Safety and Care
This section explains important information about safety and about caring for your
NOOK
.
Safety
If you follow some straightforward precautions, your
NOOK
is a safe device.
Electricity
Your
NOOK
is an electrical device. Only use an approved power adapter. If you open the back
cover, unplug the device from the power adapter and turn it off first.
Water
Your
NOOK
is not a waterproof device. If it starts to rain, get under cover or put your
NOOK
away. Don’t read in the bathtub. You could ruin your
NOOK
.
Situations that Demand Your Attention
Some situations demand your attention. If you shouldn’t be reading a book while doing them, then
you shouldn’t be reading on your
NOOK
either. Driving? Don’t even think about it. Operating a
train? Don’t be daft. Watching children? Yes, but only if you can do it in a way that fairly divides
your attention and does not endanger them. Use common sense—the eBook will still be on your
NOOK
to read tomorrow.
Airplanes
To use your
NOOK
on an airplane, set it to Airplane mode. For more information about use on
airplanes, see “Use on Airplanes” on page 38.
Electronic Equipment
If you are around sensitive electronic equipment, for example in a hospital, ask if you may use your
NOOK
. You probably can if you set it to Airplane mode, except in an intensive care setting.
Battery
Please note the following safety information about the battery:
•
Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred the battery.
•
Do not modify or remanufacture the battery, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery,
immerse the battery in or expose it to water or other liquids, or expose the battery to fire,
explosions, or other hazards.
