IMPORTANT PRODUCT INFORMATION

SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL SAFETY INFORMATION BEFORE USING THE DEVICE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR OTHER INJURY OR DAMAGE.

BATTERY SAFETY

HANDLE WITH CARE. Your device contains a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and should be replaced only by a qualified service provider. Do not disassemble, remove or attempt to modify or access the battery in your device. 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 www.amazon.com/devicesupport. Your device uses the USB cable provided and a USB charger or USB port that is compliant with safety standards, such as IEC 62368. Do not charge your device near water or in extremely humid conditions.

Do not expose your device to liquids. If your device gets wet, carefully unplug all cables without getting your hands wet and wait for the device to dry completely before plugging it in again. Do not attempt to dry your device with an external heat source, such as a microwave oven or a hair dryer. If the device appears damaged, discontinue use immediately.

In limited circumstances, use of third-party accessories may void your device's limited warranty. Read all safety instructions for any accessories before using with your device. It is normal for your device and charger to become warm while charging. If your device becomes uncomfortably hot while charging, remove the device from the charger and wait until it cools down before resuming charging. If your device feels too warm to use after charging, wait until it cools down.

Engaging in repetitive motions such as pressing keys or playing some games may cause you to experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. Discontinue use of your device and consult a physician if you experience headaches, blackouts, seizures, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movement, disorientation, or other discomfort. To reduce risk of these symptoms, avoid prolonged use, hold your device some distance from your eyes, use your device in a well-lit room, and take frequent breaks.

Using your device 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 device while operating a vehicle is allowed, always give full attention to the operation of the vehicle and stop using your device if it becomes a distraction.

USE CAUTION AROUND PACEMAKERS AND SIMILAR MEDICAL DEVICES. Personal medical devices, such as pacemakers, may be sensitive to magnetic and electromagnetic fields. Since the Device and certain accessories contain magnets and emit electromagnetic fields, they should be kept at least 15 cm (approximately 6 inches) from any personal medical device. If any interference is observed, consult with your doctor 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 products.

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 device 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

This device 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 device does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by turning your device 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 device; 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.
