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 Menu, and choose Turn Off Wireless) 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 it 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 affect your Kindle's performance. In limited
circumstances, use of third-party accessories may void your Kindle's limited warranty.
Read all safety instructions for any accessories before using them with your Kindle.
