Turning Your NOOK Color On and Off
NOTE: If you have set up a passcode to protect your NOOK Color, you will have to enter the passcode after
you turn on your NOOK Color.
Turning On Your NOOK Color
To turn on your NOOK Color, press the power button located on the left edge of your NOOK Color. Hold the but-
ton down for 2 seconds and release it.
Your NOOK Color starts. When it has completed its start-up process, it makes a chiming sound.
Turning Off Your NOOK Color
You do not need to turn your NOOK Color off when you stop using it. With a fully charged battery and with Wi-Fi
turned on, your NOOK Color has enough power to last in a suspended "sleeping" state for many days. With a fully
charged battery and with Wi-Fi turned off, your NOOK Color has enough power to last in a suspended state for
several weeks.
On the other hand, if you are carrying your NOOK Color without a cover in a bag or purse, you might want to turn
off your NOOK Color to avoid it being accidentally turned on from its "sleeping" state. You also might want to turn
off your NOOK Color simply to conserve power.
To turn off your NOOK Color, do this:
1. Press the power button and hold it down for 5 seconds.
A window appears, asking if you really want to turn your NOOK Color completely off.
2. Tap the Power off button in the dialog box.
Your NOOK Color turns off.
NOTE: If you ignore the window asking you to confirm that you want to power off your NOOK Color, after
several seconds the window disappears and your NOOK Color resumes whatever it was doing before
you pressed the power button.
