CAUTION! 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 (go to Menu, and choose Turn Wireless Off) and let the screen revert to the
screen saver. Wait for the device to dry completely before sliding the switch 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 the book 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.

If your device needs service, consult only Amazon.com authorized personnel by contacting us
through Customer Support listed at the end of the Tips and Troubleshooting section. Faulty
