Now, let's get started with a quick tour of your NOOK and its main features.

Getting to Know Your NOOK

Your NOOK GlowLight® 3 is an eReader with a touchscreen grayscale E Ink® display and a front light now equipped with Night Mode.

On your NOOK, you can:

• Read books, magazines, and newspapers
- Shop from over four million titles. Buy books, single issues of magazines and newspapers, as well as subscriptions to magazines and newspapers
• Store hundreds of books, along with magazines, newspapers, and personal files
• Sample books for free

- Share quotes and book recommendations with friends via Facebook® and read books borrowed using Barnes & Noble's LendMe® program
• Store and read files, including PDFs

Your NOOK is small enough to hold easily with one hand and to slip into a bag or a purse. When you turn on GlowLight® on your NOOK, you can read your favorite books and periodicals even in the dark.

When the device is on, tap the NOOK Home button at any time to return to your Home screen.

Note: To wake the device, press either the Power button or the Home button. To enable Glowlight*, press and hold the Home button for two seconds.

The front of your NOOK Power Button

The power button for your NOOK is located on the top edge. Press and hold the button for 3 seconds to turn on your NOOK. If your NOOK is sleeping, press the power button to wake up your NOOK and turn it on. To learn more about power management for your NOOK, see "Power and Charging".

Touchscreen E Ink Display

Your NOOK features a high-resolution, 6-inch touchscreen E Ink display for easy navigation and page turns.

NOTE: To ensure the highest quality of reading, your NOOK has an anti-glare film already installed. Please do not install any additional screen protector. To protect your NOOK's screen from accidental damage, we recommend using a NOOK cover.

NOOK Button

This NOOK symbol ∩ on the lower front of your NOOK is called the NOOK button. If your NOOK is sleeping, press the NOOK button to wake up your NOOK and turn it on. If your NOOK is already on, press this button to display the Home screen, which features navigation controls and your recent reads.

If your NOOK is on, you can also press and hold the NOOK button for 2 seconds to turn on or off GlowLight, the light built into the frame of your NOOK. When GlowLight is on, you can read your NOOK's touchscreen E Ink display even in areas with low lighting.

Micro-USB Port

Your NOOK features a micro-USB port for charging and for connecting to a personal computer. The micro-USB port is located on the bottom edge of your NOOK, directly below the NOOK Home button.

Getting Started With Your NOOK

The first time you use your NOOK, you'll need to go through a short set-up process that will take about 5 to 10 minutes. Make sure that you're in an area that has a Wi-Fi® connection (a wireless connection to the Internet), because part of the process is registering your NOOK with your Barnes & Noble account on BN.com.

NOTE: You will not be able to set up your NOOK without a Wi-Fi connection.

In the set-up process, you will do the following:

• Turn on your NOOK by pressing the power button on the left edge of the device.
• Set the time zone.
• Connect to a Wi-Fi network.
  • Accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
  • Register your NOOK to a Barnes & Noble account.

NOTE: If you don't already have a Barnes & Noble account, you'll have an opportunity to create one during the registration step.

Your Barnes & Noble Account

A Barnes & Noble account allows you to purchase and download books, magazines, and newspapers on your NOOK, and from the Barnes & Noble Web site.

The account also allows you to synchronize your NOOK with any other NOOK devices you have, such as other NOOK tablets or eReaders, and with NOOK software apps, such as NOOK ^® for iOS, NOOK ^® for Android ^™ , or NOOK ^® for Web.

If you don't have a Barnes & Noble account, you can set one up in a few minutes on the NOOK website. Just open a browser on your computer, and visit http://MyNOOK.com. You'll also have the opportunity to set up an account during the registration process for your NOOK.

Your Barnes & Noble account is ready for use once you have set up the following:

• An email address
• A default credit card number
• A valid expiration date for the credit card
• A current U.S. billing address

If you have any questions about setting up an account, please visit NOOK.com/support, or call Customer Service at 1-800-THE-BOOK (1-800-843-2665).

Registering Your NOOK

NOTE: You will need to connect to a Wi-Fi network to complete your registration.

I. Read the Welcome screen. Tap the Let's Get Started button. Your NOOK displays its Terms of Service.
2. Select your Time Zone by tapping its button. Tap Next.
3. 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 connect to the store's free Wi-Fi network. If you're in some other location with Wi-Fi access, your NOOK will list all the networks it finds. Tap 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 NOOK.com/support for more troubleshooting tips.

1. Once you have connected to a network, tap Next (if you are in a Barnes & Noble store and connected to its network) or Continue (if you are connected to any other Wi-Fi network.)

Your NOOK displays a message saying it is registering your device. When the registration has completed, your NOOK displays a Sign In screen with an email field, a password field, and a keyboard at the bottom of the screen.

1. Sign in to your BN.com account.

When you register your NOOK, you link it to your Barnes & Noble account and give it access all the books and periodicals in your Barnes & Noble library. You also make it possible to shop for new books and periodicals on your NOOK.

Note that by signing in, you agree to the Device Terms, Store Terms, and Privacy Policy for your NOOK. Links to these terms appear at the bottom of the screen.

If you already have a Barnes & Noble account, do this:

a. On the Sign In screen, enter the email address and password for your Barnes & Noble account.

(As a security precaution, if you enter your password incorrectly five times, you will be locked out of your BN.com account for half an hour. If you like, you can reset your account by visiting BN.com.)

b. Tap the Sign In button below the password field.
c. When a dialog box appears, saying "Registration successful," tap the OK button.

