Keep iPod Comfy
Although you can store your iPod in temps from -4° F to 113° F, be sure to let it warm up or cool down to an operating temperature of 32° F to 95° F.
Don't leave your iPod in a vehicle's interior when parked in the sun. Also, don't leave iPod exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
Do not charge iPod while it is in a carrying case or cover.
Save the Battery
Put iPod to sleep to save battery life. Press the Play button until iPod goes to sleep.
Charge the battery every 14 to 18 days when not in use. Even when iPod is off it is in a sleeping state that requires power. Without use, iPod's battery needs to be charged about every 14 to 18 days to be ready for use.
