Wireless Connectivity
63
UMTS W-CDMA (3G), and HSDPA B&N Fast & Free Wireless networks. Your
NOOK
automatically
connects to the fastest network present that has sufficient signal strength.
When not in the Reader, if your
NOOK
is connected to B&N Fast & Free Wireless, the status bar
contains an icon that gives the B&N Fast & Free Wireless signal strength (from low to high):
In Areas Without B&N Fast & Free Wireless
In areas without B&N Fast & Free Wireless, your
NOOK
can connect to supported Wi-Fi hotspots.
For information about Wi-Fi hotspots, see “Configuring and Using Wi-Fi Hotspots” on page 61.
If you use your
NOOK
in an area without B&N Fast & Free Wireless coverage:
1
If you have
never
been in an area with B&N Fast & Free Wireless coverage, connect to a Wi-Fi
hotspot. This sets the minutes value of the time.
2
Set the time zone in which you use your
NOOK
. Tap
settings > Display > Clock > Time zone
and choose your time zone and
settings > Display > Clock > Daylight Saving Time
to turn
Daylight Saving Time on or off.
If you choose a time zone from the menus, and then travel somewhere with B&N Fast & Free
Wireless coverage, your
NOOK
will switch to the time zone indicated by the wireless network
connection, and Daylight Saving Time will be taken into account.
If you travel back to an area without coverage, choose the time zone again and set Daylight Saving
Time if necessary.
Dropped Connections and Lost Wi-Fi Connectivity
If your
NOOK
is performing an action over the air and the B&N Fast & Free Wireless connection is
dropped (for example, if the signal strength is poor), or if the Wi-Fi network goes down, it will do
its best to resume what it is doing. If it can resume, it will not inform you about the lost connection.
If it cannot resume, it will inform you that you should repeat the operation in an area with better
signal strength or when the Wi-Fi network is up again.
In Areas with No Wireless Connectivity
In areas with no wireless connectivity (no B&N Fast & Free Wireless, no Barnes & Noble Bookstore
hotspot, and no manually configured Wi-Fi hotspot), you can still use your
NOOK
as an eReader.
You can read anything that is in the local library on your
NOOK
. You can also obtain new B&N
content through an Internet connection on your personal computer (buy digital content from the
Barnes & Noble online store), and then transfer the files from your computer to the My Documents
part of your library on your
NOOK
using the USB cable.
