Chapter 8 Safety and Cleaning
Important Handling Information
NOTICE: Failure to follow these handling instructions could result in damage to iPod or other property. Carrying iPod iPod contains sensitive components, including, in some cases, a hard drive. Do not bend, drop, or crush iPod. If you are concerned about scratching iPod, you can use one of the many cases sold separately. Using connectors and ports Never force a connector into a port.
