AC power cord

AC plug

Use the AC power cord and connect it to a grounded power outlet when one is available. Use only the AC power cord that came with your power adapter. Make sure to push the power plug snugly into the power adapter port on the computer to ensure it is engaged and power is flowing to the computer. If the cord is plugged in properly, you’ll see a glowing indicator light on the end of the cord that plugs into your MacBook.

When disconnecting the power adapter from an outlet or from the computer, pull the plug, not the cord. For safety instructions about using your power adapter, see “Setting Up Your MacBook and Power Adapter” on page 105.
