GETTING STARTED

                                    WITH YOUR SWIMMAN WATERPROOF IPOD SHUFFLE

  
1.    IMPORTANT NOTE:  The two slide buttons on the bottom of the iPod have been fixed in place in the ON and CONTINUOUS PLAY positions.  DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SLIDE THESE BUTTONS, without the explicit instructions from SWIMMAN, or for Reset purposes only, AS DOING SO MAY COMPROMISE THE WATERPROOFING AND MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY.  Instead of using the OFF slide button, simply disconnect the Headset from the iPod.  The iPod will continue to blink for approximately 60-90 seconds and then turn itself off.  The function of the “Shuffle“ slide button is controlled through iTunes on your computer (shuffle your Playlist).  

    Due to the nature of the waterproofing materials and processes, the control buttons on the top face of the iPod may be slightly stiffer than a non-waterproofed iPod Shuffle.  With use, the buttons will become less stiff.

SWIMMAN WATERPROOFED iPOD 1GB SHUFFLE CARE*
Always connect your SWIMMAN Waterproof Headset to the SWIMMAN Waterproofed iPod before entering the water.
After EACH USE you must follow the four (4) care procedures below*:
STEP #1: Keep the Headset connected to the iPod until you are out of the water.
STEP #2: Disconnect the Headset from iPod. This will electronically turn off the iPod in about 90 seconds.
STEP #3: After each use, carefully rinse off the entire iPod, Headset, Wires, Plug, Jack and Earbuds with FRESH, CLEAN water. Flick or shake out any water that may be in the iPod headset jack or water within the black Tubes and Earbud openings. Dry the iPod and Headset thoroughly, and hang Headset over a railing, towel bar or chair to drain and dry. Allow the iPod jack to drain with the jack opening facing down on a towel.
STEP #4: Store in a dry place with the headset disconnected. Do NOT store in a baggie or other material that does not breathe, as this will not allow residual moisture to escape!
Performing these important steps after each and every use will prolong the life of your SWIMMAN Waterproofed iPod and SWIMMAN Waterproof Headset! Chlorine and salt water are very corrosive and eventually weaken all materials. Good, regular care helps retard such damage.
* Failure to perform the above care steps with each use may void the warranty.

iPOD   ISSUES?

The first of Apple’s 5 R’s will conquer most iPod issues.  

First of all, make sure your iPod is charged.  Charge your iPod directly through a USB port on your computer— not via a wall charger, hub or keyboard port.   If charging your iPod does not solve the problem, or you are unable to charge your iPod, continue with the step below.

STEP 1:  To RESET iPod 1GB shuffle:

a.  Eject your iPod shuffle from iTunes or your desktop, if connected.   To eject from iTunes, click Eject symbol to the right of your iPod under Devices (left-hand side of iTunes window).

To eject from your Desktop, In the Notifications area of the Taskbar, left-click the Safely Remove Hardware icon.  (Note: If you do not see the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Taskbar, you can simply remove iPod shuffle from the dock.)  Choose Safely Remove USB Mass Storage Device from the shortcut menu. If you have other USB drives attached, you may need to repeat this if you're not sure which drive letter corresponds to your iPod.

b.  Remove iPod shuffle from the dock.

c.  Move the power switch on the bottom of iPod shuffle to the OFF position and HOLD it in this position for 10 seconds.*
d.  Push the power switch all the way to the "on" position. The green stripe will be visible.  iPod shuffle is now reset.

*Only use this ON/OFF slide switch for resetting your iPod and not for routine ON/OFF functions as described above. You have SWIMMAN's permission to move this On/Off button as instructed above for this instance.  Your warranty will remain in force as originally described. SWIMMAN will take full responsibility for any damage caused by moving this button for reset purposes only.