If you do not already have a Barnes & Noble account, do this:

a. Tap the Create Account button.

Your NOOK displays a form for creating a Barnes & Noble account.

b. Enter the information requested, including your name, password, credit card type, number, and expiration date, and a security question.

c. Tap Submit.

Your NOOK creates your Barnes & Noble account and registers your NOOK to your account.

NOTE: If you turned GlowLight on, it now automatically turns off.

1. Tap the Next button.

A new screen tells you that you're ready to get started exploring the features of your NOOK.

1. Tap the NOOK button (without holding it down) to display the Home screen and begin exploring your NOOK.

That's it. You've registered your NOOK. You're ready to read books, magazines, and newspapers, and to make purchases in the NOOK Shop.

Power and Charging

Turning Your NOOK On and Off

To turn on your NOOK, press the power button on the top edge of your NOOK. Hold the button down for 2 seconds and release it.

Your NOOK starts up.

To turn off your NOOK, do this:

I. Press the power button and hold it down for 2 seconds.
A window appears, asking if you really want to turn your NOOK completely off.

Charging Your NOOK

There are two ways to charge your NOOK. You can plug it into your personal computer. Or you can use the op-tional power adapter and plug it into a wall outlet. (The optional power adapter for your NOOK can be purchased from your local Barnes & Noble bookstore or at BN.com.) The diagram below shows the components available for charging your NOOK.

Note: A power adapter is available as an optional accessory for charging your NOOK from a wall outlet.

Power adapter shown is a visual only and may differ from what is currently sold in stores or online. Note: This product is intended to be powered by a UL Listed power supply rated at 5 kHz; 0.85 A. Do not use a power adapter or micro-USB cable that has played or otherwise been damaged. When connecting your NOKO as a personal computer, the computer must be a UL listed approved product.

CAUTION: If you are using a power adapter, use only a Barnes & Noble power adapter and custom micro-USB cable intended for your NOOK. Other power adapters might damage your NOOK and its battery. Do not use a power adapter and cable intended for other models of NOOK products. Use only a power adapter and cable intended for use with your NOOK product. Do not use a power adapter or micro-USB cable that has frayed or otherwise been damaged. When connecting your NOOK to a personal computer, the computer must be a UL listed, approved product.

CAUTION: This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Direct Plug-In Power Unit marked "Class 2" or limited power source (LPS) and rated from 5 V dc, 850mA.

To charge your NOOK from your personal computer, do this:

I. Insert the large end of the USB cable into a USB port on your personal computer.

1. Plug the NOOK end of the USB cable into your NOOK. If your NOOK was turned off, it will now turn itself on.

NOTE: Depending on how much power remains in the battery, it might take approximately 4 hours to fully recharge your NOOK through a USB port. Do not turn off your NOOK while it is charging.

NOTE: Once your NOOK has enough power to turn on, you can see how much power remains in the battery by checking the battery charge indicator in the right corner of the Status Bar.

NOTE: Some personal computers must be turned on in order to charge other devices through USB ports. When these computers are asleep or turned off, their USB ports are inactive, and no charging takes place. If you have connected your NOOK to your personal computer and the NOOK does not seem to be charging, check your computer's documentation to determine what the requirements are for charging devices through USB ports.

1. Once your NOOK has fully charged, unplug the USB cable from your NOOK.

To charge your NOOK from a wall outlet with a power adapter, do this:

I. Assemble the power adapter and micro-USB cable. Insert the large end of the USB cable into the matching slot in the power adapter.
2. Plug the small end of the USB cable into your NOOK.
3. Plug the power adapter into a compatible electrical outlet. If your NOOK was turned off, it will now turn itself on.

NOTE: Depending on how much power remains in the battery, it might take approximately 3 hours to fully re-charge your NOOK through an electrical outlet. Do not turn off your NOOK while it is charging.

NOTE: Once your NOOK has enough power to turn on, you can see how much power remains in the battery by checking the battery charge indicator in the right corner of the Status Bar.

1. Once your NOOK has fully charged, unplug the power adapter from the electrical outlet. Unplug the USB cable from your NOOK.

Resetting Your NOOK

Performing a Soft Reset

If for some reason your NOOK becomes unresponsive, you can perform a soft reset to restart the device.

1. Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds, then release the power button.
2. Press the power button again for 2 seconds to turn on your NOOK.

Low Power

You can see how much power remains in your battery by checking the battery icon in the Status Bar, or by checking the Battery indicator on the Device Info settings screen. (To see the Device Info screen, tap Settings in the NOOK Navigation Menu to open the main Settings screen, and then tap Device Info.) If you turn on your NOOK when its battery charge is almost depleted, a warning appears on the screen, suggesting that you begin charging your NOOK before trying to use it. If the battery is depleted, your NOOK will shut down until it has been sufficiently recharged.

Charging Recommendations

Your NOOK contains a rechargeable battery. To maximize battery life:

• Avoid fully discharging the battery. Charge your NOOK after several hours of use or when you see the low charge alert, rather than continuing to use it until it turns itself off.
• Avoid high temperatures for charging, use, and storage. For more information, see "Temperature Ranges."
• Charge the battery half way before storing your NOOK for a week or more.

Safety and Care

This section explains important information about safety and about caring for your NOOK.

Water

Caution: Your NOOK device, cables, and adapters are not waterproof. To avoid risk of electric shock, overheating, melting, burns or other injury or damage, keep the device and all accessories away from water and other liquids.

