mDo not use the computer in wet or dusty environments.

mKeep dirt and liquids away from the ports on the back panel, the keyboard, and the trackball. If you spill any food or liquid onto the computer, shut it down immediately and unplug it before cleaning up the spill. Depending on what you spilled and how much got into the computer, you may have to bring the computer to an authorized Apple service provider for cleaning.

mUse only the battery supplied with your computer. Batteries designed for other portable computers may look similar, but they may not work with your computer and may damage it.

mWhen recharging the battery, use only the power adapter supplied with your computer. Adapters designed for other electronic devices may not work with your equipment and may damage the computer or the recharger.

mDo not leave batteries in hot locations (such as the trunk of a car).
