Safety, handling, and support
Important safety information
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in re, electric shock, or other
injuries, or damage to your MacBook or other property. Read all safety information below
before using your MacBook.
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 lithium-ion battery in your MacBook
should be replaced by Apple or an authorized service provider, and must be recycled or disposed
of separately from household waste. Don’t expose your MacBook to extreme heat sources, such
as radiators or replaces, where temperatures might exceed 212°F (100°C).
For information about battery service and recycling, go to
www.apple.com/batteries/service-and-recycling.
Handling. Handle your MacBook with care. It is made of metal, glass, and plastic and has
sensitive electronic components inside. Place your MacBook on a stable work surface that allows
for adequate air circulation under and around the computer. Your MacBook can be damaged
if dropped, burned, punctured, or crushed, or if it comes in contact with liquid. Don’t use a
damaged MacBook, such as one with a cracked screen, as it may cause injury.
Water and wet locations. Keep your MacBook away from sources of liquid, such as drinks,
washbasins, bathtubs, shower stalls, and so on. Protect your MacBook from dampness or wet
weather, such as rain, snow, and fog.
Repairing. Your MacBook doesn’t have any user-serviceable parts. Do not open or disassemble
MacBook or attempt to repair it or replace any components. Disassembling your MacBook may
damage it or may cause injury to you. If your MacBook needs service, is damaged, malfunctions,
or comes in contact with liquid, contact Apple or an Apple-authorized repair center, such as an
Apple Authorized Service Provider. If you attempt to open your MacBook, you risk damaging
your computer, and such damage isn’t covered by the limited warranty on your MacBook.
Navigation. Maps, directions, and location-based apps depend on data services. These data
services are subject to change and may not be available in all areas, resulting in maps, directions,
or location-based information that may be unavailable, inaccurate, or incomplete. Compare
the information provided on your MacBook to your surroundings and defer to posted signs to
resolve any discrepancies. Do not use these services while performing activities that require your
full attention. Always comply with posted signs and the laws and regulations in the areas where
you are using your MacBook and always use common sense.
