4. Connect to a Wi-Fi network.
To register your NOOK and to purchase and download books and periodicals, you need to be connected
to a Wi-Fi network. If you’re in a Barnes & Noble store, your NOOK will automatically open a dialog box,
oering you the option of connecting to the store’s Wi-Fi network. If you’re in some other location with
Wi-Fi access, your NOOK will list all the networks it finds. Tap on the name of the network you want to
connect to. If you see a lock symbol beside the network’s name, it’s a secure network. You’ll need to enter
a password to connect to the network. If you do not know the network password, ask for the network
administrator for help. If you have problems connecting, visit http://NOOK.com/wifi for more trouble-
shooting tips.
