Adjusting the Screen Timeout
When your NOOK has been setting for some amount of time and no activity has taken place (e.g., you haven’t
tapped the screen or pressed any buttons), your NOOK turns o its screen to conserve power. When that happens,
you can turn on your NOOK again simply by pressing the NOOK button.
By default, your NOOK waits 5 minutes before turning o the screen.
To adjust the screen timeout for your NOOK, do this:
1. On the Setting screen, tap Screen.
2. On the Screen Settings page, tap the menu choice Screen timeout.
A dialog box appears with four menu choices:
• 2minutes
• 5minutes
• 15minutes
• 1hour
3. Tap the menu choice listing the amount of time you want your NOOK to wait.
The dialog box closes. Your change takes eect right away.
Selecting a Screensaver
The Screensaver is the image your NOOK displays after it has been idle for the amount of time you configured
as the screen timeout (see above). Your NOOK includes three built-in groups of screensavers:
• Authors - pictures of famous authors
• Classics - passages from classic books
• Quotes - quotes from famous authors
To change the screensaver on your NOOK, do this:
1 On the Settings screen, tap Screen.
2. On the Screen Settings page, tap the Screensaver button.
A dialog box opens, listing the screensavers available.
3. Tap the name of the screensaver or set of screensavers you want to use.
The dialog box closes, and your selection takes eect right away, though you won’t see the screensaver until
the next time your NOOK goes to sleep.
