Appendix A Product Information

restricted in some areas. If you are in an area where using your Kindle while operating a

vehicle is allowed, always give full attention to the operation of the vehicle and stop using

your Kindle if it becomes a distraction.

Wireless Safety and Compliance

You should turn your wireless connection off and use Airplane Mode 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 your wireless connection

turned on any place you are not allowed to use a cellular device.

Use Airplane Mode 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 crewmember to use your device’s wireless service.

Using Your Kindle 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 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.

Steps to Minimize Interference

If your Kindle does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can

determine by turning your Kindle 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 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.