Do not use the cable if either end of the cable gets wet or is exposed to liquid spray or excessive moisture. Do not expose your NOOK device, cables, and power adapter to wet or damp conditions. Avoid exposing the device to liquid or food. If liquid is spilled on the device while it's turned on, turn it off immediately. Clean the screen of your NOOK with a soft, lint-free or micro-fiber cloth and avoid using spray or liquid cleaners on screen.

Electricity

Your NOOK is an electrical device. Follow the same basic safety procedures you would follow with any electrical device. When charging your NOOK, use only the custom components included with or sold for your NOOK: either a custom USB cable or a custom USB cable along with a power adapter.

Airplanes

When using your NOOK on an airplane, be sure to follow the instructions of the flight crew.

To turn your NOOK's wireless networking on or off, do this:

I. Tap the right end of the Status Bar to open the Quick Settings dialog box.
2. Tap the Wi-Fi checkbox to turn wireless networking on or off.
3. Tap anywhere outside the Quick Settings dialog box to close it.

Electronic Equipment

If you are around sensitive electronic equipment—for example, if you are in a hospital—ask if you may use your NOOK. Settings such as intensive care units might forbid the use of any electronic device, with or without networking turned on.

Battery

Your NOOK includes a non-replaceable, rechargeable battery. Do not attempt to replace the battery. If you suspect your battery is having problems, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-THE-BOOK (1-800-843-2665).

Caring for Your NOOK

To take the best possible care of your NOOK, please follow the recommendations below.

Temperature Ranges

Your NOOK should function as designed in these temperature ranges:

• Operation: 0 °C to 35° C, 32° F to 95° F
• Storage: -25^ C to 60^ C, -13^ F to 140^ F

Outside of these ranges, your NOOK 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 limited 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 NOOK in a car.

High storage temperatures reduce battery life. For more information, see “Charging Recommendations”.

Caring for the Screen

You should clean the screen on your NOOK from time to time. Clean the screen with a damp soft cloth, such as a microfiber cloth. Micro-fiber 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 NOOK at your local Barnes & Noble Bookstore, at partner retailers, and online at BN.com. The cover helps protect your NOOK 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.

Limited Warranty Coverage and the B&N Protection Plan

Your NOOK is backed by a one-year manufacturer's limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. For a copy of this limited warranty, see "One Year Limited Warranty." The limited warranty is also available at:

NOOK.com/warranty

In the event of any changes to the limited warranty, the version in effect on the Web site as of the date of purchase shall apply.

You can extend your NOOK's coverage by purchasing a two-year B&N Protection Plan to help safeguard NOOK against spills, drops, and other accidents. The B&N Protection Plan can only be purchased together with a NOOK.

Information about the B&N Protection Plan can be found on the Web page listed above.

NOTE: To ensure the highest quality of reading, your NOOK has an anti-glare film already installed. Please don't use any additional screen protector as it will damage the device. To protect your NOOK's screen from accidental damage, we recommend using a NOOK cover. Your limited warranty does not cover damage to your NOOK's screen resulting from use of an additional screen protector.

Unlocking Your NOOK

When your NOOK has been idle, your NOOK goes to "sleep." Your NOOK displays a screensaver on the screen. It also locks the screen so that accidental touches do not perform actions.

To wake up your NOOK, press the power button on the upper left edge of your device. On the screensaver screen slide right to unlock your NOOK.

Using Gestures to Control Your NOOK

Your NOOK puts great reading material right at your fingertips. To read that material, to share it, to rate it, and so on, you'll use your fingers in different ways.

Your NOOK recognizes these different gestures:

• Tap
• Double tap
• Press and hold
• Swipe
• Scroll

Tap

A tap on the screen is a quick touch of your fingertip. It's the same gesture you use when you tap a key on a computer keyboard.

Tapping a book cover

Double Tap

Tapping twice quickly on the screen is a useful short-cut for many features.

In the Library or the Shop, double-tapping the cover of a book or periodical opens a window with details about the item.

Press and Hold

Pressing and holding means touching your finger to the screen and holding it there for 2 seconds.

In many situations, pressing and holding causes your NOOK to open menu at the bottom of the screen. The menu offers you choices about the image your finger is resting on.

For example, if you press and hold on a word in a book, your NOOK opens a menu offering you choices of things you can do with that book: highlight the word, write a note, look the word up in a dictionary, and so on.

Pressing and holding on a word in a book and then lifting your finger opens the Text Selection Toolbar.

Swipe

To swipe is to slide your finger across the screen, usually to the left or right. You can swipe to turn pages in a book you are reading.

Swiping to scroll left and right.

Scroll

Slide your finger up or down the screen to scroll through any list displaying up and down arrows at the bottom of the screen. A scroll gesture is like a vertical swipe.

The NOOK Navigation Buttons

The NOOK Navigation Buttons or Nav Buttons are a row of buttons at the bottom of the Home screen that make it easy to move from one area of your NOOK to another. For example, if you want to move from the Library to the Shop, you can simply tap the NOOK Home button to display the Home screen and tap the Shop button to display the Shop screen.

To open the NOOK Navigation Menu, tap the NOOK button on the front bezel of your NOOK. The Navigation Menu appears on the bottom of the Home screen, as shown below.

Tapping the NOOK Home button displays the Home screen and the NOOK Nav Buttons.

