Replacing the Battery
Your computer has a 3.6 V lithium battery on the main logic board. If your computer
has intermittent problems starting up or random changes in its date and time settings,
you may need to replace the battery. Purchase a replacement battery from an Apple-
authorized dealer.
Important:
Batteries contain chemicals, some of which may be harmful to the
environment. Please dispose of used batteries according to your local environmental
laws and guidelines.
Warning:
The FCC Rules require that the operator or a nearby person be more than 1
centimeter (0.4 inches) away from the Airport Extreme antenna during transmission.
In addition, the Airport Extreme antenna must not be co-located with any other
transmitter or antenna except for the Apple Bluetooth antenna model A1067.
Install the AirPort antenna
into the AirPort antenna port.
You can rotate the antenna
to improve reception.
