Adjusting the Screen Timeout
When your NOOK has been setting for some amount of time and no activity has taken place (e.g., you haven’t
tapped the screen or pressed any buttons), your NOOK turns o its screen to conserve power. When that happens,
you can turn on your NOOK again simply by pressing the Quick Nav button.
By default, your NOOK waits 2 minutes before turning o the screen.
To adjust the screen timeout for your NOOK, do this:
1. On the Setting screen, tap Screen.
2. On the Screen Settings page, tap the menu choice Screen timeout.
A dialog box appears with four menu choices:
• 2 minutes
• 5 minutes
• 15 minutes
• 1 hour
3. Tap on the menu choice listing the amount of time you want your NOOK to wait.
The dialog box closes. Your change takes eect right away.
Selecting a Screen Saver
The Screen Saver is the image your NOOK displays after it has been idle for the amount of time you configured as
the screen timeout (see above).
Your NOOK includes a variety of screen savers to choose from, including the cover of the book you’re currently
reading, images from nature, and so on.
You can also sideload (transfer) images from your personal computer to your NOOK. Images that you have trans-
ferred over will appear in the list of selectable screen savers.
