Unbox the iPod touch and Charge It

Once you have gotten your iPod touch, your first move is to unbox it, identify the components, and set the iPod touch to charge.

To get the best battery life out of your iPod touch, you should first fully charge the battery, even if it came partly charged. So no matter how eager you are to set up your iPod touch, sync it with iTunes or iCloud, and start using it, take a few hours to charge it fully first.

Unbox the iPod touch and Charge It

Open the iPod touch’s box, and remove its contents.

Make sure you have the iPod touch itself and the following components:

A The EarPods headset.

B The USB-to-Lightning cable.

C The iPod touch loop.

Peel the protective stickers off the front and back of the iPod touch.

Connect the USB end of the USB cable to a USB port on your computer.
