Read all safety information below before using your MacBook.Built-in battery. Don’t attempt to replace or remove the battery yourself—you may damage the battery, which could cause overheating and injury. The lithium-ion battery in MacBook should be replaced by Apple or an authorized service provider, and must be recycled or disposed of separately from household waste. Don’t expose your MacBook to extreme heat sources, such the battery.For information about battery service and recycling, go to www.apple.com/batteries/service-and-recycling.Handling. Handle your MacBook with care. It is made of metal, glass, and plastic and has sensitive electronic components inside. Set up your MacBook on a stable work surface that allows for adequate air circulation under and around the computer. MacBook can be damaged if dropped, burned, punctured, or crushed, or if it comes in contact with liquid. Don’t use a damaged MacBook, such as one with a cracked screen, as it may cause injury.Water and wet locations. Keep your MacBook away from sources of liquid, such as drinks, washbasins, bathtubs, shower stalls, and so on. Protect your MacBook from dampness or wet weather, such as rain, snow, and fog. Repairing. Your MacBook doesn’t have any user-serviceable parts. Do not open or disassemble MacBook or attempt to repair it or replace any components. Disassembling MacBook may damage it or may cause injury to you. If MacBook needs service, is damaged, malfunctions, or comes in contact with liquid, contact Apple or an Apple-authorized repair center, such as an Apple Authorized Service Provider. If you attempt to open it, you risk damaging your computer, and such damage isn’t covered by the limited warranty on your MacBook.Navigation. Maps, directions, and location-based apps depend on data services. These data services are subject to change and may not be available in all areas, resulting in maps, directions, or location-based information that may be unavailable, inaccurate, or incomplete. Compare the information provided on MacBook to your surroundings and defer to posted signs to resolve any discrepancies. Do not use these services while performing activities that require your full attention. Always comply with posted signs and the laws and regulations in the areas where you are using MacBook and always use common sense.Charging. Charge MacBook only with the included 29W USB Type-C Power Adapter, or with other third-party cables and power adapters that are compatible with USB Type-C and are compliant with applicable regulations.Safety, handling, and support74% resize factor

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 in to a power source. For example, don’t sleep with a device or power adapter when it’s plugged in to a power source. Don’t operate your MacBook on a pillow, blanket, or other soft material that can block ventilation openings. It’s important to keep MacBook and its 29W USB Type-C Power Adapter in a well-ventilated area when in use or charging.Never push anything into the ventilation openings, as doing so may be dangerous and cause your computer to overheat. Never place anything over the keyboard when operating your MacBook.
