Power and Charging 21
If your personal computer sleeps or hibernates, it will probably stop charging your
NOOK
.
To charge your
NOOK
, adjust the settings on your computer so that it does not sleep or
hibernate.
We recommend that you turn your
NOOK
on before plugging it into USB. If you plug your
NOOK
into USB when it is off, your personal computer might have trouble recognizing your
NOOK
while it
is starting. Your computer should recognize your
NOOK
after your
NOOK
has completed its startup.
The first time you connect your
NOOK
to a personal computer, your
NOOK
should be
on. The computer will install USB drivers for your
NOOK
, and display a message that this
operation is in progress. It will also display a message when it completes installing drivers.
You can ignore these messages. They do not affect charging.
