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.
Using the optical drive		 The	SuperDrive	in	your	iMac	supports	standard	12	cm
(4.7	inch)	discs. 	Irregularly	shaped	discs	or	discs	smaller	than	12	cm	(4.7	inches)	are	
not	supported.
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).
Cleaning Your iMac
Follow	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 Display
Use	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 Mouse
You	may	need	to	clean	your	mouse	from	time	to	time	to	remove	dirt	and	dust	that	has	
accumulated. 	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.
If	you	use	a	wired	Apple	Mouse	with	your	iMac, 	hold	the	mouse	upside-down	and	roll	
the	scroll	ball	vigorously	with	a	clean, 	soft,	lint-free	cloth, 	to	help	dislodge	any	particles	
that	may	interfere	with	proper	scrolling.
Understanding Ergonomics
Here	are	some	tips	for	setting	up	a	healthy	work	environment.
Keyboard
When	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.
Mouse 
Position 	the 	mouse 	at 	the 	same 	height 	as 	the 	keyboard 	and 	within 	a 	comfortable 	reach.

Chapter 5      Last, but Not Least
Display
Arrange	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.

Chair
An	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, 	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.

Regulatory Compliance Information
FCC Compliance StatementThis	device	complies	with	part	15	of	the	FCC	rules.	Operation	
is	subject	to	the	following	two	conditions: 		(1)	This	device	may	
not	cause	harmful	interference, 	and	(2)	this	device	must	accept	
any	interference	received, 	including	interference	that	may	cause	
undesired	operation. 	See	instructions	if	interference	to	radio	or	
television	reception	is	suspected.
Radio and Television Interference
This	computer	equipment	generates, 	uses,	and	can	radiate	radio-
frequency	energy. 	If	it	is	not	installed	and	used	properly—that	
is, 	in	strict	accordance	with	Apple’s	instructions—it	may	cause	
interference	with	radio	and	television	reception. 	
This	equipment	has	been	tested	and	found	to	comply	with	
the	limits	for	a	Class	B	digital	device	in	accordance	with	the	
specifications	in	Part	15	of	FCC	rules. 	These	specifications	
are	designed	to	provide	reasonable	protection	against	such	
interference	in	a	residential	installation. 	However,	there	is	
no	guarantee	that	interference	will	not	occur	in	a	particular	
installation. 	
You	can	determine	whether	your	computer	system	is	causing	
interference	by	turning	it	off. 	If	the	interference	stops,	it	was	
probably	caused	by	the	computer	or	one	of	the	peripheral	devices.
If	your	computer	system	does	cause	interference	to	radio	or	
television	reception, 	try	to	correct	the	interference	by	using	one	or	
more	of	the	following	measures:
•	 Turn	the	television	or	radio	antenna	until	the	interference	stops. 	
•	 Move	the	computer	to	one	side	or	the	other	of	the	television	
or	radio. 	
•	 Move	the	computer	farther	away	from	the	television	or	radio. 	
•	 Plug	the	computer	into	an	outlet	that	is	on	a	different	circuit	
from	the	television	or	radio. 	( That	is,	make	certain	the	computer	
and	the	television	or	radio	are	on	circuits	controlled	by	different	
circuit	breakers	or	fuses.)	
If	necessary, 	consult	an	Apple	Authorized	Service	Provider	or	
Apple. 	See	the	service	and	support	information	that	came	with	
your	Apple	product. 	Or	consult	an	experienced	radio/television	
technician	for	additional	suggestions. 	Important: 
Changes	or	modifications	to	this	product	not	
authorized	by	Apple	Inc. 	could	void	the	EMC	compliance	and	
negate	your	authority	to	operate	the	product.
This	product	has	demonstrated	EMC	compliance	under	conditions	
that	included	the	use	of	compliant	peripheral	devices	and	shielded	
cables	between	system	components. 	It	is	important	that	you	
use	compliant	peripheral	devices	and	shielded	cables	(including	
Ethernet	network	cables)	between	system	components	to	reduce	
the	possibility	of	causing	interference	to	radios, 	television	sets,	and	
other	electronic	devices.
