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 microber 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 ight 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-ber cloth. Micro-ber cloths are available from Barnes &

Noble stores and from partner retailers. Do not use any chemicals to clean the screen.

content independently to access it.

For example, if the Primary Prole owns a particular NOOK Book and grants another prole

access to it, the book may appear in the other prole’s Library with a download icon, indicating

that the book is available for download. To read the book, the other prole simply has to tap

its cover to download it to the prole’s storage area on your NOOK.

Annotations, such as notes and highlights, are specic to a prole. If one prole makes notes

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

Similarly, if two proles own the same book, their reading positions in the book are tracked in-

dependently. If one prole reads to page XXX and the other prole reads to page XXX, each

prole will be taken to his or her most recently read page when the book is reopened. The

rst prole will be returned to page XXX; the second prole to page XXX.

is formatted.

How to change/format from Portable Storage (Default) to Internal Storage:

One Year Limited Warranty

THE FOLLOWING WARRANTY TERMS WERE IN EFFECT AS OF THE DATE YOUR

DEVICE WAS MANUFACTURED, AND ARE PROVIDED FOR YOUR REFERENCE ONLY.

THE ACTUAL TERMS OF YOUR WARRANTY ARE THE TERMS THAT WERE IN EFFECT

AS OF THE DATE OF YOUR PURCHASE, WHICH MAY BE DIFFERENT THAN THE TERMS

SET FORTH HEREIN. TO FIND THE EXACT TERMS OF YOUR WARRANTY, PLEASE GO

TO NOOK.com/support AND REVIEW THE TERMS APPLICABLE AS OF THE DATE OF

YOUR PURCHASE.

ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

This Limited Warranty provides for specic 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

someone else as a gift for you, as shown by a gift receipt, you will be considered the “original

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 Warran-

ty Period. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on the duration of an implied warranty,

so this limitation may not apply to you. You may not assign or otherwise transfer such implied

warranties. However, some jurisdictions extend the protection of implied warranties to subse-

quent consumers, so this limitation may not apply to you.

the like relating to your failure to comply with such terms or B&N’s instructions.

TIES REGARDING ITS WARRANTY SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL

DUTIES (IF ANY) OF WORK- MANLIKE EFFORT AND OF REASONABLE CARE.

IF I MAKE A WARRANTY CLAIM, WHAT WILL B&N DO WHEN IT RECEIVES MY NOOK?

RANTY OR FOR ANY OTHER CLAIMS OTHERWISE RELATING TO THIS LIMITED WAR-

RANTY.

WHAT WILL BE THE WARRANTY PERIOD IF MY NOOK IS REPLACED?

ranty for the remainder of the original Warranty Period or ninety (90) days from the date of

shipment of the replaced NOOK, whichever is longer.

WHAT IF MY NOOK IS NOT COVERED BY THIS LIMITED WARRANTY?

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,

except to the extent that such NOOK is a certied pre-owned NOOK that was purchased

directly from B&N or from a B&N authorized reseller of certied pre-owned NOOKs. This

Limited Warranty will be void if the Serial Number on your NOOK has been removed, tam-

pered with or defaced or if your NOOK has been opened or serviced without authorization,

tampered with, altered or modied. 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 accor-

dance with the instructions provided with the NOOK.

This Limited Warranty applies to your NOOK only (i.e., the hardware), and not to the soft-

ware within your NOOK. Please refer to the NOOK TERMS OF SERVICE for your rights and

remedies with respect to such software.
