IN FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR OTHER INJURY OR DAMAGE.
Maintaining Your Kindle Fire
Do not use your Kindle Fire or its accessories in rain, or near sinks or other wet locations.
Take care not to spill any food or liquid in your Kindle Fire. If your device does get wet,
unplug all cables, turn off the wireless (go to Settings, click on the Wi-Fi icon, and un-check
the Wi-Fi box) 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 Fire 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 Fire in a bag or briefcase, keep a cover on to avoid scratches.
Don’t expose your Kindle Fire to extreme heat or cold. For example, don’t leave it in the trunk
of your car in sub-zero or high-heat conditions.
Servicing Your Device
If your device needs service, please contact Amazon Customer Support. Contact details can

Glass Parts
The outside cover of your device’s screen is made of glass. This glass could break if the
device is dropped or receives a substantial impact. If the glass breaks, chips, or cracks, stop
using your Kindle Fire and do not touch or attempt to remove the damaged glass.

The rechargeable battery in your Kindle Fire should be replaced only by an authorized service
provider. For more information about batteries, go to www.amazon.com/kindleterms. Charge