The NOOK Navigation Menu offers these choices for navigation:

• Library
• Shop
  B&N
• Settings
• Search

The Status Bar

A Status Bar runs along the top of the NOOK touchscreen. The Status Bar looks like this when GlowLight is turned on:

The Status Bar with GlowLight turned on.

The Status Bar appears on the Home Screen, the Library, the Shop, the Search screen, and on Settings screens. A slightly different version appears in books or periodicals when you open the Reading Tools.

The Left Side of the Status Bar

The left side of the Status Bar presents:

- A profile icon to manage the NOOK Profiles associated to your NOOK Account. Read the chapter "Configuring Profiles" for more information.

The Right Side of the Status Bar

The right side of the status bar presents:

• A digital clock showing the current time: 3:07 PM
• A lightbulb icon that indicates whether GlowLight is turned on or off: ♀
• A wireless connection indicator:
• A battery charge indicator: 📄

The lightbulb icon indicates whether GlowLight is turned on or off. If GlowLight is on, an icon representing an illuminated lightbulb icon appears in the Status Bar. If GlowLight is turned off, an icon representing a crossed-out lightbulb appears instead.

The wireless connection indicator displays a stack of concentric curves, indicating the strength of your NOOK's con-nection to a local Wi-Fi network. The higher the stack of curves, the stronger the connection. In general, it's best to have at least 2 or 3 curves showing to have a reliable connection. If no curves are shown, the NOOK is not con- nected to a network.

By default, the NOOK status bar displays time on a 12-hour clock. To change the time or to switch to a 24-hour clock, et the 24-hour clock option on the Time Settings screen.

GlowLight

Your NOOK includes GlowLight, a built-in light that enables you to read even in dim lighting conditions.

Turning GlowLight On or Off and Adjusting Its Brightness

You can also turn GlowLight on or off in the Quick Settings window (Tap the status bar in the upper right corner to open Quick Settings).

1. On the Home screen, in the Library, in the Shop, on the Search screen, or in Settings, tap the lightbulb icon or Wi-Fi symbol in the Status Bar.

Your NOOK opens the Quick Settings window.

1. Change the GlowLight setting as you like.

2. If GlowLight is off, swipe the GlowLight slidebar to turn GlowLight on. Slide the circle on the slide-bar to make GlowLight bright or dimmer.
   • If GlowLight is on, swipe the GlowLight slidebar all the way to the left to turn GlowLight off.

Using the LendMe Program

Lending and Borrowing Books

With Barnes & Noble's LendMe technology, you can share lendable NOOK Books with any NOOK Friend or any friend who has a Barnes & Noble account with a valid credit card number. Your NOOK Friend or friend can read the book on any NOOK tablet or NOOK eReader or on any NOOK application such as NOOK ^ for iOS, NOOK ^ for Android ^TM , NOOK ^ for Windows ^ 8, or NOOK ^ for Web.

You may lend each of your lendable books once. You cannot read

a book while it is on loan or while a lending offer is pending, but you always get the book back once it has been returned or when 14 days have passed.

All LendMe functionality is consolidated online at MyNOOK.com. Visit MyNOOK.com to lend and borrow eligible NOOK Books easily, as well as to accept LendMe offers from friends. You can read and enjoy LendMe eligible NOOK Books on your NOOK devices and through the Free NOOK Reading Apps registered to your NOOK account.

For more information, visit MyNOOK.com.

Guidelines for Lending and Borrowing Books

Here are details about lending and borrowing books.

• You can lend only LendMe eligible NOOK Books that are in your NOOK Library. Your NOOK Library holds all the NOOK Books that you have purchased. Many NOOK Books are eligible for lending, though not all are.
• You can send a lending offer to any email address, but to accept the offer, the other person must have an email address associated with a Barnes & Noble online account, a valid credit card number associated with the online account, and a NOOK device or a NOOK Reading App that supports lending. An account holder's credit card is not charged when he or she borrows a book from you.
  • You can lend, borrow, or accept a lend offer only online at MyNOOK.com.
• You can only lend a book one time. It only counts as the one-time lending if your friend accepts the lending offer. If the lending offer expires or your friend rejects the offer, the book returns to your Library and remains eligible for lending.
• When you offer to lend a book, the offer lasts for up to 7 days. The offer ends when your friend accepts the offer or when 7 days have passed.
  • Once you have offered to lend the book, you cannot retract your offer.
• A loan is for 14 calendar days, counting the day on which the lending offer is accepted. A lent book is automatically returned at the beginning of the 15th calendar day (if the borrower has not returned it more quickly).
• When you lend a book, you temporarily lend the digital rights to the book. During the period when the lending offer is pending and while the book is lent, you cannot read it. When the book is returned, you get the digital rights back, and can read the book again.
  • You cannot lend a book that has been lent to you.
  • You cannot save a copy of a lent book to the microSD card.
  • You cannot archive a book that has been lent to you.

Determining Whether a Book Can Be Lent

Not all books can be lent. Here's how you can determine whether or not a book is lendable.

• Any book eligible for lending has a LendMe badge on its cover.
- If your Library includes any books eligible to be lent out, they will appear on the shelf of lendable books in the LendMe section of your Library.

- LendMe badges are present when you are browsing and searching for books in the NOOK Shop on the BN.com website. When you navigate to the details page for a book by clicking on the title, the badge is located below the cover image if that book title can be lent.

- LendMe badges are present in your library on MyNOOK.com. If you can lend a book, a LendMe badge is present below the date added. Click the badge to lend the book.

