Adjusting the angle of the screen

Adjusting the angle of the screen

You can adjust the angle of the screen to avoid glare and reflections by using the computer’s tilt-and-swivel base. Turn the computer to either side or tilt it slightly back or forward.

For more information on setting up your office for comfort and safety, see Appendix A, “Health, Safety, and Maintenance Tips.”

Connecting other equipment

If you are new to the Macintosh, it’s a good idea to get some experience using your computer before you connect other equipment, such as a printer or scanner. To learn basic Macintosh skills, continue with the instructions in this chapter.

When you’re ready to connect other equipment to your Macintosh, see the instructions in Chapter 3.
