Other Safety Considerations


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.

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 crewmember 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.
