Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water to clean the exterior. Avoid getting moisture in any openings. For the display, use a dedicated screen cleaner. Never spray cleaner directly onto the device.
- Ventilation: Ensure the vents are not blocked to maintain optimal thermal performance. Avoid using the device on soft surfaces like blankets that can obstruct airflow.
- Battery Health: To optimize battery lifespan, avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures and consider using Optimized Battery Charging features within macOS settings.
