Status indicators

At the top of the Home screen, you'll see indicators that inform you about the status of
your Kindle Touch. To view these indicators within a book or document, tap the top of the
screen to display the toolbars.

Wireless status indicators

The Amazon Whispernet service delivers content wirelessly to your Kindle whenever and
wherever you want it. Your Kindle can connect to Whispernet via its built-in Wi-Fi
capability; some models also include free 3G wireless connectivity to Whispernet. The
more bars on the Wi-Fi or 3G status indicator that are filled, the stronger the signal.
Your Kindle is connected to Whispernet using Wi-Fi.
Your Kindle is connected to Whispernet using a 3G mobile network. Alternatively, you may
see an icon for an EDGE or GPRS network next to the signal-strength bars (applies only
to Kindle 3G).

Battery status indicator

The Kindle battery indicator shows the various states of the battery as it discharges. Note
that a weak wireless signal can increase power consumption.

Activity indicator

This indicator appears in the top left corner of your Kindle screen when it is scanning or
connecting to a network, busy downloading new content, syncing and checking for new
items, searching for an item, opening a large PDF file or loading a web page.

Parental Controls indicator

This indicator appears when Parental Controls are enabled for your Kindle. Parental
Controls let you restrict access to the Experimental Web Browser, Kindle Store and
content stored in the Cloud. Parents may use this feature to prevent children from
purchasing content without their permission or from browsing any inappropriate online
content.
