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 the optical drive

slot 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.

Storing your Mac mini If you are going to store your Mac mini for an extended period

of time, keep it in a cool location (ideally, 71° F or 22° C).

Cleaning your Mac mini When cleaning the outside of your Mac mini and its

components, first shut down your Mac mini and unplug the power adapter. Then use a

damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the computer’s exterior. Avoid getting moisture in

any openings. Do not spray liquid directly on the computer. Do not use aerosol sprays,

solvents, or abrasives that might damage the finish.

Here are some tips for setting up a healthy work environment.

Keyboard

When you use the keyboard, your shoulders should be relaxed. Your upper arm and

forearm should form an approximate right angle, with your wrist and hand in roughly a

straight line.
