Last, but Not Least
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.
Storing your Mac mini If you are going to store your 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, 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.
