Registration Instructions

The first thing you must do to begin using your eBook is to register it through the modem connection. Your

Registering your eBook is important because it sets up your personal eBook Account and Online Bookshelf

your eBook.

If you are registering your eBook from a location other than your home, you will need to change the
modem preferences.

1. Turn on your eBook.

2. Tap the Bookshelf icon.

3. Tap Settings from the list of options.

4. Tap Modem.

Then change the preferences accordingly.

Follow these instructions to register using the modem.

phone jack.

Your eBook will dial a toll-free number and connect your eBook to the registration computer. Allow a few
minutes for the registration forms to appear then follow the on-screen instructions.

What You Get For Registering

After the registration is complete, an eBook Account is created for you. You can now purchase eBook
Editions either through the modem or your PC. (Refer to the “eBook Librarian User’s Guide” loaded on
the CD-ROM for more information on purchasing eBook Editions through the PC). Whenever you
purchase an eBook Edition, your eBook Account stores it. You can download the eBook Edition
immediately after purchasing or download at a later time. As an eBook owner, you will be able to get the
books you want to read earlier, faster and easier than virtually any other source for mobile electronic

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. It has been
tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one more of
the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the eBook and the receiver.

• Connect the eBook power adapter to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.

RJ11C. The RJ11C plugs and/or jacks must comply with FCC Part 68 rules.

If your telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the Telephone Company may
discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. But if advance notice isn't
practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be informed of your right to file a complaint
with the FCC.

Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that
could affect the proper functioning of your equipment. If they do, you will be notified in advance to give
you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone service.

This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party
lines is subject to state tariff.

Industry Canada Statement

Industry Canada (IC) Statement

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set
out in the radio interference regulations of Industry Canada.

NOTICE: The Industry Canada Label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the
equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements, as
prescribed in the appropriate terminal equipment requirement document(s). The Department does not
guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities
of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable
method of connection. In some cases, the company's inside wiring associated with a single line individual
service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The
customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of
service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by
the supplier.

Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the
telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility,
telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution
may be particularly important in rural areas.

CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the
maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an
interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the
Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.
