FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN

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 Menu button, select Settings, 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 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.
