A Word About Wireless
To get the most from your Kindle, you will want to use the Amazon
Whispernet wireless service. When you connect to Amazon through the
wireless connection, you can shop for, purchase, and download a variety
of reading materials. You can also access other Kindle services available
on Amazon.
Simple Explanation of Wireless Technology
The Kindle electronic reader uses the same EVDO wireless technology
that advanced cell phones use. When you have your Kindle turned on,
and wireless switched to the ON position, your device is a radio trans-
mitter and receiver just like a cell phone.
The quality of your connection depends on your distance from the
cellular tower and the signal strength in your area. Your Kindle informs
you of the current signal strength by displaying a number of bars next to
the signal strength icon located at the bottom of the screen. The more
bars displayed, the stronger the signal.
î Wireless Safety
In general, turn Amazon Whispernet off 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 Whispernet turned on any place you are not allowed to use your
cell phone.
