Your NOOK features a micro-USB port for charging and for connecting to a personal computer. The micro-USB port is located on the bottom edge of your NOOK, directly below the NOOK Home button.

Getting Started with Your NOOK

The first time you use your NOOK, you’ll need to go through a short set-up process that will take about 5 to 10 minutes. Make sure that you’re in an area that has a Wi-Fi® connection (a wireless connection to the Internet), because part of the process is registering your NOOK with your Barnes & Noble account on BN.com.

NOTE: You will not be able to set up your NOOK without a Wi-Fi connection.

In the set-up process, you will do the following:

•Turn on your NOOK by pressing the power button on the left edge of the device.

•Set the time zone.

•Connect to a Wi-Fi network.

•Accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

•Register your NOOK to a Barnes & Noble account.

NOTE: If you don’t already have a Barnes & Noble account, you’ll have an opportunity to create one during the registration step.

Your Barnes & Noble Account

A Barnes & Noble account allows you to purchase and download books, magazines, and newspapers on your NOOK, and from the Barnes & Noble Web site.

The account also allows you to synchronize your NOOK with any other NOOK devices you have, such as other NOOK tablets or eReaders, and with NOOK software apps, such as NOOK® for iOS, NOOK® for Android™, or NOOK® for Web.

If you don’t have a Barnes & Noble account, you can set one up in a few minutes on the NOOK Web site. Just open a browser on your computer, and visit http://MyNOOK.com. You’ll also have the opportunity to set up an account during the registration process for your NOOK.

Your Barnes & Noble account is ready for use once you have set up the following:

•An email address

•A default credit card number

•A valid expiration date for the credit card

•A current U.S. billing address

If you have any questions about setting up an account, please visit NOOK.com/support, or call Customer Service at 1-800-THE-BOOK (1-800-843-2665).

Power and Charging

Turning Your NOOK On and Off

Turning On Your NOOK

To turn on your NOOK, press the power button on the left side of your NOOK. Hold the button down for 2 seconds and release it.

Your NOOK starts up.

Turning Off Your NOOK

You do not need to turn your NOOK off when you stop using it.

With a fully charged battery and Wi-Fi and GlowLight turned off, your NOOK has enough power to support up to 6 weeks of casual reading. (Based on 30 minutes of reading per day and 1 page refresh per minute, a single charge lasts up to 6 weeks with GlowLight off and wireless off. Battery life tests conducted using specific units; actual results may vary based on device settings, usage, and many other factors.)

If you are carrying your NOOK without a cover in a bag or purse, you might want to turn off your NOOK to avoid it being accidentally turned on from its “sleeping” state. You also might want to turn off your NOOK simply to conserve power.

To turn off your NOOK, do this:

1.Press the power button and hold it down for 2 seconds.

A window appears, asking if you really want to turn your NOOK completely off.

2.Tap the Power off button in the dialog box. Your NOOK turns off.

NOTE: If you ignore the window asking you to confirm that you want to power off your NOOK, after several seconds the window disappears and your NOOK resumes whatever it was doing before you pressed the power button.

Charging Your NOOK

There are two ways to charge your NOOK. You can plug it into your personal computer. Or you can use the optional power adapter and plug it into a wall outlet. (The optional power adapter for your NOOK can be purchased from your local Barnes & Noble bookstore or at BN.com.) The diagram below shows the components available for charging your NOOK.

Charging Indicator Light will glow orange while charging and turn green when fully charged.

Micro-USB Port for charging and connecting to a computer.

USB Cable

To charge your NOOK from your personal computer, do this:

1.Insert the large end of the USB cable into a USB port on your personal computer.

2.Plug the NOOK end of the USB cable into your NOOK. If your NOOK was turned off, it will now turn itself on.

NOTE: Depending on how much power remains in the battery, it might take approximately 4 hours to fully recharge your NOOK through a USB port. Do not turn off 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.

NOTE: Some personal computers must be turned on in order to charge other devices through USB ports. When these computers are asleep or turned off, their USB ports are inactive, and no charging takes place. If you have connected your NOOK to your personal computer and the NOOK does not seem to be charging, check your computer’s documentation to determine what the requirements are for charging devices through USB ports.

3. Once your NOOK has fully charged, unplug the USB cable from your NOOK.

To charge your NOOK from a wall outlet with a power adapter, do this:

1.Assemble the power adapter and micro-USB cable. Insert the large end of the USB cable into the matching slot in the power adapter.

2.Plug the small end of the USB cable into your NOOK.

3.Plug the power adapter into a compatible electrical outlet. If your NOOK was turned off, it will now turn itself on.

NOTE: Depending on how much power remains in the battery, it might take approximately 3 hours to fully recharge your NOOK through an electrical outlet. Do not turn off 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.

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 10 seconds, then release the power button.

2.Press the power button again for 2 seconds to turn on your NOOK.

Low Power

You can see how much power remains in your battery by checking the battery icon in the Status Bar, or by checking the Battery indicator on the Device Info settings screen. (To see the Device Info screen, tap Settings in the NOOK Navigation Menu to open the main Settings screen, and then tap Device Info.)

