Apple Laptop - Important Safety Information
WARNING:
Failure
to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric
shock, or other injury or damage.
Avoiding
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.
Handling
your MacBook Pro
Set up your
MacBook Pro on a stable work surface that allows for adequate air
circulation under and around the computer. Do not operate your
MacBook Pro on a pillow or other soft material, as the material can
block the airflow vents. Never place anything over the keyboard
when operating your MacBook Pro. Never push objects into the
ventilation openings.
The bottom of
your MacBook Pro may become very warm during normal use. 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.
Using the 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, remove the battery, and disconnect any other
cables if any of the following conditions exists:
You want to
add memory.
You want to
clean the case (use only the recommended procedure described on
page 66).
The power
cord or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged.
Your MacBook
Pro or power adapter is exposed to rain, excessive moisture, or
liquid spilled into the case.
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.
Handling the
battery
Do not drop,
disassemble, crush, incinerate, or expose the battery to
temperatures above 212° F (100° C). Stop using the battery if it
appears damaged in any way. Replace the battery only with an
Apple-authorized battery for this product. Dispose of used
batteries promptly according to your local environmental
guidelines.
Avoiding
hearing damage
Permanent
hearing loss may occur if earbuds or headphones are used at high
volume. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that
may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing. If you
experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening
and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time
is required before your hearing could be affected.
Hearing
experts suggest that to protect your hearing:
Limit the
amount of time you use earbuds or headphones at high
volume.
Avoid turning
up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
Turn the
volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.

exposure.
