Kindle controls
You need to learn only a few simple controls to use the Kindle Paperwhite.
Power button: To turn your Kindle on, press the Power button. If you need to turn off your Kindle
completely, such as when traveling on an airplane, press and hold the Power button for seven seconds
until the screen goes blank, then release the button.
Your Kindle will automatically go into sleep mode after a few minutes of inactivity and a screensaver
appears on the display. This static screensaver uses no battery power. To put your Kindle in sleep mode,
press and release the Power button. To wake up your Kindle, press the Power button.
If the Kindle does not power on or is unresponsive during use, you can restart it by pressing and holding
the Power button for 20 seconds.
Micro-USB/power port:. To charge the Kindle use the AC adapter with the USB cable.
When the device is charging, a lightning bolt appears on the battery icon at the top of the Home screen.
The indicator light on the bottom edge will turn amber while the battery is charging and green when it is
fully charged. Charging should take less than four hours using a Kindle AC adapter.
