CHOKING HAZARD – SMALL PARTS.

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

Protection Against Water

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

  • Quickly retrieve your device. If your device has a cover, remove the cover.
  • If your device was immersed in fresh water, unplug all cables and drain your device by letting it stand upright with the USB port facing down.
  • If your device was immersed in other types of water, unplug all cables, drain your device by letting it stand upright with the USB port facing down, rinse your device off using fresh water (such as cold tap water) with the USB port facing the water source, and drain your device again.
  • Let the device dry fully in a well‐ventilated location before plugging the USB cable into your device.
  • Do not attempt to dry your device with an external heat source (such as a microwave oven or hairdryer).
  • Do not insert a foreign object into the USB port (such as a cotton bud or paper towel).

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

  • Do not intentionally immerse your device in water or expose it to seawater, salt water, chlorinated water or other liquids (such as beverages).
  • Do not spill any food, oil, lotion or abrasive substances on your device.
  • Do not expose your device to pressurised water, high‐velocity water or extremely humid conditions (such as a steam room).

If your device 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 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.

Other Safety Considerations

Engaging in repetitive motions such as pressing keys or playing some games may cause you to experience occasionaldiscomfort 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, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movement, disorientation or other discomfort. To reduce risk of these symptoms, avoid prolonged use, hold your device some distance from your eyes, use your device in a well‐lit room, and take frequent breaks.

Using your Kindle 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 Kindle while operating a vehicle is allowed, always give full attention to the operation of the vehicle and stop using your Kindle if it becomes a distraction.

USE CAUTION AROUND PACEMAKERS AND SIMILAR MEDICAL DEVICES. Personal medical devices, such as pacemakers, may be sensitive to magnetic and electromagnetic fields. Since the Device and certain accessories contain magnets and emit electromagnetic fields, they should be kept at least 15 cm (approximately 6 inches) from any personal medical device. If any interference is observed, consult with your doctor before resuminguse. 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 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 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 US 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 Minimise 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 sockets; 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 healthcare 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, assparks 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.

AVOID PROLONGED LISTENING AT HIGH VOLUME. Prolonged listening of the player at high volume can damage the ear of the user. To prevent possible hearing damage, users should not listen at high volume levels for long periods.
