Important safety information for your Mac
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock, or other injuries, or damage to your Mac Studio, cables, or other property. Read all safety information below before using your Mac Studio.
Handling. Set up your Mac Studio on a hard, stable work surface that allows for adequate air circulation under and around the computer. Never push objects into the ventilation openings. Your Mac Studio can be damaged if dropped, burned, punctured, or crushed, or if it comes in contact with liquids, oils, and lotions.
Connect an Apple Studio Display. If you connect a Studio Display to your Mac Studio, read the safety and handling information in the Getting Started with Apple Studio Display guide.
Liquid exposure. Keep your Mac Studio away from sources of liquid, such as drinks, oils, lotions, washbasins, bathtubs, shower stalls, and so on. Protect your Mac Studio from dampness, humidity, or wet weather, such as rain, snow, and fog.
Power. The only way to turn off power completely to your computer is to unplug the power cord from the main power supply. To disconnect your computer completely, you must also unplug its power cable from the computer or power outlet. Make sure that at least one end of the computer’s power cord is within easy reach so that you can unplug the computer or display when necessary. For your own safety and that of your equipment, unplug the power cord (by pulling the plug, not the cord) from the wall outlet and disconnect all cables from your computer if any of the following conditions exists:
The power cord or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged.
You spill something into the case.
Your Mac Studio or power adapter is exposed to rain or excess moisture.
Your Mac Studio has been dropped, or the case has been damaged.
You suspect that your Mac Studio needs service or repair.
You want to clean the case (use only the recommended procedure, described later in this document).
Important: Don’t block any ventilation openings. Your computer requires sufficient airflow to ensure adequate cooling and optimal performance, and to avoid a reduction in performance or damage to internal components.
Power specifications:
Voltage: 100 to 127 V AC and 220 to 240 V AC
Current: 5 A, 100 to 127 V AC; 2.5 A, 220 to 240 V AC
Frequency: 50 to 60 Hz
WARNING: Your AC cord has a three-wire grounding plug (a plug that has a grounding pin). This plug fits only a grounded AC outlet. If you’re unable to insert the plug into an outlet because the outlet isn’t grounded, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded one. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding pin.
Hearing loss. Listening to sound at high volumes may damage your hearing. Background noise, as well as continued exposure to high volume levels, can make sounds seem quieter than they actually are. Use only compatible earbuds, headphones, or earpieces with your Mac Studio. Turn on the audio and check the volume before inserting anything into your ear. See Sound and Hearing.
WARNING: To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods.
Repairing. Your Mac Studio should only be serviced by a trained technician. Disassembling your Mac Studio may damage it or may cause injury to you. If you attempt to open your Mac Studio, you risk damaging your computer, and such damage isn’t covered by the limited warranty on your Mac Studio. If your Mac Studio needs service, is damaged, malfunctions, or comes in contact with liquid, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for service. Repairs performed by untrained individuals or using non-genuine Apple parts may affect the safety and functionality of the device. You can find information about getting service at Mac Repair and Service.
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 provided location-based information 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 applicable laws and regulations in the areas where you are using navigation, and always use common sense.
Medical device interference. Mac Studio contains components and radios that emit electromagnetic fields. These electromagnetic fields may interfere with medical devices, such as pacemakers and defibrillators. Consult your physician and medical device manufacturer for information specific to your medical device and whether you need to maintain a safe distance of separation between your Mac Studio and your medical device (more than 6 inches or 15 cm apart). If you suspect Mac Studio is interfering with your medical device, stop using Mac Studio and consult your physician and your medical device manufacturer.
Medical conditions. If you have a medical condition that you believe could be affected by using Mac Studio (for example, seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with your physician prior to using Mac Studio.
Repetitive motion. When you perform repetitive activities such as typing or playing games on Mac Studio, you may experience discomfort in your hands, arms, wrists, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. If you experience discomfort, stop using Mac Studio and consult a physician.
High-consequence activities. Your Mac Studio is not intended for use where the failure of the computer could lead to death, personal injury, or severe environmental damage.
Explosive and other atmospheric conditions. Using Mac Studio in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere may be hazardous—particularly in areas where the air contains high levels of flammable chemicals, vapors, or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Exposing Mac Studio to environments having high concentrations of industrial chemicals, including evaporating liquified gases such as helium, may damage or impair Mac Studio functionality. Obey all signs and instructions.
