Safety Information

Parents: Read and explain all instructions and safety
information to your child before use.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN FIRE,

ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR OTHER INJURY OR DAMAGE.

The Fire Tablet and its included accessories are not toys.
Children should be supervised to ensure proper use.

Parents should also routinely check to confirm that the
Fire Tablet shows no signs of damage or breakage and
is in safe condition for use by children. The Fire Tablet is
not suitable for children under age 3.

DO NOT GET WET. Do not permit anyone to use the
Fire Tablet or its accessories in rain, or near sinks or
other wet or highly humid locations. Take care to
ensure that no food or liquid is spilled on the Fire
Tablet or its accessories. If the device does get wet,
unplug all cables, turn off the wireless (drag down the
Quick Settings menu, tap Wireless & Networks, and
turn off Wi-Fi) and let the screen revert to the screen
saver. Additionally, ensure that Bluetooth is disabled by
accessing the Quick Settings menu, tapping Wireless &
Networks, tapping Bluetooth, and tapping Off. Wait for
the device to dry completely before pressing the Power

button to wake again. No one should attempt to dry
the Fire Tablet or its accessories with an external heat
source, such as a microwave oven or hair dryer.

ALWAYS INSPECT FOR BREAKAGE AND USE WITH
THE KID-PROOF CASE. The outside cover of the
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 all use
of the Fire Tablet and do not permit anyone to touch or
attempt to remove the damaged glass. To protect
against damage, children should always use the Fire
Tablet with its Kid-Proof Case. If the device is dropped
or impacted, parents should remove the Kid-Proof Case
and inspect for damage before putting it back in the
Kid-Proof Case and permitting a child to resume use.

AVOID PROLONGED LISTENING AT HIGH VOLUME.
At full power, prolonged listening of the player can
damage the ear of the user. To prevent possible hearing
damage, users should not listen at high volume levels
for long periods. Also, users should wear headphones
that isolate the wanted audio from background noise.
Parents should monitor duration of use and volume
levels to ensure appropriate use by children.

WATCH FOR HEALTH RISKS FROM FLASHING LIGHTS
OR LIGHT PATTERNS. 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 a user has experienced
seizures or blackouts or has a family history of such
occurrences, consult a physician before the user plays
games or watches videos. If a user experiences
headaches, blackouts, seizures, convulsions, eye or
muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary
movement, disorientation, or other discomfort,
discontinue that user’s use of the device and consult a
physician. To reduce the risk of these symptoms,
ensure that the user avoids prolonged use, holds the
device some distance from the eyes, and takes
frequent breaks.

AVOID REPETITIVE USE. Engaging in repetitive motions
such as pressing keys or playing some games may
cause a user to experience occasional discomfort of the
hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of the body.

CHOKING HAZARD – SMALL PARTS

ALWAYS INSPECT FOR BREAKAGE AND USE
WITH THE KID-PROOF CASE. Small parts, such as the
door to the SD card slot, could break off and present a
choking hazard. The outside cover of the 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 all use of the Fire
Tablet and do not permit anyone to touch or attempt
to remove the damaged glass. To protect against
damage and reduce the likelihood of small parts

Fire Tablet with its Kid-Proof Case. If the device is
dropped or impacted, parents should remove the
Kid-Proof Case and inspect for damage before putting
it back in the Kid-Proof Case and permitting a child to
resume use.

USE CAUTION AROUND PACEMAKERS AND SIMILAR
MEDICAL DEVICES. Personal medical devices, such as
pacemakers, may be sensitive to magnetic and
electromagnetic fields. Since the Fire Tablet contains
magnets and emits electromagnetic fields, it should be
kept at least 6 inches (approximately 15 cm) from any
personal medical device. If any interference is observed,
consult with a physician before resuming use.

Power Adapter Safety

EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN USING THE POWER
ADAPTER.The Fire Tablet is shipped with an AC adapter.
Parents should not permit children to connect or
handle the AC Adapter or USB cable until they are old
enough to do so safely. The Fire Tablet should only be
charged using the AC adapter and USB cable included
with the device, or another USB cable approved for use
with the Fire Tablet, with a compatible USB charger or
USB port that meets the following requirements:
USB-IF Battery Charging Spec, Rev 1.2. To reduce the
risk of fire or electric shock when using the AC adapter,
carefully follow these instructions:

• Do not force the adapter into a power outlet.

• Do not expose adapter or cable to liquids.

• If the adapter or cable appears damaged,
discontinue use immediately.

The AC adapter with its included cable could present a
stangulation hazard. Keep out of reach of young children.

Battery Safety

HANDLE WITH CARE. The Fire Tablet contains a
rechargeable lithium polymer battery and should be
replaced only by an authorized service provider. Do not
disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture,
or shred the battery. Do not modify or remanufacture
the battery, attempt to insert foreign objects into the
battery, or immerse or expose it to water or other
liquids, fire, explosion, or hazard. Do not short circuit a
battery or allow metallic conductive objects to contact
battery terminals. Avoid dropping the device or battery.
If the device or battery is dropped, especially on a hard
surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a
service center for inspection.