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 sufficiently recharged.

Charging Recommendations

Your NOOK contains a rechargeable 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 off.

•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.

Safety and Care

This section explains important information about safety and about caring for your NOOK.

Waterproof

IP67 certified. Your NOOK is waterproof in fresh water for up to 30 minutes at a maximum depth of 1 meter (3.28 feet). Avoid immersion in saltwater or other liquids. The USB port must be completely dry before inserting a USB cable to charge your device or connect it to a computer.

1.If the device is exposed to fresh water, shake the device gently with the USB port facing down to remove excess water. Then, using a microfiber cloth, dry the device and the USB port thoroughly. Repeat this procedure until the USB port is completely dry and allow to further air-dry for 24hrs before using the USB port. Never use a hairdryer to dry any wet parts.

2.If the device is exposed to lightly chlorinated water from a swimming pool, first rinse the device and the USB port under fresh water. Then shake the device gently with the USB port facing down to remove excess water. Then, using a microfiber cloth, dry the device and the USB port thoroughly. Repeat this procedure until the USB port is completely dry and allow to further air-dry for 24hrs before using the USB port. Never use a hairdryer to dry any wet parts.

3.Do not expose the device to seawater, salt water, detergent, liquid chemicals or beverages other than fresh water. Use in moist environments with extreme temperatures, such as a hot shower or steam room, is not recommended.

4.Connecting the device while the USB port remains wet or exposing the device to liquids other than fresh water can cause damage to the device and void your warranty. Allow to air-dry 24hrs before connecting the USB port.

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 components included with or sold for your NOOK: either a cus-tom USB cable or a custom USB cable along with a power adapter.

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 off, do this:

1.Tap on the right end of the Status Bar to open the Quick Settings dialog box.

2.Tap the Wi-Fi checkbox to turn wireless networking on or off.

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. Settings such as intensive care units might forbid the use of any electronic device, with or without networking turned on.

Battery

Your NOOK includes a non-replaceable, rechargeable 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).

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:

•Operation: 00 C to 350 C, 320 F to 950 F

•Storage: -250 C to 600 C, -130 F to 1400 F

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 limited 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-fiber cloths are available from Barnes & Noble stores and from partner retailers. Do not use any chemicals to clean the screen.

B&N and Designer Covers

You can purchase an optional B&N or designer cover for your NOOK at your local Barnes & Noble Bookstore, at partner retailers, and online at BN.com. The cover helps protect your NOOK from daily wear and tear. It keeps dust from accumulating on the screen, reducing the need to clean it. The cover also provides some protection against spills.

Limited Warranty Coverage and the B&N Protection Plan

Your NOOK is backed by a one-year manufacturer’s limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. For a copy of this limited warranty, see “One Year Limited Warranty”. The limited warranty is also available at:

NOOK.com/warranty

In the event of any changes to the limited warranty, the version in effect on the Web site as of the date of purchase shall apply.

You can extend your NOOK’s coverage by purchasing a two-year B&N Protection Plan to help safeguard NOOK against spills, drops, and other accidents. The B&N Protection Plan can only be purchased together with a NOOK.

Information about the B&N Protection Plan can be found on the Web page listed above.

NOTE: To ensure the highest quality of reading, your NOOK has an anti-glare film already installed. Please don’t use any additional screen protector as it will damage the device. To protect your NOOK’s screen from accidental damage, we recommend using a NOOK cover. Your limited warranty does not cover damage to your NOOK’s screen resulting from use of an additional screen protector.

Unlocking Your NOOK

When your NOOK has been idle, your NOOK goes to “sleep.” Your NOOK displays a screensaver on the screen. It also locks the screen so that accidental touches do not perform actions.

To wake up your NOOK, press the power button on the upper left edge of your device.

Using Gestures to Control Your NOOK

Your NOOK puts great reading material right at your fingertips. To read that material, to share it, to rate it, and so on, you’ll use your fingers in different ways.

Your NOOK recognizes these different gestures:

•Tap

•Double tap

•Press and hold

•Swipe

•Scroll

Tap

A tap on the screen is a quick touch of your fingertip. It’s the same gesture you use when you tap a key on a computer keyboard.

Tapping on a book cover

Double Tap

Tapping twice quickly on the screen is a useful short-cut for many features.

In the Library or the Shop, double-tapping on the cover of a book or periodical opens a window with details about the item.

Press and Hold

Pressing and holding means touching your finger to the screen and holding it there for 2 seconds.

In many situations, pressing and holding causes your NOOK to open menu at the bottom of the screen. The menu offers you choices about the image your finger is resting on.

For example, if you press and hold on a word in a book, your NOOK opens a menu offering you choices of things you can do with that book: highlight the word, write a note, look the word up in a dictionary, and so on.

Pressing and holding on a word in a book and then lifting your finger opens the Text Selection Toolbar.

