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 previously registered, tap the Menu button and select
Settings. On the Settings page, select Registration and Household, then Register/Deregister
Device. If you have enabled Sign-in Approval, you will need to enter your passcode followed
by the security code sent to your phone when you register the device.
