Other Safety Considerations
A small percentage of people may be susceptible to blackouts or seizures (even if they have
never had one before) when exposed to flashing lights or light patterns such as when playing
games or watching video. If you have experienced seizures or blackouts or have a family
history of such occurrences, you should consult a physician before playing games or watching
videos.
Engaging in repetitive motions such as pressing keys or playing some games may cause you
to experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of
your body.
Discontinue use of your device and consult a physician if you experience headaches,
blackouts, seizures, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary
movement, disorientation, or other discomfort. To reduce risk of these symptoms avoid
prolonged use, hold your device some distance from your eyes, use your device in a well-lit
room, and take frequent breaks.
Small parts contained in your device and its accessories may present a choking hazard to
small children.
Using your Kindle Fire while operating a vehicle is not recommended and may be prohibited
or restricted in some areas. If you are in an area where using your Kindle Fire while operating
a vehicle is allowed, always give full attention to the operation of the vehicle and stop using
your Kindle Fire if it becomes a distraction.
Wireless Safety and Compliance
Turn your wireless connection 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 Fire with your wireless connection 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 and many other aviation agencies require you to have permission from a crew-
member to use your device’s wireless service.
Using Your Kindle Fire Around Other Electronic Devices
Kindle Fire generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency (RF) energy and, if not used
in accordance with its instructions, may cause 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.
