Important care and safety instructions

For your own safety and that of your equipment, read and follow all the
instructions in this section. Keep these instructions available for reference by
you and others.

Warning

m Electrical equipment may be hazardous if misused. Operation of this

product, or similar products, must always be supervised by an adult. Do not
allow children access to the interior of any electrical product and do not
permit them to handle any cables.

m Do not use the computer in or near water.
m Do not use cables that are frayed or otherwise damaged. Hold a cable by its

connector (the plug, not the cord) when connecting or disconnecting it.

m Always handle batteries carefully.
m Do not drop, puncture, mutilate, or burn the computer or battery.
m Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and only in ventilated

areas.

m Transport batteries either inside the computer or with the protective cap

covering the battery contacts.

m Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do not allow a metal

object such as a paper clip or key chain to touch the terminals). Doing so
may cause an explosion or a fire.

Caution

m If you have a problem with your computer and nothing in the computer

manuals solves the problem, take the computer to your Apple-authorized
dealer or service provider. Attempting to repair the computer yourself may
void the limited warranty.

m Do not move the computer when you can hear its hard disk spinning.

When you put the computer to sleep, wait until the screen is blank before
moving the computer.
