tap Aeroplane Mode. Any periodical downloads or other pending updates that require a wireless

VoiceView screen reader
The VoiceView screen reader lets you navigate your Kindle using special gestures, receive voice
guidance when you interact with items on the screen, and listen to millions of books. You can pair a
Bluetooth audio device for use with the VoiceView screen reader when setting up your Kindle.
Please read all instructions before starting setup and then reference them as needed. There will be
no audio announcement or feedback until the last step.
1. Press the Power button once to turn on your Kindle. The Power button is located on the
bottom of the device next to the Micro-USB/power port.
2. Wait 45 seconds.
3. Put your Bluetooth audio device into pairing mode.
4. Press and hold the Power button for 7 seconds.
5. Hold two fingers spaced apart on the screen for 1 second, and then wait up to 2 minutes
to hear audio.
6. When you hear audio from your Bluetooth device, hold two fingers spaced apart on the
screen.
Troubleshooting: If you do not hear any audio from your Bluetooth device within 2 minutes of
completing step 5, confirm your Bluetooth audio device is in pairing mode and repeat steps 4 and 5.
Once your audio device is connected and VoiceView is enabled for the first time, the VoiceView
tutorial will begin. You will also be prompted to complete setup, including connecting to a wireless
network and registering your Kindle.
To turn on VoiceView after setup, hold down the Power button for 7 seconds, and then hold two
fingers on the screen. You can also turn VoiceView on and off in Settings. To manage VoiceView
screen reader settings, tap the Quick Actions icon on the toolbar, and then tap All Settings. On the
Settings page, tap Accessibility. If VoiceView is currently enabled, the All Settings option in Quick
Actions will change to VoiceView Settings.

Screensaver

details on the offer, wake up your Kindle, then tap the Tap for Details area. To unlock your Kindle
without viewing offer details, swipe your finger to unlock. Special Offers and Sponsored Screensavers
are updated regularly when your Kindle is connected to a network.
