Safety and Care
This section explains important information about safety and about caring for your NOOK.
Water
Caution: Your NOOK device, cables, and adapters are not waterproof. To avoid risk of electric shock, overheating, melting,
burns or other injury or damage, keep the device and all accessories away from water and other liquids.
Do not use the cable if either end of the cable gets wet or is exposed to liquid spray or excessive moisture. Do not expose
your NOOK device, cables, and power adapter to wet or damp conditions. Avoid exposing the device to liquid or food. If liquid
is spilled on the device while it’s turned on, turn it o immediately. Clean the screen of your NOOK with a soft, lint-free or
micro-fiber cloth and avoid using spray or liquid cleaners on screen.
Electricity
Your NOOK is an electrical device. Follow the same basic safety procedures you would follow with any electrical device.
When charging your NOOK, use only the custom components included with or sold for your NOOK: either a custom
USB cable or a custom USB cable along with a power adapter.
Airplanes
When using your NOOK on an airplane, be sure to follow the instructions of the flight crew.

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 networking turned on.
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:0°Cto35°C,32°Fto95°F
• Storage:-25°Cto60°C,-13°Fto140°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 limited 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”.
