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

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.
