How to Wake Up the Nook

Make sure to keep your NOOK's battery charged so you don't run out of juice when you want to read.

The NOOK is an eBook reader released by Barnes and Noble. The device features an impressive battery that can run as long as 10 days between charges if used sparingly. In order to preserve battery life, your NOOK will go to sleep if it isn't touched for an extended period. The device will display a wallpaper image on the E Ink screen and shut down the small LCD. In order to use your NOOK again, you'll need to wake it back up. The small button on the top of the device will help you with this.

Instructions

1. Locate the Power button on the top of your NOOK. The button is silver and is centered on the top of the device.

2. Press the button in until you hear a click.

3. Release the button and wait for a few seconds while the device wakes itself up. The wallpaper image will dissolve into the last page you were viewing when the device went to sleep.

Tips & Warnings

• Press the Power button when the device is on to put it to sleep.

• Hold the power button for about seven seconds to shut down your NOOK.

• Enable Airplane Mode from the Settings menu on your NOOK to shut down the Wi-Fi or 3G service. This will extend your battery life greatly.
