Chapter 1 Getting Started
When you’re reading a book, menu items specific to that task include Change Font Size, Go
To…, Sync to Furthest Page Read, Book Description, Search This Book, Add Bookmark, View
Notes & Marks, and View Popular Highlights.
Home button: This button takes you to the Home screen, where you’ll find a list of the
books and other content stored on your Kindle.
Power button: To turn your Kindle on, press the power button. To put your Kindle in sleep
mode, press and release the power button; a screensaver appears on the display. To wake
up your Kindle, press the power button. To turn off your Kindle, press and hold the power
button for 7 seconds until the screen goes blank. If your Kindle does not power on or is
unresponsive during use, you can restart your device by pressing and holding the power
button for 20 seconds.
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, including personal documents, to
your Kindle.
Charging the battery
Charge your Kindle by plugging the supplied USB cable into a power source, such as a
computer or the Kindle power adapter (sold separately). A lightning bolt should appear on the
battery icon at the top of the Home screen.
The indicator light on the bottom edge of the device will turn amber while charging and green
when the battery is fully charged.
Charging should take less than three hours. 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: Right-click on the “Safely remove hardware” icon in the lower right-hand corner of
the task bar and follow the onscreen instructions to remove your Kindle.
• Mac OS: 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. You’ll see a lightning bolt on the battery status icon
that indicates your Kindle is still charging. 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.
Status indicators
At the top of the Home screen, you’ll see indicators that inform you about the status of your
Kindle. To view these indicators within a book or document, press the Menu button.
Wi-Fi status indicators
Your Kindle is connected to Whispernet using Wi-Fi. The more bars that are filled, the stronger
the Wi-Fi signal.
Your Kindle is checking for available Wi-Fi networks.
Battery status indicator
The Kindle battery indicator shows the various states of the battery as it discharges. Note that
a weak Wi-Fi signal can also increase power consumption. Subscribing to multiple blogs that
update frequently may increase power consumption and decrease the battery life.
