The FCC is only concerned with RF (radio frequency) interference and compliance. They want to ensure that a device does not cause any RF interference with other devices or systems. In other words, they don't won't a Kindle causing your TV to act funny, or to screw up the electronics on an airplane, etc. Unless they have reason to suspect interference from something like a lighted front screen, they won't test it. But the FCC will test any radios built in to a device before they certify it.
