Power and Charging
Turning Your NOOK On and O
NOTE: If you have set up a passcode to protect your NOOK, you will have to enter the passcode after you
turn on your NOOK. See “Using a Device Lock Passcode to Protect Your NOOK”.
Turning On Your NOOK
To turn on your NOOK, press the power button located on the left edge of your NOOK. Hold the button down for
5 seconds and release it.
Your NOOK starts. When it has completed its start-up process, it makes a chiming sound.
Turning O Your NOOK
You do not need to turn your NOOK o when you stop using it. With a fully charged battery and with Wi-Fi turned
on, your NOOK has enough power to last in a suspended “sleeping” state for many days. With a fully charged battery and with Wi-Fi turned o, your NOOK has enough power to last in a suspended state for several weeks.
On the other hand, if you are carrying your NOOK without a cover in a bag or purse, you might want to turn o
your NOOK to avoid it being accidentally turned on from its “sleeping” state. You also might want to turn o your
NOOK simply to conserve power.
To turn o your NOOK, do this:
1. Press the power button and hold it down for 5 seconds.
A window appears, asking if you really want to turn your NOOK completely o.
2. Tap the Power o button in the dialog box.
Your NOOK turns o.
NOTE: If you ignore the window asking you to confirm that you want to power o your NOOK, after several
seconds the window disappears and your NOOK resumes whatever it was doing before you pressed
the power button.

Wall Charging
To charge your NOOK, use the charging components included with your NOOK.
CAUTION: Only use the Barnes & Noble power adapter and 30-pin USB cable supplied with your NOOK.
Other power adapters might damage your NOOK and its battery. Do not use a power adapter and
cable intended for other models of NOOK eReader.
NOTE: Using your NOOK’s USB cable, you can connect your NOOK to your personal computer to trans-
fer files. However, connecting your NOOK to your personal computer may not fully charge your
NOOK. To charge your NOOK, you must plug it into a wall outlet.
To charge your NOOK from a wall outlet, do this:
1. Assemble the power adapter and USB cable. Insert the USB end of the cable into the matching receptacle on the
power adapter.
2. Plug the 30-pin end of the USB cable into your NOOK.
3. Plug the power adapter into a compatible electrical outlet. If your NOOK was turned o, it will now turn itself
on.
NOTE: Depending on how much power remains in the battery, it might take around 3-4 hours to fully recharge
your NOOK. Do not turn o your NOOK while it is charging.
NOTE: Once your NOOK has enough power to turn on, you can see how much power remains in the battery
by checking the battery charge indicator in the right corner of the Status Bar. You may need to drag
your account’s icon to the lock symbol on yourscreen to unlock your NOOK and display the Status Bar,
which runs along the top of the screen.
4. Once your NOOK has fully charged, unplug the power adapter from the electrical outlet. Unplug the USB cable
from your NOOK.
Resetting Your NOOK
Performing a Soft Reset
If for some reason your NOOK becomes unresponsive, you can perform a soft reset to restart the device.
1. Press and hold the power button for 20 seconds, then release the power button.
2. Press the power button again for 2 seconds to turn on your NOOK.
Low Power
If you turn on your NOOK when its battery charge is almost depleted, a warning appears on the screen, suggesting
that you begin charging your NOOK before trying to use it.
If the battery is depleted, your NOOK will shut down until it has been suciently recharged.
Charging Recommendations
Your NOOK contains a lithium ion battery. To maximize battery life:
• Avoid fully discharging the battery. Charge your NOOK after several hours of use or when you see the low
charge alert, rather than continuing to use it until it turns itself o.
Barnes & Noble NOOK User Guide 9
• Avoid high temperatures for charging, use, and storage. For more information, see “Temperature Ranges.”
• Charge the battery half way before storing your NOOK for a week or more.
• If you are not going to use your NOOK for more than 30 days, charge the battery to 40%-50% and then turn o
your NOOK.
Safety and Care
This section explains important information about safety and about caring for your NOOK.
Water
CAUTION: Your NOOK, cables, and adapters are not waterproof. To avoid risk of overheating, melting, and burns,
keep the device and all accessories away from water and other liquids.
Do not use the cable if either end of the cable gets wet or is exposed to liquid spray. Allow the
end(s) of the cable to dry thoroughly before trying to use the cable. Do not expose your NOOK
to wet or damp conditions. Avoid exposing the device to liquid or food. If liquid is spilled on the
device, make sure to unplug the charging cable and allow the device to dry thoroughly before
reusing. Do NOT attempt to dry out your NOOK with an external heat source such as a dryer or
microwave oven. Clean the screen of your NOOK with a soft cloth and avoid using liquid cleaners
on the screen.
Electricity
Your NOOK is an electrical device. Follow the same basic safety procedures you would follow with any electrical
device.
When charging your NOOK, use only the custom USB cable and power adapter included with your NOOK.
Airplanes
When using your NOOK on an airplane, be sure to follow the instructions of the flight crew.
To turn your NOOK’s wireless networking on or o, do this:
1. Tap on the right end of the Status Bar to open the Quick Settings dialog box.
2. Slide the Wireless switch on or o.
3. Tap anywhere outside the Quick Settings dialog box to close it.
Electronic Equipment
If you are around sensitive electronic equipment–for example, if you are in a hospital–ask if you may use your
NOOK. You probably can if you turn o Wi-Fi networking. Settings such as intensive care units might forbid the use
of any electronic device, with or without networking.
Battery
Your NOOK includes a non-replaceable lithium ion battery. Do not attempt to replace the battery. If you suspect
your battery is having problems, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-THE-BOOK (1-800-843-2665).

Caution About High Audio Volume
WARNING: Exposure to loud noise from any source for extended periods of time may aect your hearing. The
louder the volume, the faster your hearing may be aected. To protect your hearing:
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high volume.
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
• Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you. If you experience hearing
discomfort, including the sensation of pressure or fullness in your ears, ringing in your ears, or
mued speech, you should stop listening to the device through your headset or headphones
and have your hearing checked.
Caring for Your NOOK
To take the best possible care of your NOOK, please follow the recommendations below.
Temperature Ranges
Your NOOK should function as designed in these temperature ranges:
Use Fahrenheit Celsius
Chargin 41-95 F 5-35 C
Operation 32-95 F 0-35 C
Storage 5-113 F -13-45 C
Outside of these ranges, your NOOK might develop power, display, and/or software issues. If temperatures are
extremely cold or hot, permanent physical damage can result. Such damage is not covered by the warranty. Storage
applies to temporary locations like the trunk of your car (or other motor vehicle) as well as long-term storage.
Even on a day that is not very hot, the passenger compartment or trunk of a car can be extremely hot. Do not leave
your NOOK in a car.
High storage temperatures reduce battery life. For more information, see “Charging Recommendations”.
Caring for the Touchscreen
You should clean the touchscreen on your NOOK from time to time. Clean the screen with a damp soft cloth, such
as a micro-fiber cloth. Micro-fibre cloths are available from Barnes & Noble stores and from partner retailers. Do not
use any chemicals to clean the screen.
