Ready, Set Up, Go
Step 1: Plug in the 60W MagSafe Power Adapter to provide power to the MacBook
and charge the battery.
Make sure the AC plug is fully inserted into the power adapter and the electrical
prongs on your AC plug are in their completely extended position. Insert the AC plug
of your power adapter into a power outlet and the MagSafe connector into the
MagSafe power port. As the MagSafe connector gets close to the port, you’ll feel a
magnetic pull drawing it in.
To extend the reach of your power adapter, first pull the AC plug up to remove it from
the adapter. Attach the included AC power cord to the adapter, making sure it is seated
firmly. Plug the other end into a power outlet. The AC power cord provides a grounded
connection.
When disconnecting the power adapter from an outlet or from the computer, pull the
plug, not the cord.
