The Settings Menu

The Settings menu allows you to go to other places on your Kindle, as well as update your software or restart your device. These menu options are defined below. To display the Settings menu, press the Menu button while you are on the Settings screen.

Turn Wireless Off — turns off Whispernet wireless service. When Whispernet is off, this option will change to Turn Wireless On. For Kindle models that include both 3G and Wi-Fi, turning wireless off disables 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity. For Kindle Wi-Fi only models, turning wireless off disables Wi-Fi network connections.

Shop in Kindle Store — takes you to the storefront of the Kindle Store.

Change Primary Dictionary — change the dictionary you are using for the built-in Lookup function. This menu option is only available if you have at least one additional dictionary on your Kindle besides the default dictionary The New Oxford American Dictionary.

Update Your Kindle — installs the latest software for your Kindle. When an update is loaded on your device, this menu option becomes available; otherwise it is dimmed.

Restart — restarts your Kindle.

Reset to Factory Defaults — resets your Kindle to its original factory settings and restarts your device. You should only select this action if instructed to do so by Kindle Customer Service. Before you reset your Kindle to factory defaults, you must back up any personal documents, periodical issues older than the past seven issues that you’d like to keep, MP3, and Audible files. Once your Kindle restarts, you must create a new device password if you want to continue to password-protect your Kindle.

Legal — provides trademark, copyright, and other notices about the software installed on your Kindle.

Sync & Check for Items — connects to Amazon to download any newly available items and sync the furthest page read and annotations for all the books on your device.
