Carrying your MacBook If you carry your MacBook 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 the optical drive slot 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.

Using the optical drive The SuperDrive in your MacBook supports standard 12 cm

(4.7 inch) discs. Irregularly shaped discs or discs smaller than 12 cm (4.7 inches) are not

supported and can become lodged in the drive.

Storing your MacBook If you are going to store your MacBook 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 and then remove it from your

MacBook. To maintain the capacity of the battery, recharge the battery to 50 percent

every six months or so.

Cleaning your MacBook When cleaning the outside of your MacBook and its

components, first shut down your MacBook, unplug the power adapter, and remove

the battery. 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.
