NOOK Button
This NOOK symbol on the lower front of your NOOK is called the NOOK button. Once your NOOK is turned
on and the screensaver has been unlocked, pressing the NOOK button displays the Home Screen. On the bottom of
the Home Screen you’ll find Nav Buttons for navigating to important features such as Library and Shop.
30-pin Port
Your NOOK features a 30-pin port for charging and for connecting to a personal computer.
microSD Memory Card Slot
Your NOOK features enough built-in memory to hold thousands of books, along with many magazines, newspapers,
photos, apps, videos, and personal files such as PDFs.
You can add more storage to your NOOK by installing a standard microSD memory card. The card fits into a cov-
ered slot in the back of your NOOK, next to the curved bar in the corner. A microSD memory card can hold up to
64 GB of content. Once you have installed a microSD card in your NOOK, you can access the files stored on the
card through the My Files section of your Library.
To learn about installing a microSD memory card in your NOOK, see “Using an SD Memory Card”.
Bluetooth®
Your NOOK supports the A2DP, AVCRP, and HID profiles of the Bluetooth 2.0 standard for connectivity, enabling
your NOOK to connect to Bluetooth devices such as headphones, speakers, and keyboards. These wireless devices
are sold separately. See your NOOK retailer for a list a supported Bluetooth devices.
NOTE: Your NOOK can connect to certain Bluetooth headsets, but it does not interpret commands, such as
play or pause, from these headsets.

Power and Charging
Turning Your NOOK On and O
NOTE: If you have already registered your NOOK and created a profile, you will need to drag your profile’s
icon to the lock symbol on the screen to unlock your NOOK after you turn it on. If you have set up a
passcode to protect your NOOK, you will have to enter the passcode after you unlock your profile. See
“Using a Device Passcode to Protect Your NOOK”.
Turning On Your NOOK
To turn on your NOOK, press the power button located on the left-hand edge of your NOOK. Hold the button
down for 2 seconds and release it.
Your NOOK starts. When it has completed its start-up process, it makes a chiming sound.
Turning O Your NOOK
You do not need to turn your NOOK o when you stop using it. With a fully charged battery and with Wi-Fi turned
on, your NOOK has enough power to last in a suspended “sleeping” state for many days. With a fully charged bat-
tery and with Wi-Fi turned o, your NOOK has enough power to last in a suspended state for several weeks.
On the other hand, if you are carrying your NOOK without a cover in a bag or purse, you might want to turn o
your NOOK to avoid it being accidentally turned on from its “sleeping” state. You also might want to turn o your
NOOK simply to conserve power.
To turn o your NOOK, do this:
1. Press the power button and hold it down for 5 seconds.
A window appears, asking if you really want to turn your NOOK completely o.
2. Tap the Power o button in the dialogue box.
Your NOOK turns o.
NOTE: If you ignore the window asking you to confirm that you want to power o your NOOK, after several
seconds the window disappears and your NOOK resumes whatever it was doing before you pressed
the power button.

NOOK HD+ User Guide 15
Wall Charging
To charge your NOOK, use the charging components included with your NOOK.
CAUTION: Only use the Barnes & Noble power adapter and custom 30-pin USB 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.
NOTE: Using your NOOK’s 30-pin USB cable, you can connect your NOOK to your personal computer
to transfer files. However, connecting your NOOK to your personal computer may not fully charge
your NOOK. To charge your NOOK, you must plug it into a wall outlet.
To charge your NOOK from a wall outlet, do this:
1. Assemble the power adapter and 30-pin USB cable. Insert the USB end of the cable into the matching receptacle
on the power adapter.
2. Plug the 30-pin end of the USB cable into your NOOK.
3. Plug the power adapter into a compatible electrical outlet. If your NOOK was turned o, it will now turn itself
on.
NOTE: Depending on how much power remains in the battery, it might take 3-4 hours to fully recharge your
NOOK. Do not turn o your NOOK while it is charging.
NOTE: If the Charging Indicator Light is blinking, your NOOK is too hot to charge. Move your NOOK to a
cooler environment.
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. You may need to
drag your account icon to the lock symbol on the screen to unlock your NOOK and display the Status
Bar, which runs along the top of the screen.
4. Once your NOOK has fully charged, unplug the power adapter from the electrical outlet. Unplug the USB cable
from your NOOK.