If you have lent a book, it appears in the list of books you have lent and a "Lent" badge appears on its cover. If you double-tap the book to open its details page, you'll see the name of the friend to whom you lent the book.

Lending a Book

To lend a book, visit MyNOOK.com. Use the LendMe features on MyNOOK.com to select the book to be lent and the NOOK Friend or contact to whom you want to lend it.

Borrowing a Book

To borrow a book, visit MyNOOK.com.

To find out which of your friends have lendable books, use the Manage my NOOK Friends™ feature on the Social settings screen.

NOTE: If you're enjoying a book sample or a book you've borrowed, you can purchase the book at any time. Simply tap the Buy button at the top of any page in the book to purchase the book using your NOOK (or BN.com) account.

Configuring Profiles

A NOOK Profile tailors content and shopping experiences on your NOOK for an individual user. Your NOOK supports up to six NOOK profiles, enabling different people to use your NOOK in different ways.

All the purchases made on your NOOK through any profile are processed through the NOOK or BN.com account to which your NOOK is registered.

Types of Profiles

Your NOOK supports three types of NOOK Profiles:

• Primary Profile: This is the profile created by default when you register your NOOK. This profile can view all the content on the device an. It can also create and edit profiles for other users and manage those profiles' access to content. All pur-chases made on the NOOK are processed using the payment method associated with this profile.
• Adult Profile: An adult profile can purchase any type of content. An adult profile can also control which content is visible to itself and which content is visible to any child profile. It can also set parental controls for child profiles. It cannot control which content is visible to the primary profile.
• Child Profile: By default, a child profile can only view and purchase content authorized by the primary profile or through pa-rental controls configured by an adult profile. A child profile does not have the ability to create or edit other profiles. It cannot override parental controls.

Setting Up an Adult Profile

Your NOOK will recognize any new profiles you create, along with any profiles you created in your Barnes & Noble or NOOK account on a NOOK HD, NOOK HD+, or other NOOK Device.

To set up an adult profile, do this:

1. On the main Settings screen, tap the Profile menu choice or tap the upper left corner in the status bar Your NOOK displays the Profile settings screen.
2. Tap the plus sign (+) in the upper right corner of the screen. Your NOOK displays a form for creating a new profile.

Overview of Parental Controls

Simple-to-use parental controls help create a “kid-safe” experience on your NOOK. Using parental controls, you can limit the types of content that child profiles can view and purchase. You set up parental controls when you create a child profile. You can adjust them later if you like by editing the child profile.

Using parental controls, you can control whether or not a specific child profile can:

• Browse the NOOK Shop
• Purchase from NOOK Shop only when using your NOOK account password
• Shop only for kids' content in the NOOK Shop
• View Sideloaded Files in NOOK Library
• Access Reads for kids

1. If you are prompted to enter the main profile passcode

Managing Content for a Profile

Sharing Content

The same content can be shared by multiple profiles. Each profile will need to download the content independently to access it.

For example, if the primary profile owns a particular NOOK Book and grants another profile access to it, the book will appear in the other profile's Library with a download icon, indicating that the book is available for download. To read the book, the other profile simply has to touch its cover to download it to the profile's storage area on your NOOK.

Annotations, such as notes and highlights, are specific to a profile. If one profile makes notes and highlights in a book, they will not be visible to other profiles reading the same book.

Similarly, if two profiles own the same book, their reading positions in the book are tracked independently. If one profile reads to page 17 and the other profile reads to page 25, each profile will be taken to his or her most recently read page when the book is reopened. The first profile will be returned to page 17; the second profile to page 25.

Using Your NOOK at Wi-Fi Hotspots

In addition to connecting to your Wi-Fi network in your home or office, you can use your NOOK to connect to public Wi-Fi hot spots in stores, restaurants, hotels, cafes, airports, and many other locations.

This section summarizes how your NOOK works with various types of Wi-Fi hotspots.

Wi-Fi Networks in Barnes & Noble Stores

Your NOOK will automatically detect a Wi-Fi network in a Barnes & Noble store and ask if you want to connect to it. In-store Wi-Fi connections for NOOK devices are free and include exclusive features such as Read In Store and More In Store. For more information, see "Using Your NOOK in a Barnes & Noble Store".

AT&T Wi-Fi Hotspots

Your NOOK will also automatically detect any AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot and ask if you want to connect to it. Access to AT&T Wi-Fi hot-spots in the U.S. is free for NOOK GlowLight 3 devices.

Unsecured Wi-Fi Networks

Your NOOK will detect unsecured Wi-Fi networks close by. An unsecured Wi-Fi network does not require users to enter a password in order to establish a connection. You can simply select the network and connect to it.

Secured Wi-Fi Networks

Your NOOK will also detect secured Wi-Fi networks. A secured Wi-Fi network requires users to enter a password before they can connect to the network.

There are several different security protocols available for securing networks. Your NOOK recognizes and supports the most popular Wi-Fi security protocols, including:

• WEP
  • WPA/WPA2 PSK
  802.1×EAP

To connect to a secured Wi-Fi network, select it from a list of networks and enter its password when prompted.

NOTE: If you do not know the password for the network, ask the network administrator for help.

NOTE: If your NOOK will display dialog boxes that let you select a network and enter a password.

Proxied Wi-Fi Networks

Proxied Wi-Fi networks typically present a Web page with terms and conditions, a login screen, and possibly a payment screen, before allowing you to connect to the network. You'll encounter this type of network in many hotels, restaurants, and airports. Your NOOK detects these networks.

