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.
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, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to use your device’s wireless service. If you have your wireless service turned off, you can use your Kindle for reading once a crew member has said it is okay to use electronic devices.
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.
