Power switch — puts your Kindle to sleep, wakes it up, and turns your Kindle on
or off. To put your Kindle to sleep, slide and release the power switch; a full screen
image appears on the display. While your Kindle is asleep, other keys and buttons
are locked so that you don’t accidentally change the place in your reading. To turn
your Kindle off, slide and hold the power switch for four seconds until the screen
goes blank and then release. To wake up or turn on your Kindle, slide and release the
power switch again.
If your Kindle does not power on or is unresponsive during use, try resetting the
device by disconnecting your Kindle from any power source, and then sliding and
holding the power switch for 15 seconds before releasing.
Tip: Your Kindle will also go to sleep by itself after ten minutes if you are not using
it. If your Kindle had wireless on prior to going to sleep, it will continue to receive your
regularly scheduled subscriptions while in sleep.
Headphone jack — plug in headphones to listen to an audiobook, background music,
or content read aloud through text-to-speech. Attaching headphones turns off the
built-in speakers.
