Getting Started
IMPORTANT
When picking up your computer, be sure to grasp it by the sides.
Grasping it by the front or back can cause the computer’s cover to lift off.
Plugging in the computer
Before you plug your Macintosh into a wall socket, carefully read all the
setup instructions in this chapter. Then, before you connect anything to your
Macintosh, follow the instructions in this section to plug it in. The plug
grounds the computer and protects it from electrical damage while you are
setting up. When you are ready to begin, follow these steps:
1Make sure the voltage switch on the back of the computer is set for the kind of voltage
system to which you will be connecting.
The voltage switch must be set correctly to avoid damaging your computer. If
you don’t know the voltage used in the country you’re in, refer to the table
“Voltages for Different Locations” later in this chapter.
When lifting or carrying the computer, always grasp it
by the sides, as shown. Do not lift or carry the computer
by grasping the front and back.
