Conserve power
iPod nano intelligently manages battery life while you listen. To save power, the iPod nano screen
dims if you don’t touch it for twenty seconds, and then turns o. To turn the screen on or o
again, press the Sleep/Wake button.
When there’s no activity on iPod nano (no audio or video is playing and no motion is detected if
steps are being counted), it turns o automatically. To turn iPod nano back on when it turns o
this way, press the Sleep/Wake button.
You can also turn o iPod nano completely by holding down the Sleep/Wake button for a few
seconds. When you turn iPod nano o this way, hold down the Sleep/Wake button for a few
seconds to turn it back on.
Turning iPod nano o:
•
Stops music or other audio that’s playing
•
Clears paused radio
•
Stops a slideshow if one is playing
•
Stops playing video if one is playing
•
Saves a voice memo if one is being recorded
•
Stops counting steps
•
Stops and saves Nike+ workout data
While iPod nano is turned o, you won’t hear any alarm if a timer expires. When you turn
iPod nano on again, alarms that haven’t expired will occur as scheduled.
If you’re not connected to or using a Bluetooth device, turn o Bluetooth in Settings > Bluetooth
to conserve power.
Set up iTunes syncing
iTunes is the free app you use to sync music, audiobooks, podcasts, photos, videos, and iTunes U
collections between your computer and iPod nano, and to send workouts to the Nike+ website.
You need iTunes 12.2 or later to use iPod nano features.
You can preview and download content from the iTunes Store (not available in all countries) to
iTunes on your computer. To learn about iTunes and the iTunes Store, open iTunes and choose
Help > iTunes Help.
Sync automatically
When you connect iPod nano to your computer, iPod nano is updated to match the items in
your iTunes library. When the update is done, a message in iTunes says “iPod update is complete,”
and a bar at the bottom of the iTunes window displays how much disk space is used by dierent
types of content. You can sync iPod nano automatically with only one computer at a time.
Important: The rst time you connect iPod nano to a computer that it’s not synced with, a
message asks if you want to sync songs automatically. If you accept, all songs, audiobooks,
and other content are erased from iPod nano and replaced with songs and other items from
that computer.
You can prevent iPod nano from syncing when you connect it to a computer other than the one
you usually sync with.
