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, U.S. Federal Aviation Administration regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your device’s wireless service. Your Kindle may use both Wi-Fi and cellular wireless signals, so while on an aircraft you should not turn your wireless service on unless a crew member has given permission for passengers to use both Wi-Fi and cellular devices. If you have your wireless service turned off, you can use your Kindle for reading once a crew member has given permission for passengers to use electronic devices. Remember that viewing offers or sponsorship details turns wireless on.

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.
