Safety and Care
This section explains important information about safety and about caring for your NOOK.
Water
CAUTION:
Your NOOK device, cables, and adapters are not waterproof. To avoid risk of electric shock,
overheating, melting, burns or other injury or damage, 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 or excessive
moisture. Do not expose your NOOK device, cables, and power adapter to wet or damp conditions.
Avoid exposing the device to liquid or food. If liquid is spilled on the device while it is on, turn
it off immediately. Clean the screen of your NOOK with a soft, lint-free or microber cloth
and avoid using spray or 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 ight crew.
To turn your NOOK’s wireless networking on or off, do this:
1. Drag down the status bar to reveal the Quick Settings menu.
2. Tap the Wi-Fi switch on or off. Or tap the Airplane Mode switch to on. vvAirplane Mode
turns off wireless networking but allows other features on your NOOK to work as usual.
3. Tap anywhere outside the Quick Settings window 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. 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.

Caution About High Audio Volume
WARNING:
Exposure to loud noise from any source for extended periods of time may affect your hearing.
The louder the volume, the faster your hearing may be affected. To protect your hearing:
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high volume.
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
• Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you. If you experience
hearing discomfort, including the sensation of pressure or fullness in your ears, ringing in
your ears, or muted speech, you should stop listening to the device through your headset
or headphones and have your hearing checked.
Caring for the Touchscreen
You should clean the touchscreen on your NOOK from time to time. Clean the screen with
a damp soft cloth, such as a micro-ber cloth. Micro-ber cloths are available from Barnes &
Noble stores and from partner retailers. Do not use any chemicals to clean the screen.
