Consult the service and support information that came with your computer for instructions on how to contact an Apple- authorized service provider or Apple for service. If you attempt to install additional RAM or an AirPort Card yourself, any damage you may cause to your equipment will not be covered by the limited warranty on your computer. See an Apple-authorized dealer or service provider for additional information about this or any other warranty question.

2Wipe the surfaces lightly with a clean, soft cloth.
