Status indicators
At the top of the Home screen, you’ll see indicators that inform you about the status of
various Kindle services. To view these indicators within a document, tap the top of the screen
to display the toolbars.
Wireless status indicators
The Amazon Whispernet service wirelessly delivers content to your Kindle whenever and
wherever you want it. Your Kindle can connect to Whispernet via its built-in Wi-Fi capability;
some models also include free 3G connectivity to Whispernet.
The more bars on the Wi-Fi or 3G status indicator that are filled in, the stronger the signal.
Kindle is connected to Whispernet using Wi-Fi.
Kindle is connected to Whispernet using a 3G cellular network. Alternatively, you may see an
icon for an EDGE or GPRS network next to the signal-strength bars.
Battery status indicator
The Kindle battery indicator will show the various states of the battery as it discharges. Note
that a weak wireless signal can increase power consumption.
Activity indicator
This indicator appears in the top left corner of your Kindle screen when the device is busy
downloading new content, checking for new items, searching for an item, opening a large
PDF file, or loading a web page.
Setting up your Kindle Touch
Setting up your Kindle includes connecting to a Wi-Fi or cellular network and registering your
Kindle to an Amazon account.
About network connections: Books, magazines, and other materials are delivered directly
to your Kindle via its built-in network connectivity. If your Kindle offers both Wi-Fi and 3G
connectivity, use Wi-Fi whenever possible for faster downloads. You can connect to a Wi-Fi
network at home or to hotspots around the world. To view available Wi-Fi networks, from
the Home screen, tap the Menu button and select Settings. On the Settings page, tap Wi-Fi
Networks, then tap the name of the network you want to use. If you see a lock symbol next
to the network name, it requires a password.
Kindle models that include 3G connectivity use the same technology as cell phones, so they
are dependent on cellular coverage areas. By default, a 3G Kindle will automatically connect
to a 3G network. If there isn’t sufficient 3G signal strength, it will connect to a slower GPRS
or EDGE network. Your Kindle automatically turns off 3G coverage when you connect using
Wi-Fi. If you disconnect from a Wi-Fi network or move out of Wi-Fi range, Kindle switches
back to 3G coverage.
