Caring for Your NOOKcolor
To take the best possible care of your NOOKcolor, please follow the recommendations below.
Temperature Ranges
Your NOOKcolor should function as designed in these temperature ranges:
Outside of these ranges, your NOOKcolor 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.
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 NOOKcolor 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 NOOKcolor from time to time. Clean the screen with a damp soft cloth,
such as a micro-fiber cloth. Micro-fibre cloths are available from Barnes & Noble stores and from partner retailers.
Do not use any chemicals to clean the screen.
B&N and Designer Covers
You can purchase an optional B&N or designer cover for your NOOKcolor at your local Barnes & Noble Bookstore,
at partner retailers, and online at BN.com. The cover helps protect your NOOKcolor from daily wear and tear. It
keeps dust from accumulating on the screen, reducing the need to clean it. The cover also provides some protection
against spills.
Warranty Coverage and the B&N Protection Plan
Your NOOKcolor is backed by a one-year manufacturer’s warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. For
a copy of this warranty, see “One Year Limited Warranty”. The warranty is also available at:
www.nookcolor.com/warranty
You can extend your NOOKcolor’s coverage by purchasing a two-year B&N Protection Plan to help safeguard
NOOKcolor against spills, drops, and other accidents. The B&N Protection Plan can only be purchased together with
a NOOKcolor, not later.
Information about the B&N Protection Plan can be found on the seb page listed above.
Locking and Unlocking Your NOOKcolor
When your NOOKcolor has been idle, your NOOKcolor darken its screen to conserve power. It also locks the
screen so that accidental touches do not perform actions. To wake up your NOOKcolor, press the Home button.
