Wireless Safety and Compliance
Turn off your wireless connection 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 anywhere where you are not allowed to use a
mobile device.
Turn Off Wireless When Flying
To prevent possible interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration
regulations and many other aviation authorities 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 harmful 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 your doctor or the
manufacturer to determine whether 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 outlets; or consult the radio or television manufacturer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Look Out 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 mobile
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.
