Using connectors and ports. Never force a connector into the USB-C ports. 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.
Using the USB-C Charge Cable (2 m). Certain usage patterns can contribute to the
fraying or breaking of cables. The USB-C Charge Cable, pictured in , like
any other metal wire or cable, is subject to becoming weak or brittle if repeatedly bent in
the same spot. Aim for gentle curves instead of angles in the cable. Regularly inspect the
cable and connectors for any kinks, breaks, bends, or other damage. Should you find any
such damage, discontinue use of the USB-C Charge Cable.
Storing your MacBook Air. If you’re going to store your MacBook Air for an extended
period of time, keep it in a cool location (ideally, 71° F or 22° C) and discharge the battery
to 50 percent. When storing your computer for longer than five months, maintain the
capacity of the battery by charging the battery to 50 percent every six months or so.

components, first shut down your MacBook Air, then unplug the 30W USB-C Power
Adapter. Then dampen a clean, soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the MacBook Air exterior.
Avoid getting moisture in any openings. Don’t spray liquid directly on the computer. Don’t
use aerosol sprays, solvents, abrasives, or cleaners containing hydrogen peroxide that
might damage the finish.
Cleaning the MacBook Air screen. To clean the MacBook Air screen, first shut down
your MacBook Air and unplug the 30W USB-C Power Adapter. Dampen a clean, soft, lint-
free cloth with just water and wipe the screen. Don’t spray liquid directly on the screen.

arm and forearm should form an angle that is slightly greater than a right angle, with your
wrist and hand in roughly a straight line.
Use a light touch when typing or using the trackpad and keep your hands and fingers
relaxed. Avoid rolling your thumbs under your palms.
