Customising your Kindle settings

To go to the Settings page, tap the Menu button from the Home screen and select
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: Use this option to connect to a Wi-Fi network, display a list of available
networks and view 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, manage the screen
light, personalise the device name, add personal info, set device time, control recommended
content display, view your Send-to-Kindle email address, select a language for your device,
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 while 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 www.amazon.com/myk 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 options will be disabled.
Screen Light: Lets you manage the Nightlight setting.
Nightlight: Enable this setting to gradually reduce the screen brightness over time as your
eyes adjust while reading or using your Kindle in the dark. To use this feature, Auto
Brightness must also be turned on. Tap the screen light button on the toolbar to access the
Auto Brightness setting.
