Monitoring an iPod s Battery

Monitoring an iPod's Battery

Even though the iPod's battery lasts a long time, it will eventually run out of juice and your music can come to a crashing halt. To prevent this, keep an eye on your iPod's Battery icon (see Figure 4.14). As your battery drains, the shaded part of the battery will decrease to indicate how much power you have left. When 1/4 or less is shaded, you should think about recharging your iPod. (For more information about the iPod's battery, see Chapter 11, "Maintaining an iPod and Solving Problems.")
