The Status Bar
A Status Bar runs along the top of the NOOK touchscreen. The Status Bar looks like this when GlowLight is turned on:
The Status Bar with GlowLight turned on.
The Status Bar appears on the Home Screen, the Library, the Shop, the Search screen, and on Settings screens. A slightly dierent
version appears in books or periodicals when you open the Reading Tools.

The lightbulb icon indicates whether GlowLight is turned on or o. If GlowLight is on, an icon representing an illumi-nated
lightbulb icon appears in the Status Bar. If GlowLight is turned o, an icon representing a crossed-out lightbulb appears instead.
The wireless connection indicator displays a stack of concentric curves, indicating the strength of your NOOK’s con-nection to
a local Wi-Fi network. The higher the stack of curves, the stronger the connection. In general, it’s best to have at least 2 or 3
curves showing to have a reliable connection. If no curves are shown, the NOOK is not con-nected to a network.
By default, the NOOK status bar displays time on a 12-hour clock. To change the time or to switch to a 24-hour clock,
et the 24-hour clock option on the Time Settings screen.
