Important Safety Information

WARNING:  Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock, or other injury or damage.

Built-in battery Do not remove the battery from your MacBook Pro. The battery should be replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider. Discontinue use of your MacBook Pro if it is dropped or appears crushed, bent, deformed, or damaged. Do not expose the computer to temperatures above 212° F or 100° C.

Proper handling Set up your MacBook Pro on a stable work surface that allows for adequate air circulation under and around the computer. Do not operate your MacBook Pro on a pillow or other soft material, as the material can block the airflow vents. Never place anything over the keyboard when operating your MacBook Pro. Never push objects into the ventilation openings.

The bottom of your MacBook Pro may become very warm during normal use. If your MacBook Pro is on your lap and gets uncomfortably warm, remove it from your lap and place it on a stable work surface.
