Product Information
Safety and Compliance Information
Use Responsibly. Read all instructions and safety information before use to avoid injury.
CAUTION! FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR OTHER INJURY OR DAMAGE.

KINDLE USER’S GUIDE Appendix B •2
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.

KINDLE USER’S GUIDE Appendix B •3
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:
1. Keep the volume down.
2. Avoid prolonged, continuous listening.
3. 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.

KINDLE USER’S GUIDE Appendix B •4
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.
FCC Compliance Statement for Model Number D00901, FCC ID:
XSX-1013 and Model Number D00901, FCC ID: X7N-0610
The devices comply with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) The device may not cause harmful interference; and (2) the device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

KINDLE USER’S GUIDE Appendix B •5
The devices have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
The devices meet the FCC Radio Frequency Emission Guidelines and are certified with the FCC as
the FCC ID number found on the back of the device.
Information regarding Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy for Model
Number D00901, FCC ID: XSX-1013 and Model Number D00901, FCC
ID: X7N-0610
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
Your Kindle is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to RF
energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the United States (FCC), regulating
entities of the European Union, and other countries. Information on your Kindle is on file with the
FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/ after
searching on the FCC ID for your Kindle, which can be found on the back of the device.
Canadian Compliance Statement
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
