Discontinue use of your MacBook Air if it’s dropped or appears crushed, bent, deformed, or damaged. Do not expose your MacBook Air 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 Air with care. It is made of metal, glass, and plastic and has sensitive electronic components inside. Your MacBook Air can be damaged if dropped, burned, punctured, or crushed, or if it comes in contact with liquid.

To operate the computer safely and reduce the possibility of heat-related injuries, follow these guidelines: ÂSet up your MacBook Air on a stable work surface that allows for adequate air circulation under and around the computer. ÂDo not operate your MacBook Air on a pillow, blanket, or other soft material, because the material can block the airflow vents.
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 Air contains glass components, including the display and trackpad. If they are damaged, don’t use your MacBook Air until it has been repaired by an Apple Authorized Service Provider. Storing your MacBook Air If you are going to store your MacBook Air 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 Air When cleaning the outside of your MacBook Air and its components, first shut down your MacBook Air, and then unplug the power adapter. Then dampen a clean, lint-free cloth to wipe the MacBook Air 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 Air screen To clean your MacBook Air screen, first shut down your MacBook Air and unplug the power adapter. Then dampen a clean, lint-free 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 ThisUse a light touch when typing or using the trackpad and keep your hands and fingers relaxed. Avoid rolling your thumbs under your palms. The MagSafe 2 power port (where you plug in the MagSafe 2 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. MagSafe 2 power specifications: Frequency: 50 to 60 Hz, single phase Line Voltage: 100 to 240 V Output Voltage: 14.85 V DC, 3.05 A 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 MacBook Air. 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 MacBook Air (for example, seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with your physician prior to using MacBook Air. 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. Operating environment Operating your MacBook Air 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) Carrying your MacBook Air If you carry your MacBook Air 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.
Apple and the EnvironmentAt Apple, we recognize our responsibility to minimize the environmental impacts of our operations and products. For more information, go to www.apple.com/environment. Learning More, Service, and SupportYour MacBook Air does not have any user-serviceable parts. If you need service, contact Apple or take your MacBook Air to an Apple Authorized Service Provider. You can find more information about your MacBook Air 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 Air, 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. 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.
