Water and wet locations Keep your MacBook Pro away from sources of liquid, such as drinks, washbasins, bathtubs, shower stalls, and so on. Protect your MacBook Pro from dampness or wet weather, such as rain, snow, and fog.

85W MagSafe Power Adapter Make sure the AC plug or AC power cord is fully inserted into the power adapter before plugging the adapter into a power outlet. Use only the power adapter that came with your MacBook Pro, or an Apple-authorized power adapter that is compatible with this product. The power adapter may become very warm during normal use. Always plug the power adapter directly into a power outlet, or place it on the floor in a well-ventilated location.

Disconnect the power adapter and disconnect any other cables if any of the following conditions exists:

ÂÂ You want to add memory or upgrade the hard disk drive.

ÂÂ You want to clean the case (use only the recommended procedure described on page 73).

ÂÂ The power cord or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged.

ÂÂ Your MacBook Pro or power adapter is exposed to rain, excessive moisture, or liquid spilled into the case.

ÂÂ Your MacBook Pro or power adapter has been dropped, the case has been damaged, or you suspect that service or repair is required.

The MagSafe power port contains a magnet that can erase data on a credit card, iPod, or other device. To preserve your data, do not place these or other magnetically sensitive material or devices within 1 inch (25 mm) of this port.

If debris gets into the MagSafe power port, remove it gently with a dry cotton swab.
