Safety and Compliance 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

Do not use your Kindle device or its accessories in rain, or near sinks or other wet locations. Take
care not to spill any food or liquid on your Kindle. If your device does get wet, unplug all cables, turn
off the wireless (tap the Quick Actions icon and enable Aeroplane Mode) and let the screen revert to
the screensaver. Wait for the device to dry completely before pressing the Power button to wake it
again. Do not attempt to dry your Kindle with an external heat source, such as a microwave oven or
hair dryer. 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.
Do not expose your Kindle to extreme heat or cold. For example, do not leave it in the boot 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.

Device Service

Battery Safety

The rechargeable battery in your Kindle should not be repaired or replaced except by qualified
personnel. For more information about batteries, go to www.amazon.com/devicesupport. Your
Kindle should only be charged using the USB cable included with the device, or another USB cable
approved for use with your Kindle, with a compatible USB charger or USB port that meets the
following requirements: USB-IF Battery Charging Spec, Rev 1.2.

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. Stop using your device and consult a doctor if you experience
headaches, blackouts, seizures, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness,
involuntary movement, disorientation, or other discomfort. To reduce the 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.
