To register your NOOK, do this:
1. Turn on your NOOK if it is not already turned on.
To turn on your NOOK, press the power button along the upper left edge of the bezel and hold the button
down for 2 seconds. When it turns on for the first time, your NOOK displays a welcome message and a choice
of languages:
• American English
• British English
2. Tap the button for the language you want your NOOK to use on its screens. (This choice aects only the lan-
guage used in your NOOK’s user interface. It does not aect the language used in content such as books.)
Once you have selected a language, your NOOK displays a list of available Wi-Fi networks.
3. Tap on the name of the Wi-Fi network you want to use. If the network asks you for security information such as
a password, enter it.
If you don’t know the network name or password, ask the network’s administrator for help.

5. Set the country and time zone for your NOOK. Tap the underlined words and phrases and use the pop-up
menus to select your country and, if you are in the United States, your time zone. Tap Next.
Your NOOK registers itself and checks for critical software updates. If there are no updates, it proceeds next
to the Terms of Service screen. You must accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to continue using your
NOOK. To read the Terms and Service and the Privacy Policy, tap on the link provided.
6. If you agree to the terms, tap the Yes checkbox. Then tap the Agree button.

lows you to shop for new books, magazines, newspapers, videos, catalogs, and apps on your NOOK.
