Chapter 1 Getting Started
Headphone jack: Plug in headphones to listen to an audiobook, background music, or
content that is read aloud using Read-to-Me, the Kindle text-to-speech feature.
Charge indicator light: This light is amber when your Kindle is charging and green when the
battery is fully charged.
Power button: To turn your Kindle on, press the power button. To put your Kindle in sleep
mode, press and release the power button; the screensaver appears on the display. To turn
off your Kindle, press and hold the power button for seven seconds until the screen goes
blank. If your Kindle does not power on or is unresponsive during use, you can restart it by
pressing and holding the power button for 20 seconds.
Speakers: The back of your Kindle contains stereo speakers for audio content. Plugging in
headphones turns off the built-in speakers.
Micro-USB/power port: You can use the supplied USB cable to connect your Kindle to a
computer for charging the battery and transferring files. To charge your Kindle from a power
outlet, you will need an AC adapter (sold separately) for the USB cable.
When the device is charging, a lightning bolt appears on the battery icon at the top of the
Home screen. The indicator light on the bottom edge will turn amber while the battery is
charging and green when it is fully charged.
Charging should take less than four hours using a Kindle AC adapter. Charging using 3rd party
adapters or via USB should take less than four hours, but may take longer depending on the
capability of the hardware.
You can use your Kindle while it is connected via USB and charging from your computer by
unmounting or ejecting it so that Kindle exits USB drive mode.
• Windows Vista and 7: Click the Start button, select My Computer from the options, right-
click on the Kindle drive icon, and select Eject from the pop-up menu.
• WindowsXP: Right-click on the “Safely remove hardwareicon in the lower right-hand
corner of the task bar and follow the onscreen instructions to remove Kindle.
• MacOSX: Click the Eject button next to the Kindle in any Finder window, or drag it from
the Desktop to the Trash.
Your Kindle will then exit USB drive mode and display the Home screen. Your Kindle will
continue to charge in this mode. If the charge indicator light on the bottom edge of the
device does not come on, make sure that the USB cable is fully inserted into your Kindle
and into the USB port of the computer.
If your Kindle is still not charging, try another USB port or electrical outlet. Note that if your
Kindle is plugged into a low-powered USB port—such as those found on some keyboards
and older computers—it will not receive enough power to charge.
Onscreen actions
Your new Kindle Touch features a touchscreen interface that allows you to perform many
tasks with a just a tap or swipe of a finger.
To select an item, simply tap it. For example, tap a book name on your Home screen to go to
that book, or tap a button to perform that buttons action.
The EasyReach feature of Kindle Touch lets you effortlessly turn pages in a book or periodical
while holding the device with just one hand. Tapping almost anywhere in the display area
will take you to the next page—the area is large enough to be tapped whether you hold the
device with your left or right hand. Tap the left side of the screen to go to the previous page.
