Important safety information
WARNING:
Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock, or other
injuries, or damage to your MacBook Pro or other property. Read all safety information below
before using your MacBook Pro.
Built-in battery. Don’t attempt to replace or remove the battery yourself—you may damage the
battery, which could cause overheating and injury. The lithium-ion battery in your MacBook Pro
should be replaced by Apple or an authorized service provider, and must be recycled or disposed
of separately from household waste. Don’t expose your MacBook Pro to extreme heat sources,
such as radiators or fireplaces, where temperatures might exceed 212°F (100°C).

Handling. Handle your MacBook Pro with care. It is made of metal, glass, and plastic and has
sensitive electronic components inside. Place your MacBook Pro on a stable work surface that
allows for adequate air circulation under and around the computer. Your MacBook Pro can be
damaged if dropped, burned, punctured, or crushed, or if it comes in contact with liquids, oils,
or lotions. Don’t use a damaged MacBook Pro, such as one with a cracked screen, as it may
cause injury.
Liquid exposure. Keep your MacBook Pro away from sources of liquid, such as drinks, oils, lotions,
washbasins, bathtubs, shower stalls, and so on. Protect your MacBook Pro from dampness,
humidity, or wet weather, such as rain, snow, and fog.
Repairing. Your MacBook Pro doesn’t have any user-serviceable parts. Do not open or
disassemble MacBook Pro or attempt to repair it or replace any components. Disassembling your
MacBook Pro may damage it or may cause injury to you. If your MacBook Pro needs service, is
damaged, malfunctions, or comes in contact with liquid, contact Apple or an Apple-authorized
repair center, such as an Apple Authorized Service Provider. If you attempt to open your
MacBook Pro, you risk damaging your computer, and such damage isn’t covered by the limited
warranty on your MacBook Pro.
