Proper handling The bottom of your MacBook Pro may become very warm during normal use. The MacBook Pro complies with the user-accessible surface temperature limits defined by the International Standard for Safety of Information Technology Equipment (IEC 60950-1).

To operate the computer safely and reduce the possibility of heat-related injuries, follow these guidelines:

ÂÂ Set up your MacBook Pro on a stable work surface that allows for adequate air circulation under and around the computer.

ÂÂ Do not operate your MacBook Pro on a pillow, blanket, or other soft material, because the material can block the airflow vents.

ÂÂ Do not push objects into the ventilation openings.

ÂÂ If your MacBook Pro is on your lap and gets uncomfortably warm, remove it from your lap and place it on a stable work surface.
