Kindle Voyage User's Guide

Chapter 1
Getting Started
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).
Your Kindle is in Aeroplane Mode and you have no wireless connectivity.
Battery status indicator
The Kindle battery indicator shows the various states of the battery as it discharges. When
your Kindle is charging, a lightning bolt appears on the battery icon. 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, either because you have turned
on specific restrictions or because a Kindle FreeTime profile is active. For more information,
see
Parental
Controls.
Setting up your Kindle Voyage
If you're reading this guide, you've probably completed the Kindle setup process, which
includes selecting your device language, connecting to a wireless network, registering your
Kindle with your Amazon account, and optionally linking your Kindle to your social
network accounts. If you haven't done these steps yet, go to the Home screen now, select
Set Up Your Kindle, and follow the onscreen prompts. If you have difficulty connecting to
your wireless network, please contact your Network Administrator or the individual
responsible for maintaining the network you are trying to access. Once you have completed
the setup process, Set Up Your Kindle will no longer appear on your Home screen.
To register a Kindle that has been registered previously, from the Home screen tap the
Menu button and select Settings. On the Settings page, tap Registration and select the
appropriate option to begin the registration process.
Network connectivity
Books, magazines and other content are delivered directly to your Kindle via its built-in
network connectivity. If your Kindle offers both Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity, use Wi-Fi
whenever possible for faster downloads. You can connect to a Wi-Fi network at home or at
hotspots around the world.
