Maintaining Your Kindle; Recycling Kindle And The Battery Properly - Amazon KINDLE Manual

Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers and
hearing aids) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.
Watch for Signs
There are some places where radio 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.
Headphone Safety
Listening to audio at high volume for extended periods of time can cause hearing damage.
To avoid this problem, consider the tips below:
1. Keep the volume down.
2. Avoid prolonged, continuous listening by taking frequent breaks.
3. Wear headphones that isolate the wanted music from background noise.

Maintaining Your Kindle

Avoid exposing your Kindle and its accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your device
does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery. Wait for both to dry
completely before inserting the battery again. If your device needs service, consult only
Amazon.com authorized personnel by contacting us through Customer Support listed at
the end of the Tips and Troubleshooting section. Faulty service may void the warranty.
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 the book 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.
