Safety and Compliance Information

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 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 in your Kindle. If your device does get wet, unplug all 
cables, turn off the wireless (tap Menu, and choose Turn Wireless Off) and let the screen 
revert to the screen saver. Wait for the device to dry completely before pressing the power 
button to wake again. Do not attempt to dry your Kindle 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 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.

Servicing Your Device

If your device needs service, please contact Amazon Customer Support. Contact details can 
be found at

Faulty service may void the warranty.

Battery Safety

provider. For more information about batteries, go to

. Charge the 

battery only in temperatures that range from 32° to 95° Fahrenheit (0° to 35° Celsius). Your 
Kindle is not shipped with an AC adapter. 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.

Headphone Safety

Listening to audio at high volume for extended periods of time can cause hearing damage. To 
avoid this problem, consider the tips below:

•  Keep the volume down.
