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. Most modern electronic equipment
is shielded from RF signals. However, RF signals may affect improperly installed
or inadequately shielded electronic operating systems, entertainment systems and
personal medical devices. 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 dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
WATCH FOR SIGNS
There are some places where RF signals could constitute a hazard. For example,
health care facilities, construction sites, and so forth. 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; and
3. Wear headphones that isolate the wanted audio from background noise.
