services are subject to change and may not be available in all areas, resulting in maps, directions,

Charging. Charge your MacBook Pro only with the included USB-C Charge Cable and 61W or

even within these limits, sustained contact with warm surfaces for long periods of time may
cause discomfort or injury.
Use common sense to avoid situations where your skin is in prolonged contact with a device
or its power adapter when it’s operating or plugged into a power source. For example, don’t
sleep with a device or power adapter when it’s plugged into a power source. Don’t operate your
MacBook Pro on a pillow, blanket, or other soft material that can block ventilation openings.
