When setting up and using your computer, remember the following:
m Read all the installation instructions carefully before you plug your
computer into a wall socket.
m Keep these instructions handy for reference by you and others.
m Follow all instructions and warnings dealing with your system.
m Use only the Apple Portable Power Adapter that came with your
computer. Adapters for other electronic devices may look similar, but
they may damage your computer.
m Always leave space around your power adapter. Do not use this
equipment in a location where airflow around the power adapter is
confined, such as a bookcase.
m Always disconnect the power adapter, phone line, and any other cables
before opening the computer to perform procedures such as installing
memory.
m Never turn on your computer unless all of its internal and external
parts are in place. Operating the computer with missing parts can be
dangerous and damage your computer.
m Do not connect a digital telephone line to the modem, because the
wrong type of line could damage the modem.
m When using your computer or when charging the battery, it is normal
for the bottom of the case to get warm. The bottom of the computer
case functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the
computer to the cooler air outside. The bottom of the case is raised
slightly to allow airflow that keeps the unit within normal operating
temperatures.
m Keep your computer away from sources of liquids, such as drinks,
washbasins, bathtubs, shower stalls, and so on.
m Protect your computer from dampness or wet weather, such as rain,
snow, and so on.
