Safety and Compliance Information

Use Responsibly. Read all instructions and safety information before use.
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 on 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 pressing the power
button 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.
