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 is on, turn
it off immediately. Clean the screen of your NOOK with a soft, lint-free or microfiber cloth
and avoid using spray or liquid cleaners on the 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 USB cable and power adapter included
with your NOOK.
Airplanes
When using your NOOK on an airplane, be sure to follow the instructions of the flight crew.
To turn your NOOK’s wireless networking on or off, do this:
1. Drag down the status bar to reveal the Quick Settings menu.
2. Tap the Wi-Fi switch on or off. Or tap the Airplane Mode switch to on. vvAirplane Mode
turns off wireless networking but allows other features on your NOOK to work as usual.
3. Tap anywhere outside the Quick Settings window to close it.
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.
Battery
Your NOOK includes a non-replaceable lithium ion battery. Do not attempt to replace the
battery. If you suspect your battery is having problems, please contact Customer Service.

Caution About High Audio Volume
WARNING:
Exposure to loud noise from any source for extended periods of time may affect your hearing.
The louder the volume, the faster your hearing may be affected. To protect your hearing:
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high volume.
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
• Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you. If you experience
hearing discomfort, including the sensation of pressure or fullness in your ears, ringing in
your ears, or muted speech, you should stop listening to the device through your headset
or headphones and have your hearing checked.
Caring for the Touchscreen
You should clean the touchscreen on your NOOK from time to time. Clean the screen with
a damp soft cloth, such as a micro-fiber cloth. Micro-fiber cloths are available from Barnes &
Noble stores and from partner retailers. Do not use any chemicals to clean the screen.

Manage Content for a NOOK Profile
Share Content
The same content can be shared by multiple profiles. Each profile may need to download the
content independently to access it.
For example, if the Primary Profile owns a particular NOOK Book and grants another profile
access to it, the book may appear in the other profile’s Library with a download icon, indicating
that the book is available for download. To read the book, the other profile simply has to tap
its cover to download it to the profile’s storage area on your NOOK.
Annotations, such as notes and highlights, are specific to a profile. If one profile makes notes

and highlights in a book, they will not be visible to other profiles reading the same book.

profile will be taken to his or her most recently read page when the book is reopened. The
first profile will be returned to page XXX; the second profile to page XXX.

and plan to always keep their SD card inserted. This option adopts your SD card into the tablet’s
internal storage to increase storage space for supported apps and data.
Removing the SD card after it is set to Internal storage will prevent access to all apps and data
stored on it until it is re-inserted. Your SD card will also not be readable by other devices until it
is formatted.
How to change/format from Portable Storage (Default) to Internal Storage:

This Limited Warranty provides for specific legal rights with respect to your NOOK® device.
Please review it care- fully. You may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.

WHAT WARRANTIES APPLY TO MY NOOK? What is Covered?
This Limited Warranty covers your NOOK. For purposes of this Limited Warranty, “NOOK”
means only the hard- ware comprising: (i) your NOOK device; and (ii) the peripherals included
in the packaging with your NOOK device.

Express Warranty
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Limited Warranty, barnesandnoble.com llc (“B&N”)
warrants to the original retail purchaser only (“you”) that your NOOK will be free from defects
in materials and workmanship under nor- mal consumer use for a period of one (1) year
from the date of original retail purchase (the “Warranty Period”). This express warranty is not
transferable to subsequent owners of the product. If your NOOK was originally purchased by

retail purchaser” of that NOOK.

Implied Warranty
You may also have implied warranties under the laws of some jurisdictions. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, such implied warranties are limited to the duration of the Warranty Period. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on the duration of an implied warranty,

warranties. However, some jurisdictions extend the protection of implied warranties to subsequent consumers, so this limitation may not apply to you.

NOOK?
To make a warranty claim or arrange for the return of your NOOK pursuant to the NOOK
TERMS OF SERVICE, you must contact B&N at one of the following numbers during the Warranty Period:
•

HOW DO I RETURN MY NOOK TO B&N?
When you contact B&N at one of the numbers above, B&N will provide instructions to you as
to how and where
to return your NOOK. Your NOOK must be shipped, prepaid and insured, in appropriate protective packaging, together with proof of purchase and the Return Authorization Number provided
by B&N, to the address specified by B&N. You must return your NOOK within the timeframe
provided by B&N. You may also be required to provide a credit card to obtain an advance
replacement before B&N receives your NOOK at its returns center.
All returned NOOKs become the property of B&N.
Before you send your NOOK to B&N, it is your responsibility to back up any data, software or
files stored on your NOOK because B&N will only return your NOOK to you if it is not covered
by this Limited Warranty and B&N has not provided an advance replacement. B&N is not responsible for any loss of your data, software or files or for the cost of backing up your data, software or
files.
If you do not comply with the terms above or with B&N’s instructions, there may be delays in
service or you may incur additional expenses. In particular, if you do not return your NOOK
within the timeframe specified by B&N, B&N reserves the right to charge you the purchase
price for a replacement NOOK. You will be solely responsible for any cost, expense, loss or
the like relating to your failure to comply with such terms or B&N’s instructions.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY?
This Limited Warranty does not cover damage or malfunctions caused by accident, disaster,
misuse (including any use in a manner contrary to the instructions contained in any user guide
or on the packaging of the device), abuse, negligence or other external causes; third-party
products; Internet or telecommunications failures; commercial use; unauthorized opening, use,
service, tampering, alteration, repair or modification; or inadequate packing or shipping procedures. This Limited Warranty also does not cover cosmetic damage or normal wear and tear.
This Limited Warranty does not apply to NOOKs sold as used, refurbished or reconditioned,
except to the extent that such NOOK is a certified pre-owned NOOK that was purchased
directly from B&N or from a B&N authorized reseller of certified pre-owned NOOKs. This
Limited Warranty will be void if the Serial Number on your NOOK has been removed, tampered with or defaced or if your NOOK has been opened or serviced without authorization,
tampered with, altered or modified. Please note that opening the back cover of your NOOK
to change the battery, external SD card or back cover will void this Limited Warranty, except
to the extent that such opening is done through a customer-accessible opening and in accordance with the instructions provided with the NOOK.
This Limited Warranty applies to your NOOK only (i.e., the hardware), and not to the software within your NOOK. Please refer to the NOOK TERMS OF SERVICE for your rights and
remedies with respect to such software.