When selecting a proxied network as a connection, your NOOK usually opens a dialog box in which you can read and accept terms and conditions, perhaps enter credit card information and login credentials, and connect. However, this behavior may vary from net-work to network.

Updating the Software on Your NOOK

From time to time Barnes & Noble will release software updates for your NOOK. Your NOOK will automatically install these updates.

NOTE: Updating software does not delete any of your books, magazines, or newspapers, nor does it delete any of the files you have transferred onto your NOOK from your personal computer. The software update simply installs new NOOK software to give you the latest features available from Barnes & Noble. Your NOOK remains registered to your Barnes & Noble account, and all your reading material remains accessible.

Installing a Software Update over a Wireless Network

When a new software update is available, your NOOK will download it and install it sometime over the course of a couple of weeks after Barnes & Noble releases the update, and while your registered NOOK device is idle and connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot. There is nothing else that you need to do to receive these automatic software updates.

Software installations take only a few minutes. Updating your software doesn't affect the contents of your Library or the titles listed in your Keep Reading list. Once the software installation is complete, you can continue reading or shopping or doing whatever else you were doing before the new software was installed.

You check for the availability of a new release by tapping the Check for System Update button on the Software settings screen, which is described below.

Discovering the Version Number of Your NOOK Software

To discover which software release your NOOK is running, do this:

I. Tap Settings in the NOOK Navigation menu to open the main Settings screen.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Software.

Your NOOK opens the Software settings screen, which lists the version number of the software release your NOOK is running.

Checking for the Availability of a New Software Update

NOTE: You must be connected to a Wi-Fi network to check for a new software update and to install that update on your NOOK.

I. Open the Software settings screen, as described above.
2. Tap the Check for System Update button.

Your NOOK checks for the availability of a new software update. If one is available, it begins downloading the update. Your NOOK automatically installs the update after your device next goes to sleep.

Tips and Troubleshooting

Solving Problems

My NOOK is sluggish or unresponsive.

Like any computer or electronic equipment, your NOOK periodically needs to be completely powered off (not just put in Sleep Mode) to allow it to reset.

To power off your NOOK, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds. At that point, the device should be turned-off. Wait a few seconds, and then press and hold the power button for about 2 seconds to turn your NOOK back on.

I want to change my BN.com account password. What should I do?

Before you change your password on BN.com, first deregister your NOOK, so your NOOK isn't configured to use a password that you have made obsolete.

NOTE: You must be connected to a Wi-Fi network to de-register your NOOK.

NOTE: De-registering your device will delete any content you have side-loaded on your NOOK. You might want to make sure you have copies of this content on your personal computer. You do not need to back up the books, magazines, and newspapers you have purchased through the NOOK Shop. These items will be restored to your NOOK automatically when you re-register it, using your new password.

Deregistering Your NOOK

To deregister your NOOK, do this:

I. Tap Settings in the NOOK Navigation menu to open the main Settings screen.
2. Tap Device Info.
3. Tap the Erase & Deregister Device menu choice.
4. On the Erase & Deregister Device screen, tap the Erase & Deregister Device button.
A dialog box appears, asking you to confirm that you want to reset your NOOK.
5. Tap the Reset NOOK button.
Your NOOK deregisters itself, restoring factory default settings.

Changing Your Password

Once you have deregistered your NOOK, log in to BN.com and change your password.

Reregistering Your NOOK

Once you have changed your password on BN.com, register your NOOK, following the registration instructions you followed when you first set up your NOOK. See “Registering Your NOOK” at the beginning of this guide.

When you need to enter your BN.com account login information, be sure to enter your new password.

The screen is acting as though I'm tapping it, even though I am not.

If your screen is dirty, it might detect touches when none are occurring. This problem can occur on any touchscreen device. Turn off your NOOK, and wipe the screen clean with a soft, dry cloth. Pay particular attention to clear out or gently blow out any dust or dirt from the small lip around the edges of the display. Then turn your NOOK back on.

I'm trying to lend a book through Facebook, but the Post button doesn't seem to be working.

Make sure you include a comment with your posting about lending the book. Posting a LendMe offer through Facebook requires at least a brief comment.

I transferred a ZIP archive from my personal computer. Why can't I access the files?

Unzip files on your personal computer before transferring them to your NOOK. Your NOOK can read EPUB files and PDFs, but not .zip files.

Appendix A: Page Numbering and File Formats

When you read a book or periodical on your NOOK, you're reading the same words that appear in the paper edition of the book or periodical. In most books, the page number that appears at the bottom of the screen is the page number you would see if you were reading the printed version of the same book.

Because printed pages can be larger than the screen of your NOOK, and because many printed books use type that is smaller than would be pleasant to read on an eReader, your NOOK may enlarge the type on a page and spread a physical page of text across two or more digital pages.

Because digital pages might be smaller than the physical pages of a book, you might turn the page a few times on your NOOK and still see the same physical page number in the upper right hand corner. For example, you might find three screens of text in your book all labeled page 47.

The relation between digital pages and physical pages can vary, because your NOOK gives you a great deal of freedom in choosing the size of fonts, the amount of spacing between lines, and other factors that affect how text flows onto a page. In most books, you'll always know which physical page you're on from the number in the upper right. So if you're discussing a book in a book club, everyone can refer to page 295 and be talking about the same page, even if you've configured your NOOK to use small type and single-spacing and everyone else in the group is using large type and double-spacing.

