Or triple-click the Home button.
Basic techniques
Whether you use item scanning or point scanning, the Switch Control basics are the same.
Select an item. While the item is highlighted, trigger the switch you’ve set up as your Select Item
switch. If you are using a single switch, it is your Select Item switch by default.
Perform an action on the selected item. Choose a command from the control menu that
appears when you select the item. The layout of the menu depends on whether you use
Auto Tap.
•With Auto Tap o: The control menu includes only the Tap button and the More button (two
dots at the bottom). If you’re in a scrollable area of the screen, a Scroll button also appears.
To tap the highlighted item, trigger your Select Item button when Tap is highlighted. To see
additional action buttons, choose More at the bottom of the menu. If you have multiple
switches,youcansetoneupspecicallyfortapping.
•With Auto Tap on: To tap the item, do nothing—the item is automatically tapped when the
Auto Tap interval expires (0.75 seconds if you haven’t changed it). To see the control menu,
trigger your Select Item button before the Auto Tap interval expires. The control menu skips
the Tap button and goes right to the full set of action buttons.
Turn on Auto Tap. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Auto Tap. To tap an
item with Auto Tap on, just wait for the Auto Tap interval to expire.
Dismiss the control menu without choosing an action. Tap while the original item is
highlighted and all the icons in the control menu are dimmed. Or choose Escape from the
control menu. The menu goes away after cycling the number of times you specify at Settings >
General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Loops.
Perform screen gestures. Choose Gestures from the control menu.
Scroll the screen. Select an item in a scrollable part of the screen, then:
•With Auto Tap o: Choose the Scroll Down button (next to the Tap button) in the control
menu. Or, for more scrolling options, choose More, then choose Scroll.
•With Auto Tap on: Choose Scroll from the control menu. If many actions are available, you
mighthavetochooseMorerst.
Tap the Home button. Choose Home from the control menu.

These techniques work whether you’re scanning by item or by point.
Item scanning
Item scanning alternately highlights each item or group of items on the entire screen until
you trigger your Select Item switch. If there are many items, Switch Control highlights them in
groups. When you select a group, highlighting continues with the items in the group. When you
select a unique item, scanning stops and the control menu appears. Item scanning is the default
whenyourstturnonSwitchControl.
Select an item or enter a group. Watch (or listen) as items are highlighted. When the item you
want to control (or the group containing the item) is highlighted, trigger your Select Item switch.
Work your way down in the hierarchy of items until you select the individual item you want
to control.
Back out of a group. Trigger your Select Item switch when the dashed highlight around the
group or item appears.
Dismiss the control menu without performing an action. Trigger your Select Item switch when
the item itself is highlighted. Or choose Escape from the control menu.
Hear the names of items as they are highlighted. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
Switch Control, then turn on Speech. Or choose Settings from the control menu, then choose
Speech On.
Slow down the scanning. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control > Auto
Scanning Time.
Point scanning
Point scanning lets you select an item on the screen by pinpointing it with scanning crosshairs.
Switch to point scanning. Use item scanning to choose Point Mode from the control menu. The
vertical crosshair appears when you close the menu.
Select an item. Trigger your Select Item switch when the item you want is within the broad,
horizontalscanningband,thentriggeragainwhenthenescanninglineisontheitem.Repeat

that prohibit or restrict the use of mobile devices or headphones.
Navigation Maps, directions, Flyover, and location-based apps depend on data services.
These data services are subject to change and may not be available in all areas, resulting in
maps, directions, Flyover, or location-based information that may be unavailable, inaccurate, or
incomplete. Some Maps features require Location Services. Compare the information provided
on iPod touch to your surroundings and defer to posted signs to resolve any discrepancies. Do
not use these services while performing activities that require your full attention. Always comply
with posted signs and the laws and regulations in the areas where you are using iPod touch and
always use common sense.

