Maintaining Your Kindle Device

Do not use your Kindle device 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 (tap the Menu button, select Settings, and enable Airplane
Mode) 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 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.
Use of third party accessories may impact your Kindle’s performance. In limited
circumstances, use of third party accessories may void your Kindle’s limited warranty. Read
all safety instructions for any accessories before using with your Kindle.
