Apple Mac Mini 19 manual Avoiding Hearing Damage

Page 72

ÂThe only way to disconnect power completely is to unplug the power cord. Make sure you pull the plug, not the cord.

Important: The power adapter for your computer is a high-voltage component and should not be opened for any reason, even when it’s unplugged. Do not allow children access to the interior of any electrical product and do not permit them to handle any cables. If the power adapter needs service, see “Learning More, Service, and Support” on page 64.

Warning: Use only the power adapter that came with your computer and the AC cord that came with your power adapter. Adapters and cords for other electronic devices may look similar, but using them may affect your computer’s performance or damage the computer. The AC power cord has a three-wire grounding plug (a plug that has a third grounding pin) that will fit only a grounded AC outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug in to an outlet because the outlet is not grounded, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded outlet.

Avoiding Hearing Damage

Warning: Permanent hearing loss may occur if earbuds or headphones are used at high volume. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound, which may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing. Set your Mac mini volume to a safe level before that happens. If you experience ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use of earbuds or headphones with your Mac mini.
