Power button: To turn on your Kindle, press the Power button. If you need to turn off your
Kindle completely, such as when travelling on an aeroplane, press and hold the Power
button for seven seconds until the screen goes blank, then release the button.
Your Kindle will go into sleep mode automatically after a few minutes of inactivity and a
screensaver will appear on the display. This static screensaver uses no battery power. To
put your Kindle in sleep mode, press and release the Power button. To wake up your
Kindle, press the Power button.
If your Kindle does not power on or is unresponsive during use, you can restart it by
pressing and holding the Power button for 20 seconds.
Micro-USB/power port: You can use the supplied USB cable to connect your Kindle to a
computer for charging the battery and transferring files. To charge your Kindle from a
power outlet, you will need an AC adaptor (sold separately) for the USB cable.
When the device is charging, a lightning bolt appears on the battery icon at the top of the
Home screen. The indicator light on the bottom edge will turn amber whilst the battery is
charging and green when it is fully charged. Charging should take less than four hours
using a Kindle AC adaptor. Charging using 3rd party adaptors or via USB should take less
than four hours, but may take longer depending on the capability of the hardware.
You can still use your Kindle whilst it is connected to your computer and charging via
USB. To do so, dismount or eject it so that your Kindle exits USB drive mode.

Windows: Right-click on the "Safely remove hardware" icon in the lower right-hand corner
of the task bar and follow the onscreen instructions to remove your Kindle.

Mac OS X: Click the Eject button next to the Kindle in any Finder window, or drag it from
the Desktop to the Trash.
Your Kindle will then exit USB drive mode, but will continue to charge. If the charge
indicator light on the bottom edge of the device does not come on, make sure that the
USB cable is fully inserted into your Kindle and into the USB port of the computer. If your
Kindle is still not charging, try another USB port or electrical outlet.
Note that if your Kindle is plugged into a low-powered USB port—such as those found on
some keyboards and older computers—it will not receive enough power to charge.
Speakers: The lower back of your Kindle contains stereo speakers for audio content.
Plugging in headphones turns off the built-in speakers.