Resetting Your NOOK
Performing a Soft Reset
If for some reason your NOOK becomes unresponsive, you can perform a soft reset to restart the device.
1. Press and hold the power button for 20 seconds, then release the power button.
2. Press the power button again for 2 seconds to turn on your NOOK.
Low Power
If you turn on your NOOK when its battery charge is almost depleted, a warning appears on the screen, suggesting
that you begin charging your NOOK before trying to use it.
If the battery is depleted, your NOOK will shut down until it has been suciently recharged.
Charging Recommendations
Your NOOK contains a lithium ion battery. To maximise battery life:
• Avoid fully discharging the battery. Charge your NOOK after several hours of use or when you see the low
charge alert, rather than continuing to use it until it turns itself o.
• Avoid high temperatures for charging, use, and storage. For more information, see “Temperature Ranges.”
• If you are not going to use your NOOK for more than 30 days, charge the battery to 40%-50% and then turn o
your NOOK.
Safety and Care
This section explains important information about safety and about caring for your NOOK.
Water
CAUTION: Your NOOK, cables, and adapters are not waterproof. To avoid risk of overheating, melting, and burns,
keep the device and all accessories away from water and other liquids.
Do not use the cable if either end of the cable gets wet or is exposed to liquid spray. Allow the
end(s) of the cable to dry thoroughly before trying to use the cable. Do not expose your NOOK
to wet or damp conditions. Avoid exposing the device to liquid or food. If liquid is spilled on the
device, make sure to unplug the charging cable and allow the device to dry thoroughly before
reusing. Do NOT attempt to dry out your NOOK with an external heat source such as a dryer or
microwave oven. Clean the screen of your NOOK with a soft cloth and avoid using liquid cleaners
on the screen.
Electricity
Your NOOK is an electrical device. Follow the same basic safety procedures you would follow with any electrical
device.
When charging your NOOK, use only the custom USB cable and power adapter included with your NOOK.

NOOK HD+ User Guide 17
Aeroplanes
When using your NOOK on an aeroplane, be sure to follow the instructions of the flight crew.
To turn your NOOK’s wireless networking on or o, do this:
1. Tap the gear icon in the Status Bar to open the Quick Settings window.
2. Slide the Wi-Fi switch on or o. Or slide the Aeroplane Mode switch to on.
Aeroplane Mode turns o wireless networking but allows other features on your NOOK to work as usual.
3. Tap anywhere outside the Quick Settings window to close it.
Electronic Equipment
If you are around sensitive electronic equipment–for example, if you are in a hospital–ask if you may use your
NOOK. You probably can if you turn o Wi-Fi networking. Settings such as intensive care units might forbid the use
of any electronic device, with or without networking.
Battery
Your NOOK includes a non-replaceable lithium ion battery. Do not attempt to replace the battery. If you suspect
your battery is having problems, please contact Customer Service.
Caution About High Audio Volume
WARNING: Exposure to loud noise from any source for extended periods of time may aect your hearing. The
louder the volume, the faster your hearing may be aected. To protect your hearing:
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high volume.
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
• Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you. If you experience hearing
discomfort, including the sensation of pressure or fullness in your ears, ringing in your ears, or
mued speech, you should stop listening to the device through your headset or headphones
and have your hearing checked.
Caring for Your NOOK
To take the best possible care of your NOOK, please follow the recommendations below.
Temperature Ranges
Your NOOK should function as designed in these temperature ranges:
Use Fahrenheit Celsius
Charging 41-95 F 5-35 C
Operation 32-95 F 0-35 C
Storage 5-113 F -13-45 C
Outside of these ranges, your NOOK might develop power, display, and/or software issues. If temperatures are
extremely cold or hot, permanent physical damage can result. Such damage is not covered by the warranty. Storage
applies to temporary locations like the trunk of your car (or other motor vehicle) as well as long-term storage.

18 NOOK HD+ User Guide
Even on a day that is not very hot, the passenger compartment or trunk of a car can be extremely hot. Do not leave
your NOOK in a car.
High storage temperatures reduce battery life. For more information, see “Charging Recommendations”.
Caring for the Touchscreen
You should clean the touchscreen on your NOOK from time to time. Clean the screen with a damp soft cloth, such
as a micro-fibre cloth. Micro-fibre cloths are available from Barnes & Noble stores and from partner retailers. Do not
use any chemicals to clean the screen.

NOOK HD+ User Guide 19
Gestures
Your NOOK recognises these dierent gestures:
• Tap
• Double tap
• Press and hold
• Swipe
• Scroll
• Drag
• Pinch and Zoom
Tap
A tap on the screen is a quick touch of your fingertip. It’s the same gesture you use when you tap a key on a com-
puter keyboard.
Tapping on a button.
Double Tap
Some features require a double tap: two taps in quick succession. For example, by double-tapping on an item in the
NOOK Shop, you can open a window displaying information about the item.
Press and Hold
Pressing and holding means touching your finger to the screen and holding it there for 2 seconds.
In many situations, pressing and holding causes your NOOK to open a pop-up menu. The pop-up menu—sometimes
called a contextual menu—oers you choices about the image your finger is resting on.
For example, if you press and hold on a book cover, your NOOK opens a menu oering you choices of things you
can do with that book: open the book, recommend it, lend it, and so on.

20 NOOK HD+ User Guide
Swipe
To swipe is to slide your finger across the screen as though you were brushing away a crumb. You can swipe left, flick-
ing your finger to the left. Or you can swipe right, flicking your finger to the right.
You’ll typically swipe to scroll through a long list or collection things, such as the row of books and other items on the
Active Shelf.
Swiping left or right.
Scroll
Slide your finger up or down the screen to scroll through any list displaying a scrollbar. A scroll gesture is like a vertical
swipe.
Scrolling up or down.
