Customising your Kindle settings

To go to the Settings page, tap the Menu button
Settings. Your Kindle must be registered to view all settings. The available settings are:
Registration: Indicates the Amazon account name to which your Kindle is registered. Use
this option to register and deregister the device.
Wi-Fi Networks: Displays the number of detected Wi-Fi networks and the name of the Wi-
Fi network you are currently connected to, if any.
Device Options: Lets you set a passcode, enable Parental Controls, set the time, select a
language for your device, personalise the device name, add personal info, view your
Send-to-Kindle e-mail address, add keyboards for different languages, and select
dictionaries.
Device Passcode: Allows you to restrict access to your Kindle by setting a
passcode. You'll subsequently be prompted to enter the passcode whenever you
turn on the device or wake it from sleep. If you don't remember your passcode,
you must contact Kindle Customer Service.
Parental Controls: Lets you restrict access to the Experimental Web Browser,
Kindle Store, and the Cloud. Parents may use this feature to prevent children
from purchasing content, downloading content from the Cloud, or using the web
browser without their permission. You will be prompted to enter a password when
you set up restrictions for one of these areas. Note that this password will be
required to make changes to settings within Parental Controls. If you forget your
password, you must contact Kindle Customer Service to reset the password.
When Parental Controls are enabled you will see a lock icon at the top of the
screen next to the Wi-Fi/mobile status indicator, and Deregistration and Reset
Device settings will be disabled.
Device Time: Lets you set the current local time to be displayed on your Kindle.
The time displays at the top of the screen. On Kindle models that include 3G, you
can have Kindle keep the current time updated by choosing Set Automatically.
To view the time from within a book, tap the top of the screen.
Personalise your Kindle: Lets you manage your device name, add personal
and contact information, and view your Send-to-Kindle E-mail address.
Device Name: Allows you to change the name displayed at the top of
the Home screen.

such as an address or phone number, to help identify your Kindle in the
event of its being lost.
