Important

m If the computer has been in a cold place for several hours, let it warm up to

room temperature before you use it.

m Use the computer only in environments where the temperature range is

between 50°F/10°C and 104°F/40°C.

m Do not expose the computer to very low (less than –13°F/–25°C) or very

high (more than 140°F/60°C) temperatures.

m Clean the computer’s outside surfaces with a damp (not wet) cloth. Clean

the screen with soft, lint-free paper or cloth and a mild glass cleaner. Do
not spray the glass cleaner directly onto the screen.

Caring for batteries

m Always handle batteries carefully.
m Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do not touch both

terminals with a metal object). Doing so may cause an explosion or a fire.

m Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate, or incinerate the battery.
m Recharge batteries only as described in this manual and only in ventilated

areas.

m Do not leave batteries in hot locations (such as the trunk of a car) for more

than a day or two.

m Do not leave a battery in your computer for longer than a week without

plugging in the power adapter.

m Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than 6 months without

recharging it.

m Take dead batteries to an Apple-authorized service provider for recycling or

proper disposal. The batteries contain hazardous chemicals and should not
be thrown out with household or office trash.
