Safety Instructions
Important safety information for your Mac
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric
shock, or other injuries, or damage to your MacBook Pro or other property. Read all
safety information below before using your MacBook Pro.
Built-in battery. Don’t attempt to replace or remove the battery yourself—you may
damage the battery, which could cause overheating and injury. The built-in battery
should be replaced by Apple or an authorized service provider, and must be recycled or
disposed of separately from household waste. Dispose of batteries according to your
local environmental laws and guidelines. Don’t expose your MacBook Pro to extreme heat
sources, such as radiators or fireplaces, where temperatures might exceed 212°F
(100°C).

Handling. Handle your MacBook Pro with care. It is made of metal, glass, and plastic and
has sensitive electronic components inside. Place your MacBook Pro on a stable work
surface that allows for adequate air circulation under and around the computer. Your
MacBook Pro can be damaged if dropped, burned, punctured, or crushed, or if it comes
in contact with liquids, oils, and lotions. Don’t use a damaged MacBook Pro, such as one
with a cracked screen, as it may cause injury.
Liquid exposure. Keep your MacBook Pro away from sources of liquid, such as drinks,
oils, lotions, sinks, bathtubs, shower stalls, and so on. Protect your MacBook Pro from
dampness, humidity, or wet weather, such as rain, snow, and fog.
Charging. Charge your MacBook Pro only with the included 96W Power Adapter and
USB-C Charge Cable, or with a third-party power adapter and cable that are compatible
with USB-C and compliant with applicable international and regional regulations and
safety standards, including IEC 60950-1. Other power adapters might not meet
applicable safety standards, and charging with such power adapters could pose a risk of
death or injury.
Using damaged power adapters or cables, or charging when moisture is present, can
cause fire, electric shock, injury, or damage to your MacBook Pro or other property. When
you use the included 96W Power Adapter and USB-C Charge Cable to charge your
MacBook Pro, make sure the USB-C Charge Cable is fully inserted into the power adapter
before you plug the power adapter into a power outlet.
