Safety
Make sure that you
m keep these instructions handy for reference by you and others who
may use your computer
m follow all instructions and warnings regarding your system
When setting up and using your computer, remember the following:
m Place your computer in a location with adequate ventilation. Never
block the vents on the computer.
m Your computer has a three-wire grounding plug that will only fit a
grounded AC outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into the
outlet, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a
properly grounded outlet.
m Make sure you only connect the modem to an analog phone line,
the type commonly used in residences. Do not connect a digital
telephone line to the modem, because it could damage the
modem.
m Never turn on your computer unless all of its internal and external
parts are in place. Operating the computer when it is open or
missing parts can be dangerous and damage your computer.
Important The only way to disconnect power completely is to
unplug the power cord. Make sure at least one end of the power cord
is within easy reach so that you can unplug the computer when you
need to.
For your own safety and that of your equipment, always disconnect the
power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cord) if any of the following
conditions exists:
m you want to remove any parts (leave the cord disconnected as long
as the computer is open)
m the power cord or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged
m you spill something into the case
m your computer is exposed to rain or any other excess moisture
m your computer has been dropped or the case has been otherwise
damaged
m you suspect that your computer needs service or repair
m you want to clean the case (use only the recommended procedure
discussed in Mac Help)
Be sure that you always do the following:
m Keep your computer away from sources of liquids, such as drinks,
washbasins, bathtubs, shower stalls, and so on.
m Protect your computer from dampness or wet weather, such as
rain, snow, and so on.
