| Connecting the MagSafe Power Adapter to power
Make sure that the AC plug or AC power cord is fully inserted into the power adapter before plugging the adapter into a power outlet.
And be sure to plug your adapter into the wall before connecting it to your computer.
| Temperature and the MagSafe Power Adapter – Overheat
The power adapter might become very warm during normal use. The MagSafe and MagSafe 2 Power Adapters comply with the user-accessible surface temperature limits defined by the International Standard for Safety of Information Technology Equipment (IC 60950-1).
To reduce the possibility of overheating the power adapter or of heat-related injuries, do one of the following:
- Plug the MagSafe Power Adapter directly into a power outlet or surge protector using the AC Plug, and make sure that air can flow around the adapter.
- If you’re using the AC power cord, place the MagSafe Power Adapter on a desk, table, or on the floor in a well-ventilated location. Avoid thick carpet, bedding, or furniture that would impact airflow on the adapter, as those items might trap heat radiated from the adapter case. Also avoid prolonged contact between yourself and the adapter brick when the adapter is in use.
The Magsafe connector on your Magsafe Power Adapter might vary based on your computer, and the AC cord and AC plug style might vary based on your country.
