Turning Your NOOK On and O
NOTE: If you have set up a passcode to protect your NOOK, you will have to enter the passcode after you
turn on your NOOK. See “Using a Device Lock Passcode to Protect Your NOOK”.
Turning On Your NOOK
To turn on your NOOK, press the power button located on the left edge of your NOOK. Hold the button down for
5 seconds and release it.
Your NOOK starts. When it has completed its start-up process, it makes a chiming sound.
Turning O Your NOOK
You do not need to turn your NOOK o when you stop using it. With a fully charged battery and with Wi-Fi turned
on, your NOOK has enough power to last in a suspended “sleeping” state for many days. With a fully charged bat-
tery and with Wi-Fi turned o, your NOOK has enough power to last in a suspended state for several weeks.
On the other hand, if you are carrying your NOOK without a cover in a bag or purse, you might want to turn o
your NOOK to avoid it being accidentally turned on from its “sleeping” state. You also might want to turn o your
NOOK simply to conserve power.
To turn o your NOOK, do this:
1. Press the power button and hold it down for 5 seconds.
A window appears, asking if you really want to turn your NOOK completely o.
2. Tap the Power o button in the dialog box.
Your NOOK turns o.
NOTE: If you ignore the window asking you to confirm that you want to power o your NOOK, after several
seconds the window disappears and your NOOK resumes whatever it was doing before you pressed
the power button.
