out of the box, itʼs recommended to charge your eReader for up to 3 hours before using it.




	
  
To charge your eReader:
       1. Turn on your computer.	
  
       2. Connect your eReader to your computer using the USB cable.
              When youʼre finished charging, simply unplug the USB cable from your eReader.	
  

              	
  




       	
                                                                                            6


Using the light
You can read in areas with low light or even in the dark using the front light. The front light can be
used for hours without affecting your eReaderʼs battery life.




To turn the front light on and off:

    •      Press the     front light button




    	
                                                                                                   7

To turn pages in a book:
    •      Tap or swipe the sides of the page.
If you want to jump forward by more than a page or two, you can:
    •      Use the navigation bar to change pages or chapters.
    •      Use the Table of Contents to browse a list of chapters and change chapters.



Connecting to the Kobo Store or syncing your Library over Wi Fi
Your eReader lets you use Wi Fi (wireless internet) so that you can shop for books, sync your
library, and more. All you need is a wireless network in your area. 	
  


To connect to a wireless network:


    1.     Tap the Home icon at the top of the screen.
    2.     Tap Sync.
           Your eReader will look for Wi Fi networks that are in range.
    3.     Tap the name of the Wi Fi network that youʼd like to connect to.
    4.     If required, enter the Wi Fi password.
    5.     Tap Join.


After youʼve connected to a Wi Fi connection, youʼll see a Wi Fi symbol at the top right corner of the
screen. This means that youʼre connected to Wi Fi. This icon will disappear when your eReader is
trying to conserve battery. When you connect to the Kobo Store or sync your books, your eReader
will automatically connect to Wi Fi.




    	
                                                                                               8


Adding books using a Micro SD card

You can increase the number of books your eReader can hold by adding a microSD card with
books already stored on it. Books must be in EPUB or PDF format. It does not matter how they are
organized on the card — your eReader will scan the entire card for books and list any that it finds in
your library. The eReader will ignore any files that it cannot read.


Notes:
           •     You canʼt add DRM-protected books using a micro SD card.
           •     Your eReader does not copy books from the card, it merely reads the books that are
                 stored on it. This means that you need to leave your card inserted while you read any
                 books on it.


To add books on a micro SD card:
    1.         Put your EPUB or PDF files on a micro SD card.
    2.         Turn off your eReader.
    3.         Insert the card into the the card slot at the side of the eReader and push gently until it
               slides in.
    4.         Turn on your eReader.


Your eReader will scan the card for books and documents, and update your library. This may take
a few moments.




Adding books using your computer
You can connect your eReader to your computer and then drag and drop books to add them to your
eReader library.


To do this you need:
    •          A Windows or Mac computer
    •          A USB cable provided with your eReader
    •          The books you want to add to your eReader in EPUB or PDF format


To add books using a Mac computer:
    1.         Connect your eReader to your computer using the provided USB cable.
    2.         Tap Connect on your eReader screen.
    3.         On your computerʼs desktop, double-click KOBOeReader.
    4.         Open a Finder window, and go to where you stored the EPUB or PDF files you want to
               transfer to your eReader.
    5.         Drag and drop the files into the eReader window.

Other Safety Information

1. The RF signals generated by your device can cause interference with or malfunction to
medical devices such as pacemakers or hearing aids, including the potential for serious
injury. If you have any concerns about using your Kobo device in proximity to any medical
devices, please consult the manufacturer of the medical device in question.

2. Certain locations, such as health care facilities or construction sites, may be put at risk
when radio frequency (RF) signals are generated, including through use of the wireless
functionality on your device. If you see signs and other material requesting that two-way
radios or cellular phones should be turned off, please turn off the wireless connection of
your device in these areas.

3. This Kobo device has been tested to comply with specific absorption rate (SAR) limits.
The maximum allowable level for the European Union is 2.0 W/kg and operation of this
device is below that value.

4. Do not open or attempt to repair your device, including repair or replacement of the
lithium ion battery in this device; contact Kobo Support for any repair and/or battery-
related safety concerns.

5. It is recommended to only use Kobo adapters or chargers that are specifically
designed or approved for your Kobo device. Do not use your adapter if the cord or plug
