Caring for Your NOOK

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

Temperature RangesYour 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.

Warranty Coverage and the B&N Protection Plan

Your NOOK is backed by a one-year manufacturer’s warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. For a copy of this warranty, see “One Year Limited Warranty”. The warranty is also available at:

www.nook.com/warranty

In the event of any changes to the warranty, the version in effect on the Web site as of the date of purchase shall apply.”

You can extend your NOOK’s coverage by purchasing a two-year B&N Protection Plan to help safeguard NOOK against spills, drops, and other accidents. The B&N Protection Plan can only be purchased together with a NOOK, not later.

Information about the B&N Protection Plan can be found on the Web page listed above.

NOTE: To ensure the highest quality of reading imaginable, NOOK Simple Touch™ with GlowLight™ has an anti-glare, screen protector already installed. The use of any additional screen protectors may damage the device and will void the warranty.
