Charging Your NOOK
There are two ways to charge your NOOK. You can plug it into your personal computer or you can use a power
adapter and plug it into a wall socket. (If your NOOK does not include a power adapter in the box, you can purchase
one from your NOOK retailer or online at NOOK.co.uk). The diagram below shows the components available for
charging your NOOK.
CAUTION: If you are using a power adapter, use only a NOOK power adapter and custom microUSB cable
supplied with your NOOK. Other power adapters might damage your NOOK and its battery.
Do not use a power adapter and cable intended for other models of NOOK eReader. Use only
a NOOK Simple Touch Reader power adapter and cable.
To charge your NOOK from your personal computer, do this:
1. Insert the large end of the USB cable into a USB port on your personal computer.
2. Plug the NOOK end of the USB cable into your NOOK. If your NOOK was turned off, it will now turn itself on.
NOTE: Depending on how much power remains in the battery, it might take up to 4 hours to fully recharge
your NOOK through a USB port. Do not turn off your NOOK while it is charging.
NOTE: Once your NOOK has enough power to turn on, you can see how much power remains in the battery
by checking the battery charge indicator in the right-hand corner of the Status bar.
NOTE: Some personal computers must be turned on in order to charge other devices through USB ports.
When these computers are asleep or turned off, their USB ports are inactive, and no charging takes
place. If you have connected your NOOK to your personal computer and the NOOK does not seem
to be charging, check your computer's documentation to determine what the requirements are for
charging devices through USB ports.
3. Once your NOOK has fully charged, unplug the USB cable from your NOOK.
