Important handling information for your Mac
Operating environment. Operating your iMac outside these ranges may affect performance:
Operating temperature: 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)
Storage temperature: -40° to 116° F (-40° to 47° C)
Operating altitude: Tested up to 16,404 feet (0 to 5000 meters)
Do not operate your iMac in areas with significant amounts of airborne dust, or smoke from cigarettes, cigars, ashtrays, stoves, or fireplaces, or near an ultrasonic humidifier using unfiltered tap water. Tiny airborne particles produced by smoking, cooking, burning, or using an ultrasonic humidifier with unfiltered water may, in rare instances, enter the ventilation openings of your iMac and, under certain conditions, result in a slight haze on the inside surface of the glass panel that covers the iMac display.
Carrying your iMac. Before you lift or reposition your iMac, shut it down and disconnect all cables and cords. To lift your iMac, hold its sides.
CAUTION: Keep hands and fingers away from the moving parts to avoid pinching.
Using connectors and ports. Never force a connector into a port. Before you plug the power cord into the power port, make sure the power port is completely free of debris. When connecting a device to a port, make sure the port is completely free of debris, that the connector matches the port, and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.
Important: Use only the original cables that came with your computer or accessory, or cables sold at an Apple retail store or online at
Cleaning the Magic Keyboard or Magic Mouse. Turn off the device, then unplug the cable (if necessary). To clean the outside of your mouse or keyboard, use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth that’s been lightly moistened with water. Don’t get moisture in any openings or use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives.
