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 Fire Tablet

Do not use your Fire tablet or its accessories in rain, or near sinks or other wet or highly humid locations. Take care not to spill any food or liquid on your Fire tablet or its accessories. If your device does get wet, unplug all cables, turn off the device (press the power button until the menu pops up, then select "shut down"). Wait for the device to dry completely before pressing the Power button to wake again. Do not attempt to dry your Fire tablet or its accessories 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 Fire tablet in a bag or briefcase, keep a cover on to avoid scratches.

Don't expose your Fire tablet or its accessories to extreme heat or cold. For example, don't leave it in your car in sub-zero or high-heat conditions.

Use of third party accessories may impact your device's performance. In limited circumstances, use of third party accessories may void your device's limited warranty. Read all safety instructions for any accessories before using with your Fire tablet.

Servicing Your Device

If your device needs service, please contact Amazon Customer Support. Contact details can be found at www.amazon.com/devicesupport.

Faulty service may void the warranty.

Glass Parts

The outside cover of your device's screen is made of glass. This glass could break if the device is dropped or receives a substantial impact. If the glass breaks, chips, or cracks, stop using your Fire tablet and do not touch or attempt to remove the damaged glass.

Battery Safety

You should not attempt to open your device or access the battery in your Fire tablet. If you are in the European Union, the rechargeable battery in your Fire tablet should be replaced only by an authorized service provider. For more information about batteries, go to www.amazon.com/devicesupport. Your device is shipped with an AC adapter. Your Fire tablet should only be charged using the AC adapter and USB cable included with the device, or another USB cable approved for use with your Fire tablet, with a compatible USB charger or USB port that meets the following requirements: USB-IF Battery Charging Spec, Rev 1.2. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock when using the AC adapter, carefully follow these instructions:

• Do not force the adapter into a power outlet.
• Do not expose adapter or cable to liquids.
• If the adapter or cable appears damaged, discontinue use immediately.
• Power adapter designed only for use with Fire devices.

Headphone Safety

At full power, prolonged listening of the player can damage the ear of the user. To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods. Also, wear headphones that isolate the wanted audio from background noise.

Other Safety Considerations

A small percentage of people may be susceptible to blackouts or seizures (even if they have never had one before) when exposed to flashing lights or light patterns such as when playing games or watching video. If you have experienced seizures or blackouts or have a family history of such occurrences, you should consult a physician before playing games or watching videos.

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.

Discontinue use of your device and consult a physician if you experience headaches, blackouts, seizures, convulsions, 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 and take frequent breaks.

Small parts contained in or included with your device and its accessories may present a choking hazard to small children.

Using your Fire tablet while operating a vehicle is not recommended and may be prohibited or restricted in some areas. If you are in an area where using your Fire tablet while operating a vehicle is allowed, always give full attention to the operation of the vehicle and stop using your Fire tablet if it becomes a distraction.

If you enable location services, your Fire tablet will transmit location information to applications that request such information, and those applications may share such information with third parties. The location data, which will be used to provide features such as navigation in maps, may be unavailable, inaccurate or incomplete. When using applications with location services, be sure to visually confirm that any instructions are consistent with what you see before following them. Pay attention to road conditions, closures, traffic, and all other factors that may impact your safety.

Personal medical devices, such as pacemakers, may be sensitive to magnetic and electromagnetic fields. Since Fire tablets and certain Fire accessories contain magnets and emit electromagnetic fields, they should be kept at least 6 inches (approximately 15 cm) from any personal medical device. If any interference is observed, consult with your physician before resuming use. Items with magnetically-stored data, such as credit cards and hard drives, may also be sensitive to magnetic or electromagnetic fields, and should not be placed near these Fire products.

Wireless Safety and Compliance

Turn your wireless connection off in areas where wireless use is forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger. Some specific situations are described below. In general, you should not use your Fire tablet with your wireless connection turned on any place you are not allowed to use a cellular device.

Turn Off Wireless When Flying

To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration regulations and many other aviation agencies require you to have permission from a crewmember to use your device's wireless service.

Using Your Fire Tablet Around Other Electronic Devices

Your Fire tablet generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency (RF) energy and, if not used in accordance with its instructions, may cause interference to radio communications and electronic equipment. External RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic operating systems, entertainment systems, and personal medical devices. While most modern electronic equipment is shielded from external RF signals, if in doubt, check with the manufacturer. For personal medical devices (such as pacemakers and hearing aids), consult with your physician or the manufacturer to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.

Steps to Minimize Interference

If your device causes interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by powering your device on and off), you can try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: reorient or relocate the receiving antenna for the radio or television; increase the separation between the radio or television and your device; connect equipment and receivers to different outlets; or consult the radio or television manufacturer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Watch for Signs

There are some places where RF 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.

In addition, turn off and do not charge your device if you are in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, as sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire. Such areas are usually, but not always, clearly identified, and include areas where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

FCC Compliance Statement (USA)

This device and its related accessories like the adapter (the "Products") comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation of each Product is subject to the following two conditions: (1) each Product may not cause harmful interference, and (2) each Product must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
