IMPORTANT PRODUCT INFORMATION
Use Responsibly. Read all instructions and safety information before use.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR OTHER INJURY OR DAMAGE.
Maintaining Your Kindle Device
Water Protection
Your Kindle has been tested to withstand brief accidental immersion in water under certain conditions. However, your Kindle is not intended for underwater use and may experience temporary effects from exposure to water. If your Kindle is immersed in water, follow these instructions:
- Quickly retrieve your Kindle. If your Kindle has a cover, remove the cover.
- If your Kindle was immersed in fresh water, unplug all cables and drain your Kindle by letting it stand upright with the micro-USB port facing down.
- If your Kindle was immersed in other types of water, unplug all cables, drain your Kindle by letting it stand upright with the micro-USB port facing down, rinse your Kindle off using fresh water (such as cold tap water) with the micro-USB port facing the water source, and drain your Kindle again.
- Let the device dry fully in a well-ventilated location before plugging the USB cable into your Kindle.
- Do not attempt to dry your Kindle with an external heat source (such as a microwave oven or hair dryer).
- Do not insert a foreign object into the micro-USB port (such as a cotton swab or paper towel).
To reduce the risk of damage to your Kindle, follow these instructions:
- Do not intentionally immerse your Kindle in water or expose it to seawater, salt water, chlorinated water, or other liquids (such as beverages).
- Do not spill any food, oil, lotion, or other abrasive substances on your Kindle.
- Do not expose your Kindle to pressurized water, high velocity water, or extremely humid conditions (such as a steam room).
If your Device is dropped or otherwise damaged, the waterproofing of the device may be compromised.
For more information concerning care instructions and the waterproofing of your device, please see https://www.amazon.com/devicesupport.
General Care
Clean the screen with a soft cloth; be careful not to wipe it with anything abrasive. When carrying your Kindle in a bag or briefcase, keep a cover on to avoid scratches.
Don't expose your Kindle to extreme heat or cold. For example, don't leave it in the trunk of your car in sub-zero or high-heat conditions.
Use of third-party accessories may impact your Kindle device's performance. In limited circumstances, use of third-party accessories may void your Kindle device's limited warranty. Read all safety instructions for any accessories before using them with your Kindle.
Servicing Your Device
If your device needs service, please contact Amazon Customer Support. Contact details can be found at https://www.amazon.com/devicesupport.
Faulty service may void the warranty.
Battery Safety
HANDLE WITH CARE. Your Device contains a rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery and should be replaced only by a qualified service provider. Do not disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred or attempt to access the battery in your Device. Do not modify or remanufacture the battery, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, or immerse or expose it to water or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion, or other hazard. Only use the battery for the system for which it is specified. Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive objects to come into contact with battery terminals. Avoid dropping the device or battery. If the device or battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and the user suspects damage, do not attempt repair. Contact Amazon Customer Service for assistance.
Keep the Device and its power adapter in a well-ventilated area and away from heat sources, especially when in use or charging. For more information about batteries, go to https://www.amazon.com/devicesupport. Your Device should only be charged using the USB cable included with the device, or another USB cable approved for use with your Device, and with a compatible USB charger or USB port that meets the following requirements: USB-IF Battery Charging Spec, Rev 1.2. Do not charge your Device near water or in extremely humid conditions.
Headphone Safety
AVOID PROLONGED LISTENING AT HIGH VOLUME. Prolonged listening of the player at high volume can damage the ear of the user. To prevent possible hearing damage, users should not listen at high volume levels for long periods.
Other Safety Considerations
- Engaging in repetitive motions such as pressing keys may cause you to experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. A small percentage of individuals may be susceptible to the following when using devices that flash lights or similar patterns: headaches, blackouts, seizures, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movement, disorientation, or other discomfort. Discontinue use of your device and consult a physician if you experience any of these symptoms.
- Small parts contained in your device and its accessories may present a choking hazard to small children.
- Using your Kindle while operating a vehicle is not recommended and may be prohibited or restricted in some areas. If you are in an area where using your Kindle while operating a vehicle is allowed, always give full attention to the operation of the vehicle and stop using your Kindle if it becomes a distraction.
- Personal medical devices, such as pacemakers, may be sensitive to magnetic and electromagnetic fields. Since Kindle and certain Kindle accessories contain magnets and emit electromagnetic fields, they should be kept at least 6 inches (approximately 15 cm) from any personal medical device. If any interference is observed, consult with your physician before resuming use. Items with magnetically-stored data, such as credit cards and hard drives, may also be sensitive to magnetic or electromagnetic fields, and should not be placed near these Kindle products.
Wireless Safety and Compliance
Turn your wireless connection off in areas where wireless use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger. Some specific situations are described below. In general, you should not use your Kindle with your wireless connection turned on any place you are not allowed to use a cellular device.
Turn Off Wireless When Flying
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration regulations and many other aviation agencies require you to have permission from a crew member to use your device's wireless service.
Using Your Kindle Around Other Electronic Devices
Kindle generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency (RF) energy and, if not used in accordance with its instructions, may cause interference to radio communications and electronic equipment. External RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating systems, entertainment systems, and personal medical devices. While most modern electronic equipment is shielded from external RF signals, if in doubt, check with the manufacturer. For personal medical devices (such as pacemakers and hearing aids), consult with your physician or the manufacturer to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.
Steps to Minimize Interference
If your Kindle does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by turning your Kindle off and on), you can try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: reorient or relocate the receiving antenna for the radio or television; increase the separation between the radio or television and your Kindle; connect equipment and receivers to different outlets; or consult the radio or television manufacturer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Watch for Signs
There are some places where RF signals could constitute a hazard, such as health care facilities, and construction sites. If you are not sure, look around for signs indicating that two-way radios or cell phones should be turned off.
In addition, turn off and do not charge your device if you are in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, as sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire. Such areas are usually, but not always, clearly identified, and include areas where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
