Safety and Care
This section explains important information about safety and about caring for your NOOK.
Water
CAUTION:
Your NOOK, cables, and adapters are not waterproof.
To avoid risk of overheating, melting, and burns,
keep the device and all accessories away from water and other liquids.
Do not use the cable if either end of the cable gets wet or is exposed to liquid spray. Allow the
end(s) of the cable to dry thoroughly before trying to use the cable. Do not expose your NOOK
to wet or damp conditions. Avoid exposing the device to liquid or food. If liquid is spilled on the
device, make sure to unplug the charging cable and allow the device to dry thoroughly before
reusing. Do NOT attempt to dry out your NOOK with an external heat source such as a dryer or
microwave oven. Clean the screen of your NOOK with a soft cloth and avoid using liquid cleaners
on the screen.
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 USB cable and power adapter included with your NOOK.
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. Slide the Wireless switch 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. You probably can if you turn off Wi-Fi networking. Settings such as intensive care units might forbid the use
of any electronic device, with or without networking.
Battery
Your NOOK includes a non-replaceable
lithium ion
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).
