Information Guide  
						

							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 damage  Permanent hearing loss may occur if earbuds or headphones are used at high volume. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may  sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing.  If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing: ÂLimit the amount of time you use earbuds or headphones at high volume. ÂAvoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.  ÂTurn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.High-risk activities  This computer is not intended for use in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communications systems, air traffic control systems, or for any other uses where a failure of the computer system 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:  0 to 10,000 feet (0 to 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.Carrying your iMac  Before you lift or reposition your iMac, shut it down and disconnect all cables and cords connected to it. To lift your iMac, hold its sides.

Important Safety and Handling Information
WARNING:   Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock, or other injury or damage to iMac or other property.
Proper handling  Set up your iMac on a stable work surface. Never push objects into the ventilation openings. Water and wet locations  Keep your iMac away from sources 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.Power  Unplug the power cord (by pulling the plug, not the cord) and disconnect the ethernet cable or phone cord if any of the following conditions exist: ÂThe power cord or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged ÂYou spill something into the case ÂYour iMac is exposed to rain or excess moisture ÂYour iMac has been dropped or the case has been damaged ÂYou suspect that your iMac needs service or repair ÂYou want to clean the case (use only the recommended procedure described later in this document)Important:  The only way to turn off 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 your iMac when you need to.Power specifications ÂVoltage:  100 to 240 V AC  ÂCurrent:  3 A, maximum  ÂFrequency:  50 to 60 Hz 
						

							Understanding ErgonomicsHere are some tips for setting up a healthy work environment.
KeyboardWhen you use the keyboard, your shoulders should be relaxed. Your upper arm and forearm should form an approximate right angle, with your wrist and hand in roughly a straight line.Change hand positions often to avoid fatigue. Some computer users might develop discomfort in their hands, wrists, or arms after intensive work without breaks. If you begin to develop chronic pain or discomfort in your hands, wrists, or arms, consult a qualified health specialist.
MousePosition the mouse at the same height as the keyboard and within a comfortable reach.
ChairAn adjustable chair that provides firm, comfortable support is best. Adjust the height of the chair so your thighs are horizontal and your feet are flat on the floor. The back of the chair should support your lower back (lumbar region). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for adjusting the backrest to fit your body properly.You might have to raise your chair so that your forearms and hands are at the proper angle to the keyboard. If this makes it impossible to rest your feet flat on the floor, you can use a footrest with adjustable height and tilt to make up for any gap between the floor and your feet. Or you can lower the desktop to eliminate the need for a footrest. Another option is to use a desk with a keyboard tray that’s lower than the regular work surface.
DisplayArrange the display so that the top of the screen is slightly below eye level when you’re sitting at the keyboard. The best distance from your eyes to the screen is up to you, although most people seem to prefer 18 to 28 inches (45 to 70 cm).Position the display to minimize glare and reflections on  the screen from overhead lights and nearby windows.  The stand lets you set the display at the best angle for viewing, helping to reduce or eliminate glare from lighting sources you can’t move.More information about ergonomics is available on the web: www.apple.com/about/ergonomics
Apple and the EnvironmentApple Inc. recognizes its responsibility to minimize the environmental impacts of its operations and products. More information is available on the web: www.apple.com/environment
Using connectors and ports  Never force a connector into a port. When connecting a device, make sure the port is free of debris, that the connector matches the port, and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.Storing your iMac  If you are going to store your iMac  for an extended period of time, keep it in a cool location (ideally, 71° F or 22° C).
Do Not Make Repairs YourselfYour iMac doesn’t have any user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to open your iMac. If your iMac needs service, contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple for service. If you open your iMac or install items, you risk damaging your equipment. Such damage isn’t covered by the limited warranty on your iMac.
WARNING:  Never push objects of any kind into this product through the ventilation openings in the case. Doing so may be dangerous and damage your computer.
Cleaning your iMacFollow these guidelines when cleaning the outside of your iMac and its components:  ÂShut down your iMac and disconnect all cables. ÂUse a damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the exterior  of your iMac. Avoid getting moisture in any openings.  Do not spray liquid directly on your iMac.  ÂDon’t use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives.
Cleaning Your iMac DisplayUse a clean, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the display.To clean your iMac display, do the following: ÂShut down your iMac and disconnect all cables. ÂDampen a clean, soft, lint-free cloth with water only, and then wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen.
Cleaning Your MouseTo clean the outside of your mouse, use a lint-free cloth that’s been lightly moistened with water. Don’t get moisture in any openings or use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives.

Make a note of the error code before pursuing support options. If AHT doesn’t detect a hardware failure, the problem might be software related.Important:  If Apple Hardware Test doesn’t appear after restarting, hold down the Command (x), Option, and D keys and restart the computer to access Apple Hardware Test from the Internet. Be sure to reconnect your Ethernet cable. Your computer must be connected to a network that has access to the Internet.