shock, injury, or damage to iPod touch or other property. When you use the Apple USB Power
Adapter (sold separately) to charge iPod touch, make sure the USB cable is fully inserted into the
power adapter before you plug the adapter into a power outlet.
Lightning cable and connector Avoid prolonged skin contact with the connector when the
Lightning to USB Cable is plugged into a power source because it may cause discomfort or
injury. Situations such as sleeping or sitting on the Lightning connector should be avoided.
Prolonged heat exposure iPod touch and its power adapter (available separately) comply
with applicable surface temperature standards and limits. However, even within these limits,
sustained contact with warm surfaces for long periods of time may cause discomfort or injury.
Use common sense to avoid situations where your skin is in contact with a device or its power
adapter when it’s operating or plugged into a power source for long periods of time. For
example, don’t sleep on a device or power adapter, or place them under a blanket, pillow, or your
body, when it’s plugged into a power source. It’s important to keep iPod touch and its power
adapter in a well-ventilated area when in use or charging. Take special care if you have a physical
conditionthataectsyourabilitytodetectheatagainstthebody.
Hearing loss Listening to sound at high volumes may damage your hearing. Background noise,
as well as continued exposure to high volume levels, can make sounds seem quieter than they
actually are. Turn on audio playback and check the volume before inserting anything in your ear.
For more information about hearing loss, see www.apple.com/sound. For information about how
to set a maximum volume limit on iPod touch, see Music settings on page 64.
To avoid hearing damage, use only compatible receivers, earbuds, headphones, speakerphones,

Important handling information
Cleaning Clean iPod touch immediately if it comes in contact with anything that may cause
stains—such as dirt, ink, makeup, or lotions. To clean:
•DisconnectallcablesandturniPodtoucho(pressandholdtheSleep/Wakebutton,then
slide the onscreen slider).
Apple Confidential
Appendix C Safety, handling, and support 153
•Use a soft, lint-free cloth.
•Avoid getting moisture in openings.
•Don’t use cleaning products or compressed air.
ThefrontofiPodtouchismadeofglasswithangerprint-resistantoleophobic(oilrepellant)
coating. This coating wears over time with normal usage. Cleaning products and abrasive
materials will further diminish the coating, and may scratch the glass.
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 the warranty. 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.
Lightning to USB Cable Discoloration of the Lightning connector after regular use is normal.
Dirt, debris, and exposure to moisture may cause discoloration. If your Lightning cable or
connector become warm during use or iPod touch won’t charge or sync, disconnect it from your
computer or power adapter and clean the Lightning connector with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do
not use liquids or cleaning products when cleaning the Lightning connector.
Certain usage patterns can contribute to the fraying or breaking of cables. The Lightning to USB
Cable, like any other metal wire or cable, is subject to becoming weak or brittle if repeatedly bent
in the same spot. Aim for gentle curves instead of angles in the cable. Regularly inspect the cable
andconnectorforanykinks,breaks,bends,orotherdamage.Shouldyoundanysuchdamage,
discontinue use of the Lightning to USB Cable.
Operating temperature iPod touch is designed to work in ambient temperatures between
32° and 95° F (0° and 35° C) and stored in temperatures between -4° and 113° F (-20° and 45° C).
iPod touch can be damaged and battery life shortened if stored or operated outside of these
temperature ranges. Avoid exposing iPod touch to dramatic changes in temperature or humidity.
When you’re using iPod touch or charging the battery, it is normal for iPod touch to get warm.
If the interior temperature of iPod touch exceeds normal operating temperatures (for example, in
a hot car or in direct sunlight for extended periods of time), you may experience the following as
it attempts to regulate its temperature:
•iPod touch stops charging.
•The screen dims.
•A temperature warning screen appears.
•Some apps may close.
Important: You may not be able to use iPod touch while the temperature warning screen is
displayed. If iPod touch can’t regulate its internal temperature, it goes into deep sleep mode
until it cools. Move iPod touch to a cooler location out of direct sunlight and wait a few minutes
before trying to use iPod touch again.
