If you press pause while recording audio, iPod's battery may be depleted if you don't subsequently stop recording.

iPod

Symptom

iPod's battery is depleted even though you haven't used iPod very much. The last thing you did was pause a voice recording.


Solution

Pausing voice recording can quickly deplete iPod's battery. Turn off voice recording when you've finished instead of pausing.

Do one of the following:

  • Press Menu to exit the Voice Memo screen.
  • Select Resume and then Pause again.

Either of these allows the hard drive to turn off or "spin down". Selecting Stop and Save also allows the hard drive to spin down.