Page Numbering and File Formats

There are several different formats for eBooks, and these different formats treat page numbers differently. Barnes & Noble eBooks are published in the EPUB format, but you can load other types of documents, such as PDFs, onto your NOOK.

Here's a quick summary of what you need to know about file formats and page numbering:

• eBooks and Periodicals in EPUB format

EPUB is the standard format for books in the Barnes & Noble online store. The EPUB format numbers all pages in a book sequentially, based on some prior account of page numbering, such as the page numbering used in the print edition. If the print edition of the book had 525 pages, so will the eBook. But the pages are re-flowed in the eBook edition to make them easier to view on a screen. As a result, a page from the print edition might be larger or smaller than a page in the eBook.

In many cases, a page from the print edition will span two or more pages on an eReader, as described above.

• Reflowable eBooks in PDF Format

In reflowable eBooks formatted in PDF, page numbering is for the entire book and reflects some prior account of page numbering, before formatting for the eBook text size. The behavior is the same as for eBooks in EPUB format, which is described above.

• Non-reflowable eBooks in PDF format

Page numbering is for the entire book, and reflects the number of scanned pages. Page numbers also might be on the scanned pages, but there is no necessary relationship. Page 6 in the eBook might have the scanned page number iv, and page 30 in the eBook might have the scanned page number 5.

Appendix B: International Use and Languages

TO FIND THE EXACT TERMS OF YOUR WARRANTY, PLEASE GO TO NOOK.COM/WARRANTY AND REVIEW THE TERMS APPLICABLE AS OF THE DATE OF YOUR PURCHASE.

ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

This Limited Warranty provides for specific legal rights with respect to your NOOK® device. Please review it carefully. You may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.

WHAT WARRANTIES APPLY TO MY NOOK?

What is Covered?

This Limited Warranty covers your NOOK. For purposes of this Limited Warranty, "NOOK" means only the hardware comprising: (i) your NOOK device; and (ii) the peripherals included in the packaging with your NOOK device.

Express Warranty

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Limited Warranty, NOOK Publishing ("B&N") warrants to the original retail purchaser only ("you") that your NOOK will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal consumer use for a period of one (1) year from the date of original retail purchase (the "Warranty Period"). This express warranty is not transferable to subsequent owners of the product. If your NOOK was originally purchased by someone else as a gift for you, as shown by a gift receipt, you will be considered the "original retail purchaser" of that NOOK.

Implied Warranty

You may also have implied warranties under the laws of some jurisdictions. To the extent permitted by applicable law, such implied warranties are limited to the duration of the Warranty Period. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on the duration of an implied warranty, so this limitation may not apply to you. You may not assign or otherwise transfer such implied warranties. However, some jurisdictions extend the protection of implied warranties to subsequent consumers, so this limitation may not apply to you.

HOW DO I MAKE A WARRANTY CLAIM OR OTHERWISE ARRANGE FOR THE RETURN OF MY NOOK?

To make a warranty claim or arrange for the return of your NOOK pursuant to the NOOK TERMS OF SERVICE, you must contact B&N at one of the following numbers during the Warranty Period:

• Within the United States - I-800-THE-BOOK (843-2665)
• Outside the United States - [phone]

HOW DO I RETURN MY NOOK TO B&N?

When you contact B&N at one of the numbers above, B&N will provide instructions to you as to how and where to return your NOOK. Your NOOK must be shipped, prepaid and insured, in appropriate protective packaging, together with proof of purchase and the Return Authorization Number provided by B&N, to the address specified by B&N. You must return your NOOK within the timeframe provided by B&N. You may also be required to provide a credit card to obtain an advance replacement before B&N receives your NOOK at its returns center.

All returned NOOKs become the property of B&N.

Before you send your NOOK to B&N, it is your responsibility to back up any data, software or files stored on your NOOK because B&N will only return your NOOK to you if it is not covered by this Limited Warranty and B&N has not provided an advance replacement. B&N is not responsible for any loss of your data, software or files or for the cost of backing up your data, software or files.

If you do not comply with the terms above or with B&N's instructions, there may be delays in service or you may incur additional expenses. In particular, if you do not return your NOOK within the timeframe specified by B&N, B&N reserves the right to charge you the purchase price for a replacement NOOK. You will be solely responsible for any cost, expense, loss or the like relating to your failure to comply with such terms or B&N's instructions.

B&N DOES NOT PROVIDE, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS, ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES REGARDING ITS WARRANTY SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL DUTIES (IF ANY) OF WORKMANLIKE EFFORT AND OF REASONABLE CARE.

IF I MAKE A WARRANTY CLAIM, WHAT WILL B&N DO WHEN IT RECEIVES MY NOOK?

When B&N receives your NOOK, it will examine it and determine whether it is covered by this Limited Warranty. If, upon examination, B&N determines that your NOOK is covered by this Limited Warranty, B&N will, within a reasonable period of time, at B&N's option and in its sole discretion, and at no additional charge, do one of the following:

• replace your NOOK with a new or refurbished model; or
• refund the purchase price you paid for your NOOK.

If B&N replaces your NOOK, B&N will bear the cost of sending a replacement NOOK to you, freight prepaid.

THE FOREGOING IS YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR FOR ANY OTHER CLAIMS OTHERWISE RELATING TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY.

WHAT WILL BE THE WARRANTY PERIOD IF MY NOOK IS REPLACED?

