Carrying your Mac mini  Before you lift or reposition your 
Mac mini, shut it down and disconnect all cables and cords 
connected to it. If you carry your Mac mini 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 get stuck inside a 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.

Mac mini for an extended period of time, keep it in a cool 
location (ideally, 71° F or 22° C).
Cleaning your Mac mini  When cleaning the outside of 
your Mac mini and its components, first shut down your 
Mac mini and unplug the power cord. 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.

Important Safety and Handling 
Information
WARNING:  Failure to follow these safety instructions could 
result in fire, electric shock, or other injury or damage to 
Mac mini or other property.
Proper handling  Set up your Mac mini on a stable work 
surface that allows for adequate air circulation under and 
around the computer. Do not operate your Mac mini on 
a pillow or other soft material, as the material can block 
the airflow vents. Never push objects into the ventilation 
openings. 
Water and wet locations  Keep your Mac mini away from 
sources of liquid, such as drinks, washbasins, bathtubs, 
shower stalls, and so on. Protect your Mac mini from 
dampness or wet weather, such as rain, snow, and fog.
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 muffled speech, 
stop listening and have your hearing checked. The louder 
the volume, the less time is required before your hearing 
could be affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect 
your hearing:
 Â
Limit the amount of time you use earbuds or headphones 
at high volume.
 Â
Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy 
surroundings. 
 Â
Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking 
near you.
High-risk activities  This computer is not intended for use 
in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or 
communications systems, air traffic control systems, or for any 
other uses where a failure of the computer system could lead 
to death, personal injury, or severe environmental damage.
