mNever force a connector into a port. Make sure that the connector matches the port and that it’s right side up. If the connector and port do not join easily, they do not match.

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 trackpad. 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 Apple-authorized service provider for cleaning.

mDo not touch the screen with any sharp or pointed objects.

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

mUse only the power adapter supplied with your computer, or an identical model. Adapters designed for other electronic devices may not work with your equipment and may damage it.

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

Important

mUse the computer only in environments where the temperature range is between 50°F/10°C and 104°F/40°C.

mDo not expose the computer to very low (less than –13°F/–25°C) or very high (more than 140°F/60°C) temperatures.

mIf the computer has been in a cold place for several hours, let it warm up to room temperature before you use it.

mClean the computer’s outside surfaces with a damp (not wet) cloth. Clean the screen with soft, lint-free paper or cloth and a mild glass cleaner. Do not spray the glass cleaner directly onto the screen.
