Important safety and handling information – Apple iMac (Late 2013, Mid 2014) User Manual
Page 2
Power specifications (27-inch model):
Â
Voltage: 100 to 240 V AC
Â
Current: 4 A, maximum
Â
Frequency: 50 to 60 Hz
WARNING: Your AC cord has a three-wire grounding
plug (a plug that has a third grounding pin). This plug
fits only a grounded AC outlet. If you are unable to insert
the plug into an outlet because the outlet isn’t grounded,
contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a
properly grounded outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of
the grounding plug.
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 iMac. Turn on the audio
and check the volume before inserting anything into your ear.
For more information about hearing loss, see
.
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 iMac (for example,
seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with
your physician prior to using iMac.
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.
Operating environment Operating your iMac outside these
ranges may affect performance:
Operating temperature: 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)
Storage temperature: -4° to 113° F (-20° to 45° C)
Relative humidity: 5% to 90% (noncondensing)
Operating altitude: tested up to 10,000 feet (3048 meters)
Do not operate your iMac in areas with significant amounts
of airborne dust, or smoke from cigarettes, cigars, ashtrays,
stoves, or fireplaces, or near an ultrasonic humidifier using
unfiltered tap water. Tiny airborne particles produced by
smoking, cooking, burning, or using an ultrasonic humidifier
with unfiltered water may, in rare instances, enter the
ventilation openings of your iMac and, under certain
conditions, result in a slight haze on the inside surface of the
glass panel that covers the iMac display.
Turning on your iMac Never turn on your iMac unless all
of its internal and external parts are in place. Operating your
iMac when parts are missing may be dangerous and may
damage your iMac.
This Important Product Information Guide contains safety,
handling, disposal and recycling, regulatory, and software

of liquid, such as drinks, washbasins, bathtubs, shower stalls,
and so on. Protect your iMac from dampness or wet weather,
such as rain, snow, and fog.

of the following conditions exist:

27-inch models only)

The power cord or plug becomes frayed or otherwise
damaged
