Power and Charging
22
On
(including when the touchscreen backlight is off ): If the touchscreen backlight is off, it is
turned on. Your
NOOK
charges and enters USB drive mode.
When charging, the charging indicator light to the left of the USB port lights up yellow. You can
use your
NOOK
for reading while it is charging by ejecting/unmounting the
NOOK
drive, and a
supplemental drive if present. For more information, see “USB Connectivity” on page 148.

NOOK
is fully charged, the charging indicator light goes out.

If you have not already ejected/unmounted the
NOOK
drive from your computer, and a
supplemental drive if present, do so now.
6
Unplug both ends of the USB cable.
Charging Recommendations
Your
NOOK
contains a lithium polymer battery. To maximize battery life:
•
Partially discharge the battery rather than fully discharging it
. For example, charge
your
NOOK
when you see the low charge alert, rather than continuing to use it until it turns
itself off.
•
Avoid high temperatures
if possible for charging, use, and storage. For more information,
see “Temperature Ranges” on page 40.
•
Charge the battery half way before storing your
NOOK
for a week or more.
•
Turn your
NOOK
off for storage
. If you are going to store your
NOOK
for more than a
week, turn it off.
Hard Reset
A hard reset is a more aggressive way of turning off your
NOOK
. It is not resetting your
NOOK
to factory settings, which is explained in “Resetting to Factory Settings” on page 173.
A hard reset turns your
NOOK
off. It also clears some state information. No content or metadata is
deleted. You should generally not need to perform a hard reset of your
NOOK
.
You might want to perform a hard reset in these circumstances:
•
If your
NOOK
is not charging
•
If your
NOOK
is on but not responsive
•
When asked to do so by Customer Service
