Kindle Voyage User’s Guide

Chapter 1

Getting Started

Your Kindle is connected to Whispernet using a 3G mobile network. Alternatively, you may

see an icon for an EDGE or GPRS network next to the signal-strength bars (applies only to

Kindle 3G).

Your Kindle is in Aeroplane Mode and you have no wireless connectivity.

Battery status indicator

The Kindle battery indicator shows the various states of the battery as it discharges. When

your Kindle is charging, a lightning bolt appears on the battery icon. Note that a weak

wireless signal can increase power consumption.

Activity indicator

This indicator appears in the top left corner of your Kindle screen when it is scanning or

connecting to a network, busy downloading new content, syncing and checking for new

items, searching for an item, opening a large PDF file or loading a web page.

Parental Controls indicator

This indicator appears when Parental Controls are enabled, either because you have turned

on specific restrictions or because a Kindle FreeTime profile is active. For more information,

see Parental Controls.

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 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 content are delivered directly to your Kindle via its built-in

network connectivity. If your Kindle offers both Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity, use Wi-Fi

whenever possible for faster downloads. You can connect to a Wi-Fi network at home or at

hotspots around the world.
