64 Chapter 5 Last, but Not Least
For your safety and that of your equipment, follow these rules for handling and
cleaning your MacBook Pro and for working more comfortably. Keep these instructions
handy for reference by you and others.
Important Safety Information
Proper handling Set up your MacBook Pro on a stable work surface that allows for
adequate air circulation under and around the computer. Do not operate your
MacBook Pro on a pillow or other soft material, as the material can block the airflow
vents. Never place anything over the keyboard when operating your MacBook Pro.
Never push objects into the ventilation openings.
The bottom of your MacBook Pro may become very warm during normal use. If your
MacBook Pro is on your lap and gets uncomfortably warm, remove it from your lap and
place it on a stable work surface.
Water and wet locations Keep your MacBook Pro away from sources of liquid, such as
drinks, washbasins, bathtubs, shower stalls, and so on. Protect your MacBook Pro from
dampness or wet weather, such as rain, snow, and fog.
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric
shock, or other injury or damage.
