special A-Tick label   for Australia. This label must be applied to the compliance 
symbols on the bottom of the computer after the modem is installed.
There are two sizes of A-Tick labels included in the kit. Please apply t\

the two labels so that it covers the C-tick symbol  on the bottom of the Mac mini. 
On the original Mac mini computers, the C-tick symbol can be found on th\

 part of the
