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:
Aeroplane Mode: Allows you to enable or disable wireless connectivity.
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.
Registration: Indicates the Amazon account name to which your Kindle is registered. Use
this option to register and deregister your Kindle.
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: Choose between Kindle FreeTime and Restrictions. Use
Kindle FreeTime to create personalised profiles for your child, select books from
your library to share, and set daily reading goals whilst automatically blocking
access to places you may not want your child to go, such as the Kindle Store,
Goodreads on Kindle or the Experimental Web Browser. Use Restrictions to
manually block the Experimental Web Browser, Kindle Store, Cloud, and/or
Goodreads on Kindle. When you set up Kindle FreeTime or turn on a restriction
for the first time, you will be prompted to create a password. Note that this
password will be required to make changes to settings within Parental Controls.
To change the password, select Change Password from the Parental Controls
screen. If you forget your password, reset it by visiting the Manage Your Kindle
page on the Amazon website and deregistering your device, or by contacting
Amazon Customer Service. When Restrictions are enabled or a FreeTime profile
is active, you will see a lock icon at the top of the screen next to the Wi-Fi/3G
status indicator, and the 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 your Kindle keep the current time updated by choosing Set
Automatically. To view the time from within a book, tap the top of the screen.
