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.

VoiceOver
VoiceOver describes aloud what appears onscreen, so you can use iPod touch without seeing it.
VoiceOver tells you about each item on the screen as you select it. The VoiceOver cursor (a
rectangle) encloses the item and VoiceOver speaks its name or describes it.
Touch the screen or drag your inger over it to hear the items on the screen. When you select
text, VoiceOver reads the text. If you turn on Speak Hints, VoiceOver may tell you the name of the
item and provide instructions—for example, “double-tap to open.” To interact with items, such as
buttons and links, use the gestures described in Learn VoiceOver gestures on page 128.
When you go to a new screen, VoiceOver plays a sound, then selects and speaks the irst item
of the screen (typically in the upper-left corner). VoiceOver also lets you know when the display
changes to landscape or portrait orientation, and when the screen becomes dimmed or locked.
Note: VoiceOver speaks in the language speciied in Settings > General > Language & Region.
VoiceOver is available in many languages, but not all.
VoiceOver Basics
Important: VoiceOver changes the gestures you use to control iPod touch. When VoiceOver is on,
you must use VoiceOver gestures to operate iPod touch—even to turn VoiceOver of.
Turn VoiceOver on or of. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, or use the
Accessibility Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut above.

Learn VoiceOver gestures
When VoiceOver is on, standard touchscreen gestures have diferent efects, and additional
gestures let you move around the screen and control individual items. VoiceOver gestures
include two-, three-, and four-inger taps and swipes. For best results using multi-inger gestures,
relax and let your ingers touch the screen with some space between them.
You can use diferent techniques to perform VoiceOver gestures. For example, you can perform
a two-inger tap using two ingers on one hand, or one inger on each hand. You can even use
your thumbs. Some people use a split-tap gesture: instead of selecting an item and doubletapping, touch and hold an item with one inger, then tap the screen with another inger.
Try diferent techniques to discover which works best for you. If a gesture doesn’t work, try a
quicker movement, especially for a double-tap or swipe gesture. To swipe, try brushing the
screen quickly with your inger or ingers.
In VoiceOver settings, you can enter a special area where you can practice VoiceOver gestures
without afecting iPod touch or its settings.
Practice VoiceOver gestures. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then tap
VoiceOver Practice. When you inish practicing, tap Done. If you don’t see the VoiceOver Practice
button, make sure VoiceOver is turned on.
Here are some key VoiceOver gestures:

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, and then use the same (or diferent) switch to choose an action to perform on that item
or location. Three basic methods are:
•
Item scanning (default), which highlights diferent items on the screen until you select one.
•
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).
If you use multiple switches, you can set up each switch to perform a speciic action and
customize your item selection method. For example, instead of automatically scanning screen
items, you can set up switches to move to the next or previous item on demand.
You can adjust the behavior of Switch Control in a variety of ways, to suit your speciic needs
and style.
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.
Appendix A Accessibility
141
Apple Confidential
•
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 of 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 of: 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, you can set one up speciically for tapping.
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 of: 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
might have to choose More irst.
Tap the Home button. Choose Home from the control menu.

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
when you irst turn on Switch Control.
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

Apple Confidential
Radio frequency interference Observe signs and notices that prohibit or restrict the use of
electronic devices (for example, in healthcare facilities or blasting areas). Although iPod touch
is designed, tested, and manufactured to comply with regulations governing radio frequency
emissions, such emissions from iPod touch can negatively afect the operation of other electronic
equipment, causing them to malfunction. Turn of iPod touch or use Airplane Mode to turn of
the iPod touch wireless transmitters when use is prohibited, such as while traveling in aircraft, or
when asked to do so by authorities.
Medical device interference iPod touch contains components and radios that emit
electromagnetic ields. iPod touch also contains magnets and the included headphones also
have magnets in the earbuds. These electromagnetic ields and magnets may interfere with
pacemakers, deibrillators, or other medical devices. Maintain a safe distance of separation
between your medical device and iPod touch and the earbuds. Consult your physician and
medical device manufacturer for information speciic to your medical device. If you suspect
iPod touch is interfering with your pacemaker or any other medical device, stop using
iPod touch.
Not a medical device iPod touch and the Health app are not designed or intended for use in
the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention
of disease.
Medical conditions If you have any medical condition that you believe could be afected by
iPod touch (for example, seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with your physician
prior to using iPod touch.
Explosive atmospheres Charging or using iPod touch in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, such as areas where the air contains high levels of lammable chemicals,
vapors, or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders), may be hazardous. Obey all signs
and instructions.
Repetitive motion When you perform repetitive activities such as typing or playing games on
iPod touch, you may experience discomfort in your hands, arms, wrists, shoulders, neck, or other
parts of your body. If you experience discomfort, stop using iPod touch and consult a physician.

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:
•
Disconnect all cables and turn iPod touch of (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, then
slide the onscreen slider).
Appendix C Safety, handling, and support
152
Apple Confidential
•
Use a soft, lint-free cloth.
•
Avoid getting moisture in openings.
•
Don’t use cleaning products or compressed air.
The front of iPod touch is made of glass with a ingerprint-resistant oleophobic (oil repellant)
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
and connector for any kinks, breaks, bends, or other damage. Should you ind any such damage,
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.
