Maintaining Your Kindle
Do not use your Kindle or its accessories in rain, or near sinks or other wet locations. Take care not
to spill any food or liquid in your Kindle. If your device does get wet, unplug all cables, turn off the
wireless (go to Menu, and choose Turn Wireless Off) and let the screen revert to the screen saver.
Wait for the device to dry completely before sliding the switch
to wake again. Do not attempt to dry your Kindle 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 abra-
sive. When carrying your Kindle in a bag or briefcase, keep a book cover
on to avoid scratches.

in sub-zero or high-heat conditions.
Use of third party accessories may impact your Kindle’s performance. In limited circumstances, use
of third party accessories may void your Kindle’s limited warranty. Read all safety instructions for any
