Setting the Sleep Timer


You can configure your iPod to turn itself off automatically after a specific period of time passes. To do this, use the following steps:

1.

Choose Main menu, Extras, Clock, Sleep Timer. You'll see the Sleep menu, which consists of a list of sleep time periods, from Off (meaning that the Sleep Timer is turned off) to 120 Minutes (meaning that the iPod will shut off in 2 hours).

2.

Choose the Sleep Timer setting you want by highlighting it and pressing the Select button.

When you have the sleep timer on and view the Now Playing screen, the current amount of time until the iPod sleeps is shown at the top of the screen (see Figure 6.10). When the counter gets to zero, the iPod will turn itself off. This happens regardless of whether you happen to be listening to music at the time or not. So, if your iPod suddenly shuts off and you don't first see a "battery low" warning, this is likely the reason.

Figure 6.10. This iPod will turn itself off in 29 minutes.
