Important Handling Information

Carrying your MacBook Air If you carry your MacBook Air in a bag or briefcase, make

sure that there are no loose items (such as paper clips or coins) that could accidentally

get inside the computer through vent openings or get stuck inside a port. Also, keep

magnetically sensitive items away from the MagSafe power port.

Using connectors and ports Never force a connector into a port. When connecting a

device, make sure the port is free of debris, that the connector matches the port, and

that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.

Storing your MacBook Air If you are going to store your MacBook Air 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. When storing your computer 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 Air When cleaning the outside of your computer and its

components, first shut down your MacBook Air, and then 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.

NOTICE:

Failure to follow these handling instructions could result in damage to your

MacBook Air or other property.
