Maintaining Your Kindle

Do not use your Kindle 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 (go to Menu, and select Aeroplane Mode) and let the screen
revert to the screen saver. Wait for the device to dry completely before pressing the switch
to wake it again. Do not attempt to dry your Kindle with an external heat source, such as a
microwave oven or a 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 book
cover on it to avoid scratches.
Don't expose your Kindle to extreme heat or cold. For example, don't leave it in the boot of
your car in sub-zero or high-heat conditions.

Servicing Your Device

If your device needs servicing, consult only Amazon-authorised personnel by contacting
us through Customer Support. Customer Support contact details can be found at
www.kindle.com/support.
Faulty service may void the warranty.

Battery Safety

The rechargeable battery in your Kindle should be replaced only by an authorised service
provider. For more information about batteries, go to www.kindle.com/support. Charge the
battery only in temperatures that range from 0° to 35° Celsius (32° to 95° Fahrenheit).
Your Kindle is not delivered with an AC adaptor. 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.
