What does the hold button mean??

Question

On my ipod, on the top, there is a switch that says hold... what does this do if it is switched or w/e what is its funtion?? thanks

Answer 1

The hold buttone simply disables the wheel and wheel buttons so if you put your ipod in your pocket for example if your pants rub up against the wheel it wont change the volume level. when the hold button is pushed over so orange is showing then the hold is active and the wheel is disabled, to re enable the wheel just push the button over so the orange is no longer showing

Answer 2

the "hold" button is when you don't want to accidentally press some other button my mistake. like, if you were jogging and u put your ipod in ur pant pocket and sometimes, if u dont push the HOLD button, sometimes when you reach in to change a song but u accidentaly clicked on a button that was the stop button, but if u had HOLD button on, then when you reach in to get the ipod, no matter which other button u press, it wont mess up ur song. Hope this helps. Good luck

Answer 3

When you activate the hold it wont matter if you press buttons on the iPod because it will ignore them, a sort of mechanism to avoid the volume going up and down all the time when you put the iPod in your bag

Answer 4

When you put the hold button ON, it makes it so that if another button is accidentally pressed, nothing will happen. Its a nice feature so that your ipod doesn't accidentally turn on in your purse or something & run the batteries down. Put your pod in the hold position - I believe the orange bar means its on, any time your not listening to it.

Answer 5

It is there so u wont accidentally push a button that would cause the song to stop. When it is on you aren't able to do nothing until u take it off. It is a good thing to keep it on when you are listening when jogging so nothing would interrupt the song
