MacBook Guide

Ports on MacBookThe left side of your MacBook contains all the ports youll need to connect digital cameras, camcorders, printers, videoprojectors, science probes, iPods, etc.

Charging PortThe charging port is the first port.

Power AdapterThe MacBook battery offers up to 6 hours ofbattery life. Be sure to fully charge yourMacBook when you plug it in for the first time.

When the power adapter connection is secure, an LED lights up at the head of the Adapter plug. Orange indicates thebattery is charging and green indicates the battery is fully charged.

The MagSafe Power Adapter is just that: a magnetic connection instead of a physical one. So tripping over a powercord wont send your shiny new MacBook flying off a table or desk; the cord simply disconnects cleanly away, withoutdamage to either the cord or the system.

Warning: The MacBook power adapter port contains a magnet that can erase data on a credit card, iPod, or otherdevice. To preserve your data, keep these and other magnetic media awayfrom the power adapter port.

Ethernet PortThe second port from the left is the Ethernet

port. This port is used to connect yourcomputer to the school network. You may alsoconnect to the school network via the wirelesscard in your computer.

Video PortThe third port from the lefton the MacBook isthe Video!Output port. This port allows you toconnect a display or projector.

FireWire 400 PortThe fourth port from the left on the MacBook isthe FireWire port. With FireWire, you can easilyconnect and disconnect external high!speeddevicessuch as high definition video (HDV) ordigital video (DV) cameras and hard disks

without restarting your computer (hot swappable). To un!mount a Fire

!Wire device, drag the device icon to the Eject

on the Dock, which is what the Trash Can icon turns into when you move the device icon over it.

USB PortsThe fifth and sixth port from the left on theMacBook are the USB ports which you can useto connect many types of external devices,including printers, scanners, digital cameras,joysticks, and keyboards. USB is also hotswappable but not as fast as FireWire. Afteryou connect the device, it is ready to use. In some cases, you must remember to un!mount your device when you aredone using it.

Audio PortThe seventh and eighth ports on the MacBook arethe Audio Ports. The audio!in port (on the left)allows you to connect external microphones andother audio equipment. The audio!in port does notprovide power to a connected device, so you mustuse self!powered devices. The audio!out port (onthe right) allows you to connect external powered speakers, headphones, 5.1 surround systems, and other soundoutput devices.

Security SlotThe last slot on the MacBook is the securityslot. You can purchase a security cable lock toprotect your MacBook. With a lock, you cansecure your computer to a desk or table.

Other Hardware Features

iSight CameraThe MacBook has a built!in iSight camera at the top of the display bezel (Figure 1). This is good for video conferencingwith others using the included iChat AV application or making a movie for a class project. The camera indicator light willturn greenwhen the camera is in use and will turn offwhen it is not.

Sudden Motion SensorYour MacBook has Sudden Motion Sensor technology (Figure 1), which helps protect the hard disk from damage if thecomputer is dropped or shaken. This sensor is located on the bottom right corner of your laptop when looking at itfrom straight on. Sudden Motion Sensor protection doesnt affect hard disk performance during regular MacBookoperation. Occasionally, unusually strong vibrations might activate the Sudden Motion Sensor technology at a time

when your MacBook is writing or reading data intensively (such as when playing or recording video or audio). If younotice dropped frames or sound elements, make sure that your MacBook is in a stable environment without vibration orabrupt movement.

TrackpadTips for Using the TrackpadFor best results when using the trackpad:

Use only one finger, except when the scrolling feature is turned on and you want to scroll.

Do not use a pen or any other object to scroll.

Keep your finger and the trackpad dry. If the trackpad becomes moist from humidity or condensation, gentlywipe it with a clean cloth before you use it.

Never use any kind of cleaning solution on the trackpad.

Adjusting Your MacBook DisplayYour computer LCD is adjustable for your viewing pleasure. In order to prevent damage to the LCD, LCD Bezel or LCDbrace, do not open the MacBook past its natural stopping point where the LCD bezel touches the bottom case.
