Customising your Kindle settings
To go to the Settings page, tap the Menu button from the Home screen and select
Settings. Your Kindle must be registered to view all settings. The available settings are:
Aeroplane Mode: Allows you to enable or disable wireless connectivity.
Wi-Fi Networks: Use this option to connect to a Wi-Fi network, display a list of available
networks and view the name of the Wi-Fi network you are currently connected to, if any.
Registration: Indicates the Amazon account name to which your Kindle is registered. Use
this option to register and deregister your Kindle.
Device Options: Lets you set a passcode, enable Parental Controls, personalise the device
name, add personal info, set device time, control recommended content display, view your
Send-to-Kindle e-mail address, select a language for your device, add keyboards for different
languages and select dictionaries.
Device Passcode: Allows you to restrict access to your Kindle by setting a passcode. You'll
subsequently be prompted to enter the passcode whenever you turn on the device or wake
it from sleep. If you don't remember your passcode, you must contact Kindle Customer
Service.
Parental Controls: Choose between Kindle FreeTime and Restrictions. Use Kindle
FreeTime to create personalised profiles for your child, select books from your library to
share and set daily reading goals while automatically blocking access to places you may not
want your child to go, such as the Kindle Store, Goodreads on Kindle or the Experimental
Web Browser. Use Restrictions to manually block the Experimental Web Browser, Kindle
Store, Cloud and/or Goodreads on Kindle. When you set up Kindle FreeTime or turn on a
restriction for the first time, you will be prompted to create a password. Note that this
password will be required to make changes to settings within Parental Controls. To change
the password, select Change Password from the Parental Controls screen. If you forget your
password, reset it by visiting www.amazon.com/myk and deregistering your device or by
contacting Amazon Customer Service. When Restrictions are enabled or a FreeTime profile
is active, you will see a lock icon at the top of the screen next to the Wi-Fi status
indicator, and the Deregistration and Reset Device options will be disabled.
Personalise your Kindle: Lets you manage your device name, add personal and contact
information, set the device time, manage recommended content and view your Send-to-
Kindle E-mail address.
Device Name: Allows you to change the name displayed at the top of the Home screen.
Personal Info: Use this field to add personal or contact information, such as an address or
phone number, to help identify your Kindle in the event of its being lost.
