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. Donʼt 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 61W Power Adapter or 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 61W Power Adapter or 96W Power Adapter and USB-C Charge

Cable to charge your MacBook Pro, make sure the USB-C Charge Cable is fully inserted
