Your NOOK includes a non-replaceable lithium ion battery. Do not attempt to replace the battery. If you suspect your battery is having problems, please contact Customer Service.

Caution About High Audio Volume

WARNING:

Exposure to loud noise from any source for extended periods of time may affect your hearing. The

 

louder the volume, the faster your hearing may be affected. To protect your hearing:

 

• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high volume.

 

• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.

 

• Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you. If you experience hearing

 

discomfort, including the sensation of pressure or fullness in your ears, ringing in your ears, or

 

muffled speech, you should stop listening to the device through your headset or headphones

 

and have your hearing checked.
