Information Guide  
						

							Hearing loss  Listening to sound at high volumes may damage your hearing. Background noise, as well as continued exposure to high-volume levels, can make sounds seem quieter than they actually are. Use only compatible earbuds, headphones, or earpieces with your Mac mini. Turn on the audio and check the volume before inserting anything into your ear. For more information about hearing loss, see www.apple.com/sound.
WARNING:  To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high-volume levels for long periods.
Medical conditions  If you have a medical condition that you believe could be affected by using Mac mini (for example, seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with your physician prior to using Mac mini.High-consequence activities  This computer is not intended for use where the failure of the computer could lead to death, personal injury, or severe environmental damage.Turning on your Mac mini  Never turn on your Mac mini unless all of its internal and external parts are in place. Operating your Mac mini when parts are missing may be dangerous and may damage your Mac mini.Carrying your Mac mini  Before you lift or reposition your Mac mini, shut it down and disconnect all cables and cords connected to it. If you carry your Mac mini 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. 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 Mac mini  If you are going to store your Mac mini for an extended period of time, keep it in a cool location (ideally, 71° F or 22° C).Cleaning your Mac mini  When cleaning the outside of your Mac mini and its components, first shut down your Mac mini and unplug the power cord. Then use a damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the computer’s 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.

Important Safety and Handling InformationProper handling  Set up your Mac mini on a stable work surface that allows for adequate air circulation under and around the computer. Do not operate your Mac mini on a pillow or other soft material, as the material can block the airflow vents. Never push objects into the ventilation openings. Water and wet locations  Keep your Mac mini away from sources of liquid, such as drinks, washbasins, bathtubs, shower stalls, and so on. Protect your Mac mini from dampness or wet weather, such as rain, snow, and fog.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.Operating environment  Operating your Mac mini outside these ranges may affect performance:Operating temperature:  50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)Storage temperature:  -40° to 116° F (-40° to 47° C)Relative humidity:  5% to 95% (noncondensing)Operating altitude:  tested up to 10,000 feet (3048 meters) 
						

							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. If possible, use a tiltable display stand. 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

Learning More, Service, and SupportDo not attempt to open your Mac mini. If you need service, contact Apple or take your Mac mini to an Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can find more information about  your Mac mini through Mac Help, online resources,  System Information, and Apple Hardware Test.
Mac HelpYou can often find answers to your questions, as well as instructions and troubleshooting information, in Mac Help on your Mac. Click the Finder icon, click Help in the menu bar, and choose Mac Help.
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 Mac mini, use System Report. 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 Report, choose Apple () > About This Mac from the menu bar and then click System Report.
Apple Hardware TestYou can use Apple Hardware Test (AHT ) to help determine if there’s a problem with one of the computer’s components, such as the memory or processor.
Do Not Make Repairs YourselfYour Mac mini doesn’t have any user-serviceable parts.  Do not attempt to replace or repair any components inside your Mac mini. If your Mac mini needs service, consult an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple. 
WARNING:  Making adjustments or performing procedures may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
If you attempt to install items, you risk damaging your equipment, and such damage isn’t covered by the limited warranty on your Mac mini.
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.
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. 
						

							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 InterferenceThis 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: ÂTurn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.  ÂMove the computer to one side or the other of the television or radio.  ÂMove the computer farther away from the television or radio.  ÂPlug 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 (including Ethernet network cables) between system components. It is important that you use compliant peripheral devices and shielded cables between system components to reduce the possibility of causing interference to radios, television sets, and other electronic devices.
To use Apple Hardware Test:  Disconnect all external devices from your computer, except the keyboard, mouse, and display. If you have an Ethernet cable connected, disconnect it. Restart your computer while holding down the D key. 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.Important:  If Apple Hardware Test doesn’t appear after restarting, hold down Command (x)-Option-D 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.
