To charge your NOOK using the power adapter:
1 Assemble the power adapter and USB cable. Insert the large end of the USB cable into the
matching receptacle on the power adapter.
2 Plug the
NOOK end of the USB cable into your NOOK.
3 Plug the power adapter into a compatible electrical outlet. If your
NOOK was o, it turns on.
Do not turn it o again. Your
NOOK charges.
4 When charging, the charging indicator light to the left of the USB port lights up yellow.
5 When your
NOOK is fully charged, the charging indicator light goes out.
6 Unplug the power adapter from the electrical outlet and unplug the USB cable from your
NOOK.
USB Charging
While your NOOK is charging through USB, you can use it as a USB drive, or you can eject/
unmount the
NOOK drive and a supplemental microSD card drive if present and use your
NOOK for reading. We recommend that you do not shop or download content while USB
charging.
You can charge your
NOOK from a USB port on a personal computer. This is convenient if you are
using USB drive mode on your
NOOK to transfer files, or if you are using a personal computer for
other things. It is not, however, the fastest way to charge your
NOOK. You can charge your NOOK
through USB when it is on or sleeping. If your
NOOK is o, it will not charge, so it turns on when
you plug it in.
If your personal computer sleeps or hibernates, it will probably stop charging your NOOK.
To charge your NOOK, adjust the settings on your computer so that it does not sleep or
hibernate.
