Kindle User’s Guide

Chapter 1

Getting Started

Setting up Your Kindle

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 registered previously, from the Home screen tap the

Menu button and select Settings. On the Settings page, tap Registration and select the

appropriate option to begin the registration process.

Network connectivity

Books, magazines, and other materials are delivered directly to your Kindle via its built-in

Wi-Fi connectivity. You can connect to a Wi-Fi network at home or at hotspots around the

world.

To view available Wi-Fi networks, from the Home screen tap the Menu button, then

Settings. Select Wi-Fi Networks and the name of the network you want to use. If you see a

lock symbol next to the network name, it requires a password. Tap the Rescan button to

recheck for available Wi-Fi networks. Please note that your Kindle does not support

connecting to ad hoc (or peer-to-peer) Wi-Fi networks.

Your Kindle will recognise Wi-Fi networks with a WPS-compatible router. To connect via

WPS, from your Kindle select the wireless network you want to use. Next, press the WPS

button on your router, then select the WPS button on your Kindle during the Wi-Fi setup

process. Once you have connected to a network successfully, the Wi-Fi status indicator will

display the network's signal strength.

To turn wireless off, from the Home screen tap the Menu button, select Settings and enable

Aeroplane Mode. Turning on Aeroplane Mode disables the Wi-Fi connection. Any

periodical downloads or other pending updates that require a wireless connection will occur

the next time you turn it back on.

Special Offers and Sponsored Screen Savers

For Kindle with Special Offers devices, you will receive Special Offers and Sponsored Screen

Savers that display only on the Home screen or screen saver — not within a book. Note that

Special Offers and Sponsored Screen Savers are not available in all countries.

Screen Saver

When your device is sleeping, a Special Offer will be displayed on your screen saver. To see

more details on the offer, wake up your Kindle, then tap the "Tap for Details" area. To
