Charge the Battery
Your device is powered by a rechargeable, standard
Li-Ion battery. A Wall/USB Charger (charging head
and USB cable) is included with the device for
charging the battery from any standard outlet.
The battery comes partially charged. A fully
discharged battery requires up to four hours of
charge time. You can use the device while charging.
Caution: Use only Samsung-approved charging
devices and batteries. Samsung accessories are
designed to maximize battery life. Using other
accessories may invalidate your warranty and may
cause damage.
To charge the battery:
1. Insert the USB cable into the port.
2. Connect the USB cable to the charging head,
and then plug the charging head into a standard
outlet.
3. When charging is complete, unplug the charging
head from the outlet and remove the USB cable
from the device.
Caution: Failure to unplug the wall charger before you
remove the battery, can cause damage to the device.
When to Charge the Battery
When the battery is weak and only a few minutes
of operation remain, the battery icon () blinks
and the device sounds a warning tone at regular
intervals.
In this condition, your device conserves its
remaining battery power by dimming the screen.
When the battery level becomes too low, the device
automatically turns off.
► For a quick check of your battery level, view the
battery charge indicator located in the upperright corner of your device’s display. A solid
color (
) indicates a full charge.

formats tend to be intuitive and easy-to-use, so

described here, you should be able to find your way
through the publication without any trouble.

leaving the check box selected.
Note: Downloading videos may take some time.
The speed of the download will depend on the
length of the video and the bandwidth of your Wi-Fi
network. If you are planning to download a movie to
watch it offline (for example, in a location without a
Wi-Fi network, such as in a car or on a plane), we
recommend that you connect your NOOK to a power
source and begin downloading the movie as soon as
you have purchased or rented it.
Renting Movies
Note: You can wirelessly stream pictures, videos,
music and more to your HDTV or HDMI® display with
the Samsung WI-FI All-Share Cast Hub, Wireless HDMI
Display Adapter (sold separately).
Downloading Videos
Downloading means that you transfer the NOOK
Video content over a Wi-Fi connection to your
NOOK just as you download other content like
books and magazines. Once you have downloaded
a NOOK Video, you can watch it any time regardless
of whether or not your NOOK is connected to Wi-Fi
(though rented content must be watched within the
rental period, as described below). Unlike streamed
videos, downloaded videos do consume storage on
your NOOK.
If you plan to download many videos, you should
consider purchasing a microSD card to give your
NOOK extra storage.
You can rent movies on your NOOK.
Once you rent an item, you have 30 days to begin
watching it.
Once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to
finish watching it before the rental expires. You can
watch the item as many times as you like within that
24-hour period.
You can stream an item to begin watching it right
away, or you can download an item to begin
watching it within the 30-day rental period.
Note: You may download a rented movie to only
one device during the rental period, so be sure to
download only on the device on which you intend to
watch the movie. In contrast, you may stream movies
on all authorized NOOK devices during the rental
period. You may authorize up to five devices through
your NOOK account.

NOOK Profiles
A NOOK Profile™ tailors content

Deleting a NOOK Profile
Note: Deleting a user’s NOOK profile does NOT
remove the user account from the device. The lock
screen will continue to display the user’s icon, and the
user account can be used for other apps. However, if
the user wants to access NOOK apps or content, he
or she will have to sign in and set up a NOOK profile.
To delete a NOOK profile without deleting a user
account, do this:
1. While logged in as the primary profile, tap the
profiles icon in the Library or Shop to display a
list of profiles.
2. Tap Delete Profile, and then tap Delete to
confirm the removal.
Deleting a User Account
Note: Deleting a user’s account will remove the user
account from the device entirely. This includes the
NOOK profile on the device, as well as the user’s
Google account, Samsung account, and any other
local accounts associated with the user.
Note: Even if the user is deleted from the device, the
user’s profile remains associated with the primary
profile’s NOOK account. To remove a NOOK profile,
see the section above.
For example, if the Primary Profile owns a particular
NOOK Book and grants another profile access to
it, the book will appear in the other profile’s Library
with a download icon, indicating that the book is
available for download. To read the book, the other
profile simply has to tap its cover to download it to
the profile’s storage area on your NOOK.
Annotations, such as notes and highlights, are
specific to a profile. If one profile makes notes and
highlights in a book, they will not be visible to other
profiles reading the same book.
Similarly, if two profiles own the same book,
their reading positions in the book are tracked
independently. If one profile reads to page 17 and
the other profile reads to page 25, each profile
will be taken to his or her most recently read page
when the book is reopened. The first profile will be
returned to page 17; the second profile to page 25.

Profiles
The primary profile can assign content to adult
profiles and child profiles. An adult profile can
