Maintaining Your Kindle Device

Water Protection

Your Kindle has been tested to withstand brief accidental immersion in water under certain conditions. However, your Kindle is not intended for underwater use and may experience temporary effects from exposure to water. If your Kindle is immersed in water, follow these instructions:

To reduce the risk of damage to your Kindle, follow these instructions:

If your Kindle is dropped or otherwise damaged, the waterproofing of the device may be compromised.

For more information concerning care instructions and the waterproofing of your device, please see https://www.amazon.com/devicesupport.

General Care

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 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.

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

Servicing Your Device

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

Faulty service may void the warranty.

Battery Safety

HANDLE WITH CARE. Your device contains a rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery and should be replaced only by a qualified service provider. Do not disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred or attempt to access the battery in your device. Do not modify or remanufacture the battery, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, or immerse or expose it to water or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion or other hazard. Only use the battery for the system for which it is specified. Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other hazard. Do not short-circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive objects to come into contact with battery terminals. Avoid dropping the device or battery. If the device or battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and the user suspects damage, do not attempt repair. Contact Amazon Customer Service for assistance.

Keep the device and its power adapter (sold separately) in a well-ventilated area and away from heat sources, especially when in use or charging. For more information about batteries, go to https://www.amazon.com/devicesupport. Your device uses the USB cable provided and a USB charger or USB port that is compliant with safety standards, such as IEC 62368. Do not charge your device near water or in extremely humid conditions.

For models that support use of a wireless charger, ensure there are no metallic or magnetic foreign objects on the charger (such as coins, jewelry, metallic cases, keys, bank cards or other items) when charging. 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 device.

It is normal for your device and charger to become warm while charging. If your device becomes uncomfortably hot while charging, remove the device from the charger and wait until it cools down before resuming charging. If your device feels too warm to use after charging, wait until it cools down.

Other Safety Considerations

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 Kindle 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 crew member to use your device's wireless service.

Using Your Kindle Around Other Electronic Devices

Kindle 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 Kindle does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by turning your Kindle off and on), 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 Kindle; 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.

Recycling Your Kindle Properly

In some areas, the disposal of certain electronic devices is regulated. Make sure you dispose of, or recycle, your Kindle in accordance with your local laws and regulations. For information about recycling your Kindle, go to https://www.amazon.com/devicesupport.
