16 Barnes & Noble NOOK User Guide
To charge your NOOK from a wall outlet with a power adapter, do this:
1. Assemble the power adapter and microUSB cable. Insert the large end of the USB cable into the matching slot in
the power adapter.
2. Plug the small end of the USB cable into your NOOK.
3. Plug the power adapter into a compatible electrical outlet. If your NOOK was turned o, it will now turn itself
on.
NOTE: Depending on how much power remains in the battery, it might take around 3 hours to fully recharge
your NOOK through an electrical outlet. Do not turn o your NOOK while it is charging.
NOTE: Once your NOOK has enough power to turn on, you can see how much power remains in the battery
by checking the battery charge indicator in the right corner of the Status Bar.
4. Once your NOOK has fully charged, unplug the power adapter from the electrical outlet. Unplug the USB cable
from your NOOK.
Resetting Your NOOK
Performing a Soft Reset
If for some reason your NOOK becomes unresponsive, you can perform a soft reset to restart the device.
1. Press and hold the power button for 20 seconds, then release the power button.
2. Press the power button again for 2 seconds to turn on your NOOK.
Low Power
You can see how much power remains in your battery by checking the battery icon in the Status Bar, or by checking
the Battery indicator on the Device Info settings screen. (To see the Device Info screen, tap the NOOK button, tap
settings, and on the Settings screen tap the Device Info menu choice.)
If you turn on your NOOK when its battery charge is almost depleted, a warning appears on the screen, suggesting
that you begin charging your NOOK before trying to use it.
If the battery is depleted, your NOOK will shut down until it has been suciently recharged.
Charging Recommendations
Your NOOK contains a rechargeable battery. To maximize battery life:
• Avoid fully discharging the battery. Charge your NOOK after several hours of use or when you see the low
charge alert, rather than continuing to use it until it turns itself o.
• Avoid high temperatures for charging, use, and storage. For more information, see “Temperature Ranges.”
• Charge the battery half way before storing your NOOK for a week or more.
