Make requests
Siri lets you speak to iPod touch to send messages, schedule meetings, make FaceTime calls, and much more. Siri understands natural speech, so you don’t have to learn special commands or keywords. Ask Siri anything, from “set the timer for 3 minutes” to “what movies are showing tonight?” Open apps, and turn features like Airplane Mode, Bluetooth, Do Not Disturb, and
VoiceOver on or of. Siri is great for keeping you updated with the latest sports info, helping you decide on a restaurant, and searching the iTunes Store or App Store for purchases.
Note: To use Siri, iPod touch must be connected to the Internet. See
on
Summon Siri. Press and hold the Home button until Siri beeps, then make your request.
Control when Siri listens. Instead of letting Siri notice when you stop talking, you can continue to hold down the Home button while you speak, and release it when you inish.
Hey Siri. With iPod touch connected to a power source (or if you’ve already started a conversation with Siri), you can use Siri without even pressing the Home button. Just say “Hey
Siri,” then make your request. To turn Hey Siri on or of, go to Settings > General > Siri > Allow
“Hey Siri”.
If you’re using a headset, you can use the center or call button in place of the Home button.
For hints, ask Siri “what can you do,” or tap .
Depending on your request, the onscreen response from Siri often includes information or images that you can tap for additional detail, or to perform some other action like searching the web or opening a related app.
Change the voice gender for Siri. Go to Settings > General > Siri (may not be available in all areas).
Adjust the volume for Siri. Use the volume buttons while you’re interacting with Siri.

Siri and apps
Siri works with many of the apps on iPod touch, including FaceTime, Messages, Maps, Clock,
Calendar, and more. For example, you can say things like:
•
“FaceTime Mom”
•
“Do I have any new texts from Rick?”
•
“I’m running low on gas”
•
“Set an alarm for 8 a.m.”
•
“Cancel all my meetings on Friday”
More examples of how you can use Siri with apps appear throughout this guide.
Tell Siri about yourself
If you tell Siri about yourself—including things like your home and work addresses, and your relationships—you can get personalized service like, “remind me to call my wife” or “get directions to home.”
Tell Siri who you are. Fill out your info card in Contacts, then go to Settings > General > Siri >
My Info and tap your name.
To let Siri know about a relationship, say something like “Emily Parker is my wife.”
Note: Siri uses Location Services when your requests require knowing your location. See
Make corrections
If Siri doesn’t get something right, you can tap to edit your request.
Or tap again, then clarify your request verbally.
Want to cancel that last command? Say “cancel,” tap the Siri icon, or press the Home button.

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:

Operate the rotor.
Rotate two ingers on the screen around a point between them.
Choose your rotor options. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Rotor, then select the options you want to include in the rotor.
The available rotor options and their efects depend on what you’re doing. For example, if you’re reading an email, you can use the rotor to switch between hearing text spoken word-by-word or character-by-character when you swipe up or down. If you’re browsing a webpage, you can set the rotor to speak all the text (either word-by-word or character-by-character), or to jump from one item to another of a certain type, such as headers or links.
When you use an Apple Wireless Keyboard to control VoiceOver, the rotor lets you adjust settings such as volume, speech rate, use of pitch or phonetics, typing echo, and reading of punctuation.

Hearing aids
If you have Made for iPhone hearing aids, you can use iPod touch to adjust their settings, stream audio, or use iPod touch as a remote mic.
Pair with iPod touch. If your hearing aids aren’t listed in Settings > General > Accessibility >
Hearing Aids, you need to pair them with iPod touch. To start, open the battery door on each hearing aid. Next, on iPod touch, go to Settings > Bluetooth, then make sure Bluetooth is turned on. Then go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing Aids. Close the battery doors on your hearing aids and wait until their name appears in the list of devices (this could take a minute).
When the name appears, tap it and respond to the pairing request.
When pairing is inished, you hear a series of beeps and a tone, and a checkmark appears next to the hearing aids in the Devices list. Pairing can take as long as 60 seconds—don’t try to stream audio or otherwise use the hearing aids until pairing is inished.
You should only need to pair once (and your audiologist might do it for you). After that, each time you turn your hearing aids back on, they reconnect to iPod touch.
Adjust hearing aid settings and view status. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing
Aids, or choose Hearing Aids from the Accessibility Shortcut. See
For shortcut access from the Lock screen, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing Aids, then turn on Control on Lock Screen. Use the settings to:

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).
Appendix A
Accessibility
144
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.
•
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
Turn on Switch Control. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control, or use the
Accessibility Shortcut. See
Accessibility Shortcut on page 128.
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.

Create your own gesture. You can add your own favorite gestures to the control menu (for example, tap and hold or two-inger rotation). Tap the menu button, tap Favorites, then tap an empty gesture placeholder. Or go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Create
New Gesture.
Example 1: To create the rotation gesture, go to Settings > General > Accessibility >
AssistiveTouch > Create New Gesture. On the gesture recording screen that prompts you to touch to create a gesture, rotate two ingers on the iPod touch screen around a point between them. (You can do this with a single inger or stylus—just create each arc separately, one after the other.) If it doesn’t turn out quite right, tap Cancel, then try again. When it looks right, tap
Save, then give the gesture a name—maybe “Rotate 90.” Then, to rotate the view in Maps, for example, open Maps, tap the AssistiveTouch menu button, and choose Rotate 90 from Favorites.
When the blue circles representing the starting inger positions appear, drag them to the point around which you want to rotate the map, then release. You might want to create several gestures with diferent degrees of rotation.
Example 2: Let’s create the touch-and-hold gesture that you use to start rearranging icons on your Home screen. This time, on the gesture recording screen, hold down your inger in one spot until the recording progress bar reaches halfway, then lift your inger. Be careful not to move your inger while recording, or the gesture will be recorded as a drag. Tap Save, then name the gesture. To use the gesture, tap the AssistiveTouch menu button, then choose your gesture from
Favorites. When the blue circle representing your touch appears, drag it over a Home screen icon and release.
If you record a sequence of taps or drags, they’re all played back at the same time. For example, using one inger or a stylus to record four separate, sequential taps at four locations on the screen creates a simultaneous four-inger tap.
Exit a menu without performing a gesture. Tap anywhere outside the menu. To return to the previous menu, tap the arrow in the middle of the menu.
Move the menu button. Drag it anywhere along the edge of the screen.
Adjust your accessory tracking speed. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility >

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).
•
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.
