Watch for Signs

There are some places where radio 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.

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 by taking frequent breaks.

3.Wear headphones that isolate the wanted music from background noise.

Maintaining Your Kindle

Avoid exposing your Kindle and its accessories to rain or liquid spills. If your device does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove the battery. Wait for both to dry completely before inserting the battery again. 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 service may void the warranty.

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.
