should be relaxed. Your upper arm and forearm should form
an angle that is slightly greater than a right angle, with your
wrist and hand in roughly a straight line.
Not this
This
The MagSafe 2 power port (where you plug in the
MagSafe 2 power connector) contains a magnet that can
erase data on a credit card, iPod, or other device. To preserve
your data, do not place these or other magnetically sensitive
material or devices within 1 inch (25 mm) of this port.
If debris gets into the MagSafe 2 power port, remove it gently

Hearing damage Permanent hearing loss may occur if
earbuds or headphones are used at high volume. You can
adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may
sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing.
If you experience ringing in your ears or mued speech,
stop listening and have your hearing checked. The louder
the volume, the less time is required before your hearing
could be aected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect
your hearing:
 Limit the amount of time you use earbuds or headphones
at high volume.
 Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy
surroundings.
 Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking
near you.

Medical conditions If you have any other medical condition
that you believe could be aected by your MacBook Pro
(for example, seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches),
