For best results, always use the AC power cord and connect it to a grounded power

outlet when one is available. Use only the AC power cord that came with your power

adapter. Make sure to push the power plug snugly into the power adapter port on the

computer to ensure it is engaged and power is flowing to the computer. If the cord is

plugged in properly, you will see an indicator light on the end of the cord that plugs

into your MacBook Pro.

When disconnecting the power adapter from a power outlet or from the computer,

pull the plug, not the cord. For safety instructions about using your power adapter,

see “Setting Up Your MacBook Pro and Power Adapter” on page 106.

Using the Trackpad

How quickly the pointer moves onscreen is based on how quickly you move your

finger across the trackpad. To move the pointer a short distance, move your finger

slowly across the trackpad; the faster you move your finger, the farther the pointer

moves onscreen.
