Apple Mac mini (Late 2014) - Manual (Page 2)

Hearing loss Listening to sound at high volumes may
damage your hearing. Background noise, as well as continued
exposure to high-volume levels, can make sounds seem
quieter than they actually are. Use only compatible earbuds,
headphones, or earpieces with your Mac mini. Turn on the
audio and check the volume before inserting anything into
your ear. For more information about hearing loss, see
www.apple.com/sound.
WARNING: To prevent possible hearing damage, do not
listen at high-volume levels for long periods.
Medical conditions If you have a medical condition that you
believe could be affected by using Mac mini (for example,
seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with
your physician prior to using Mac mini.
High-consequence activities This computer is not intended
for use where the failure of the computer could lead to
death, personal injury, or severe environmental damage.
Turning on your Mac mini Never turn on your Mac mini
unless all of its internal and external parts are in place.
Operating your Mac mini when parts are missing may be
dangerous and may damage your Mac mini.
Carrying your Mac mini Before you lift or reposition your
Mac mini, shut it down and disconnect all cables and cords
connected to it. If you carry your Mac mini in a bag or
briefcase, make sure that there are no loose items (such as
paper clips or coins) that could accidentally get inside the
computer through vent openings or get stuck inside a port.
Using connectors and ports Never force a connector into
a port. When connecting a device, make sure the port is
free of debris, that the connector matches the port, and
that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation
to the port.

Mac mini and unplug the power cord. Then use a damp, soft,
lint-free cloth to clean the computer’s exterior. Avoid getting

Important Safety and Handling
Information
Proper handling Set up your Mac mini on a stable work
surface that allows for adequate air circulation under and
around the computer. Do not operate your Mac mini on a
pillow or other soft material, as the material can block the
airflow vents. Never push objects into the ventilation openings.
Water and wet locations Keep your Mac mini away from
sources of liquid, such as drinks, washbasins, bathtubs,
shower stalls, and so on. Protect your Mac mini from
dampness or wet weather, such as rain, snow, and fog.
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:
Â
Limit the amount of time you use earbuds or headphones
at high volume.
Â
Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy
surroundings.
Â
Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking
near you.