Swipe

To swipe is to slide your finger across the screen, usually to the left or right.

You can swipe to turn pages in a book you are reading.

Swiping to scroll left and right.

Scroll

Slide your finger up or down the screen to scroll through any list displaying up and down arrows at the bottom of the screen. A scroll gesture is like a vertical swipe.

The NOOK Navigation Buttons

The NOOK Navigation Buttons or Nav Buttons are a row of buttons at the bottom of the Home screen that make it easy to move from one area of your NOOK to another. For example, if you want to move from the Library to the Shop, you can simply tap the NOOK Home button to display the Home screen and tap the Shop button to display the Shop screen.

To open the NOOK Navigation Menu, tap the NOOK button on the front bezel of your NOOK. The Navigation Menu appears on the bottom of the Home screen, as shown below.

Tapping the NOOK Home button displays the Home screen and the NOOK Nav Buttons.

The NOOK Navigation Menu offers these choices for navigation:

•Library

•Shop

•B&N Readouts

•Settings

•Search

The Status Bar

A Status Bar runs along the top of the NOOK touchscreen. The Status Bar looks like this when GlowLight is turned on:

The Status Bar with GlowLight turned on.

The Status Bar appears on the Home Screen, the Library, the Shop, the Search screen, and on Settings screens. A slightly different version appears in books or periodicals when you open the Reading Tools.

The Left Side of the Status Bar

The left side of the Status Bar presents:

•An open book icon that returns you to the book, magazine, or newspaper you were most recently reading.

The Right Side of the Status Bar

The right side of the status bar presents:

•A digital clock showing the current time:

•A lightbulb icon that indicates whether GlowLight is turned on or off:

•A wireless connection indicator:

•A battery charge indicator:

The lightbulb icon indicates whether GlowLight is turned on or off. If GlowLight is on, an icon representing an illuminated lightbulb icon appears in the Status Bar. If GlowLight is turned off, an icon representing a crossed-out lightbulb appears instead.

The wireless connection indicator displays a stack of concentric curves, indicating the strength of your NOOK’s connection to a local Wi-Fi network. The higher the stack of curves, the stronger the connection. In general, it’s best to have at least 2 or 3 curves showing to have a reliable connection. If no curves are shown, the NOOK is not connected to a network.

By default, the NOOK status bar displays time on a 12-hour clock. To change the time or to switch to a 24-hour clock, set the 24-hour clock option on the Time Settings screen.

GlowLight

Your NOOK includes GlowLight, a built-in light that enables you to read even in dim lighting conditions.

Turning GlowLight On or Off and Adjusting Its Brightness

You can also turn GlowLight on or off in the Quick Settings window.

1.On the Home screen, in the Library, in the Shop, on the Search screen, or in Settings, tap the lightbulb icon or Wi-Fi symbol in the Status Bar.

Your NOOK opens the Quick Settings window.

2.Change the GlowLight setting as you like.

•If GlowLight is off, swipe the GlowLight slidebar to turn GlowLight on. Slide the circle on the slidebar to make GlowLight bright or dimmer.

•If GlowLight is on, swipe the GlowLight slidebar all the way to the left to turn GlowLight off.

3.To close the Quick Settings window, tap the dark triangle at the bottom of the window, or tap anywhere outside the window.

The Home Screen

The Home screen gives you easy access to the books and periodicals you have recently read or purchased.

In the top portion of the screen, you’ll see the cover of the most recent books or periodicals you’ve been reading. The New & Recent panel has room for three titles.

Here’s an example of a Home screen:

The Home screen.

The New & Recent Shelf

At the top of the Home screen, the New & Recent panel shows the covers of the books or periodicals you have most recently purchased or were most recently reading. If you have not read a book or periodical yet, the New & Recent panel shows the cover of the NOOK User Guide or NOOK Quick Guide. These two guides are automatically included in your Library.

To open any book or periodical shown in the New & Recent panel, tap on its cover.

The Picked for You Shelf

At the bottom of the screen, you’ll see a shelf with book recommendations for you. The recommendations are based on your recent purchases.

To learn more about a particular book or periodical, tap its cover. Your NOOK opens a detailed description of the book, including an overview, a list of reviews, a list of related titles, and a button for purchasing the book or periodical. The details page of a book might also include a button for downloading a free sample.

The picture below shows an example of a details page about a recommended book.

The Details page for a book.

Returning to the Home Screen

You can return to the Home screen at any time by pressing the NOOK button on the lower front of your NOOK.

Reading Books on Your NOOK

You can read books, magazines, and newspapers on your NOOK. You can make notes about what you’re reading, highlight and annotate favorite passages, and share your thoughts and recommendations with friends on social sites such as Facebook.

Your NOOK makes reading books fun. To start reading, simply tap on a book’s cover. The book opens and fills the page. Then you can use the features described in this section to get the most out of your reading experience.

While you’re reading, you can customize the look of the page. You can switch fonts, make type bigger or smaller, and adjust line-spacing and margins. You can switch between page designs whenever you like.

Opening a Book
