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 a 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.

Battery Safety
The rechargeable battery in your Kindle should be replaced only by an authorized service provider. For more information about batteries, go to http://www.amazon.com/kindleterms (U. S. or other countries) or http://www.amazon.co.uk/kindleterms (U. K. customers). Charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32° to 95° Fahrenheit (0° to 35° Celsius).
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.
Avoid prolonged, continuous listening.
Wear headphones that isolate the wanted audio from background noise.
Wireless Safety and Compliance
Turn Amazon Whispernet 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 Whispernet 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 U.S. 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. If you have your wireless service turned off, you can use your Kindle for reading once a crew member has said it is okay to use electronic devices.
Be Careful 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 with your physician or the manufacturer to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF signals.
Steps to Minimize Interference
If your Kindle does cause harmful 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.
Watch 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 cell phones should be turned off.
