Important Safety and Handling Information Built-in battery Do not remove the battery from your MacBook Pro. The battery should be replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider. Discontinue use of your MacBook Pro if it’s dropped or appears crushed, bent, deformed, or damaged. Do not expose your MacBook Pro to extreme heat sources, such as radiators or fireplaces, where temperatures might exceed 212°F (100°C). For information about battery recycling and replacement, see www.apple.com/batteries. Proper handling Handle your MacBook Pro with care. It is made of metal, glass, and plastic and has sensitive electronic components inside. Your MacBook Pro can be damaged if dropped, burned, punctured, or crushed, or if it comes in contact with liquid. Don’t disassemble your MacBook Pro and don’t attempt to repair your MacBook Pro by yourself. Disassembling your MacBook Pro may damage it or may cause injury to you. If your MacBook Pro is damaged, malfunctions, or comes in contact with liquid, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. Don’t use a damaged MacBook Pro, such as one with a cracked screen, as it may cause injury. The bottom of your MacBook Pro may become very warm during normal use. The MacBook Pro complies with the user-accessible surface temperature limits defined by the International Standard for Safety of Information Technology Equipment (IEC 60950-1). To operate the computer safely and reduce the possibility of heat-related injuries, follow these guidelines: ÂSet up your MacBook Pro on a stable work surface that allows for adequate air circulation under and around the computer. ÂDo not operate your MacBook Pro on a pillow, blanket, or other soft material, because the material can block the airflow vents. ÂNever place anything over the keyboard when operating your MacBook Pro. ÂDo not push objects into the ventilation openings.
Carrying your MacBook Pro If you carry your MacBook Pro in a bag or briefcase, make sure that there are no loose items (such as paper clips or coins) that could accidentally get inside the computer through vent openings or get stuck inside a port. Also, keep magnetically sensitive items away from the MagSafe 2 power port. 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. Handling glass parts Your MacBook Pro contains glass components, including the display and trackpad. If they are damaged, don’t use your MacBook Pro until it has been repaired by an Apple Authorized Service Provider. Storing your MacBook Pro If you are going to store your MacBook Pro for an extended period of time, keep it in a cool location (ideally, 71° F or 22° C) and discharge the battery to 50 percent. When storing your computer for longer than five months, discharge the battery to approximately 50 percent. To maintain the capacity of the battery, recharge the battery to 50 percent every six months or so. Cleaning your MacBook Pro When cleaning the outside of your MacBook Pro and its components, first shut down your MacBook Pro, and then unplug the power adapter. Then dampen the included cleaning cloth to wipe the MacBook Pro exterior. Avoid getting moisture in any openings. Do not spray liquid directly on the computer. Do not use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives that might damage the finish. Cleaning the MacBook Pro screen To clean your MacBook Pro screen, first shut down your MacBook Pro and unplug the power adapter. Then dampen the included cleaning cloth with just water and wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen. Understanding ErgonomicsHere are some tips for setting up a healthy work environment. Keyboard and TrackpadWhen you use the keyboard and trackpad, your shoulders should be relaxed. Your upper arm and forearm should form an angle that is slightly greater than a right angle, with your wrist and hand in roughly a straight line. Not this This The MagSafe 2 power port (where you plug in the MagSafe 2 power connector) contains a magnet that can erase data on a credit card, iPod, or other device. To preserve your data, do not place these or other magnetically sensitive material or devices within 1 inch (25 mm) of this port. If debris gets into the MagSafe 2 power port, remove it gently with a dry cotton swab. 60W MagSafe 2 power specifications (13-inch model): Frequency: 50 to 60 Hz, single phase Line Voltage: 100 to 240 V Output Voltage: 16.5 V DC, 3.65 A 85W MagSafe 2 power specifications (15-inch model): Frequency: 50 to 60 Hz, single phase Line Voltage: 100 to 240 V Output Voltage: 20 V DC, 4.25 A 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. ÂFor more information about hearing loss, see www.apple.com/sound. Medical conditions If you have any other medical condition that you believe could be affected by your MacBook Pro (for example, seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with your physician prior to using your MacBook Pro. 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 MacBook Pro 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)
Learning More, Service, and SupportYour MacBook Pro does not have any user-serviceable parts. If you need service, contact Apple or take your MacBook Pro to an Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can find more information about your MacBook Pro through Help Center, online resources, System Information, and Apple Hardware Test. Help CenterYou can often find answers to your questions, as well as instructions and troubleshooting information, in Help Center on your Mac. Click the Finder icon, click Help in the menu bar, and choose Help Center. Online ResourcesFor online service and support information, go to www.apple.com/support and choose your country from the pop-up menu. You can search the AppleCare Knowledge Base, check for software updates, or get help from Apple’s discussion forums. System InformationTo get information about your MacBook Pro, use System Information. It shows you what hardware and software is installed, the serial number and operating system version, how much memory is installed, and more. To open System Information, choose Apple () > About This Mac from the menu bar and then click More Info. Apple Hardware TestYou can use the Apple Hardware Test (AHT ) application to help determine if there’s a problem with one of the computer’s components, such as the memory or processor. To use Apple Hardware Test: Disconnect all external devices from your computer except the power adapter. Restart your computer and hold down the D key as it starts up. When the AHT chooser screen appears, select the language for your location. Press the Return key or click the right arrow button. When the AHT main screen appears (after about 45 seconds), follow the onscreen instructions. If AHT detects a problem, it displays an error code. 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. AppleCare Service and SupportYour MacBook Pro comes with 90 days of technical support and one year of hardware repair warranty coverage at an Apple Retail Store or an Apple-authorized repair center, such as an Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can extend your coverage by purchasing the AppleCare Protection Plan. For information, visit www.apple.com/support/products or visit the website address for your country listed later in this section. Use a light touch when typing or using the trackpad and keep your hands and fingers relaxed. Avoid rolling your thumbs under your palms. Not this ThisChange 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. External MouseIf you use an external mouse, position 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. Built-In DisplayAdjust the angle of the display to minimize glare and reflections from overhead lights and windows. Do not force the display if you meet resistance. The display is not designed to open past 135 degrees. You can adjust the brightness of the screen when you take the computer from one work location to another, or if the lighting in your work area changes.
