Kindle Fire User’s Guide 20
Appendix A Product Information
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.
Steps to Minimize Interference
If your Kindle Fire does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can
determine by turning your Kindle Fire 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
Fire; connect equipment and receivers to different outlets; or consult the radio or television
manufacturer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Watch for Signs
There are some places where RF signals could constitute a hazard, such as health care
facilities, and construction sites. If you are not sure, look around for signs indicating that
two-way radios or cell phones should be turned off.
In addition, turn off and do not charge your device if you are in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere, as sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire. Such areas
are usually, but not always, clearly identified, and include areas where you would normally
be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
