Barnes & Noble BNRV300 manual Caring for Your NOOK, Airplanes, Electronic Equipment, Battery

Airplanes

When using your NOOK on an airplane, be sure to follow the instructions of the flight crew.

To turn your NOOK’s wireless networking on or off, do this:

1.Tap on the right end of the Status Bar to open the Quick Settings dialog box.

2.Slide the Wireless switch on or off.

3.Tap anywhere outside the Quick Settings dialog box 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 network- ing.

Battery

Your NOOK includes a non-replaceable, rechargeable battery. Do not attempt to replace the battery. If you suspect your battery is having problems, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-THE-BOOK(1-800-843-2665).

Caring for Your NOOK

To take the best possible care of your NOOK, please follow the recommendations below.

Temperature Ranges

Your NOOK should function as designed in these temperature ranges:

•Operation: 00 C to 400 C, 320 F to 1040 F

•Storage: -250 C to 600 C, -130 F to 1400 F

Outside of these ranges, your NOOK might develop power, display, and/or software issues. If temperatures are extremely cold or hot, permanent physical damage can result. Such damage is not covered by the warranty. Storage applies to temporary locations like the trunk of your car (or other motor vehicle) as well as long-term storage.

Even on a day that is not very hot, the passenger compartment or trunk of a car can be extremely hot. Do not leave your NOOK in a car.

High storage temperatures reduce battery life. For more information, see “Charging Recommendations”.

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-fiber cloth. Micro-fibre cloths are available from Barnes & Noble stores and from partner retailers. Do not use any chemicals to clean the screen.

B&N and Designer Covers

You can purchase an optional B&N or designer cover for your NOOK at your local Barnes & Noble Bookstore, at partner retailers, and online at BN.com. The cover helps protect your NOOK from daily wear and tear. It keeps dust from accumulating on the screen, reducing the need to clean it. The cover also provides some protection against spills.
