Last, but Not Least

Using the optical drive The SuperDrive in your MacBook Pro supports standard 12 cm
(4.7 inch) discs. Irregularly shaped discs or discs smaller than 12 cm (4.7 inches) are not
supported and can become lodged in the drive.

Handling glass parts Your MacBook Pro contains glass components, including the
display and trackpad. If they are damaged, don’t use your MacBook Pro until it has been
repaired by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Storing your MacBook Pro If you are going to store your MacBook Pro 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 or less. When storing your MacBook Pro 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 Pro When cleaning the outside of your MacBook Pro and its
components, first shut down your MacBook Pro and unplug the power adapter. Then
use a damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the computer’s 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 Pro screen To clean the MacBook Pro screen, first shut down
your MacBook Pro and unplug the power adapter. Then dampen the included cleaning
cloth with just water and wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen.