If your NOOK is replaced during the Warranty Period, it will be covered by this Limited Warranty for the remainder of the original Warranty Period or ninety (90) days from the date of shipment of the replaced NOOK, whichever is longer.

WHAT IF MY NOOK IS NOT COVERED BY THIS LIMITED WARRANTY?

If your NOOK is not covered by this Limited Warranty, B&N will return your NOOK to you, at your expense, or will charge your credit card for any advance replacement NOOK provided to you.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY?

This Limited Warranty does not cover damage or malfunctions caused by accident, disaster, misuse (including any use in a manner contrary to the instructions contained in any user guide or on the packaging of the device), abuse, negligence or other external causes; third-party products; Internet or telecommunications failures; commercial use; unauthorized opening, use, service, tampering, alteration, repair or modification; or inadequate packing or shipping procedures. This Limited Warranty also does not cover cosmetic damage or normal wear and tear. This Limited Warranty does not apply to NOOKs sold as used, refurbished or reconditioned, except to the extent that such NOOK is a certified pre-owned NOOK that was purchased directly from B&N or from a B&N authorized reseller of certified pre-owned NOOKs. This Limited Warranty will be void if the Serial Number on your NOOK has been removed, tampered with or defaced or if your NOOK has been opened or serviced without authorization, tampered with, altered or modified. Please note that opening the back cover of your NOOK to change the battery, external SD card or back cover will void this Limited Warranty, ex-cept to the extent that such opening is done through a customer-accessible opening and in accordance with the instructions provided with the NOOK.

This Limited Warranty applies to your NOOK only (i.e., the hardware), and not to the software within your NOOK. Please refer to the NOOK TERMS OF SERVICE for your rights and remedies with respect to such software.

Similarly, this Limited Warranty does not cover downloaded data or materials, or accessories and peripherals, except as expressly provided above.

WHAT OTHER LEGAL TERMS APPLY TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY?

Disclaimer

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THIS LIMITED WARRANTY AND THE REMEDIES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, REMEDIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER ORAL, WRITTEN, STATUTORY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, B&N SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS NOT EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, SECURITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND AGAINST HIDDEN OR LATENT DEFECTS.

Modification

No employee or representative of B&N or its affiliates or any third party is authorized to make any modification, extension or addition to this Limited Warranty. If any term of this Limited Warranty is held to be illegal or unenforceable, the remaining terms of this Limited Warranty will remain in full force and effect.

Exclusion of Indirect Damages

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER B&N NOR ITS AFFILIATES NOR ITS LICENSORS WILL BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES ARISING FROM, RELATING TO OR CONNECTED WITH YOUR PURCHASE OR USE OF YOUR NOOK, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE OR LOST DATA, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION ON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, PRODUCT DEFECT OR MISREPRESENTATION, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OCCURRING, AND EVEN IF ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.

Applicable Law

This Limited Warranty is valid only in the United States of America. The laws of the State of New York, U.S.A. will apply to this Limited Warranty, though the laws of your state of residence may apply to any tort claims and any claims under any consumer protection stat-utes, as provided under applicable law.

Appendix H: AT&T Terms of Service & Acceptable Use Policy

These Terms of Service & Acceptable Use Policy (the "Terms") govern your use of AT&T Internet Services' AT&T Wi-Fi service ("Service") and the AT&T Internet Services network ("Network"). If you connect to the AT&T Wi-Fi service via one of AT&T's roaming partners, your use of the Service will also be governed by that provider's Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy, which will be available on the first screen that you see when you access the Wi-Fi service. Before using the Service, read the following Terms. Your use of the Service represents your agreement to these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, do not use the Service.

Terms of Service

Description of the Service

The Service is provided by AT&T Internet Services ("AT&T"). The Service provides you with wireless access to the Internet via certain AT&T high-speed Internet access points ("Locations") and, depending on your Service plan, certain roaming partner locations. AT&T offers two types of plans: (1) subscription plans for AT&T High Speed Internet Customers ("Subscription"); and (2) membership plans for those who do not have AT&T High Speed Internet ("Membership") (Membership plans include special offers such as the Starbucks Loyalty Membership and Starbucks Partner Membership program). Membership customers are also subject to the terms of conditions of the applicable End User Membership Agreement.

AT&T may, but is not obligated to, extend its Locations through roaming agreements with other Internet Service Providers. If AT&T does extend its Locations and you access the Service of a roaming partner, you will be responsible for any applicable roaming charges if you do not subscribe to a roaming Service plan from AT&T.

Charges/Billing/Payment

You agree to pay all charges and fees specified when your ordered the Service, including any monthly recurring or nonrecurring charges, taxes, fees, surcharges or other assessments applicable to the Service. All AT&T charges for the Service are billed in advance. Membership customers are billed according to the terms and conditions of the Membership Agreement. Subscription customers' charges will appear monthly on the AT&T portion of your AT&T local telephone bill. The Service is provided on a month-to-month basis and the monthly charges are subject to change. Payment for the Service is due on the date specified on the AT&T local telephone bill. If any portion of payment is received after the payment due date, a monthly late charge may apply. The monthly late charge will be administered according to standard AT&T billing procedures and will not exceed the highest amount allowed by law. The late charge will be applied to the entire outstanding balance for each month or portion thereof for which the balance remains unpaid. In the event you fail to pay charges, AT&T may suspend or terminate your Service and may assign unpaid late balances to a collection agency for appropriate action. In the event legal action is necessary to collect on balances due, you agree to reimburse AT&T for all expenses in-curred to recover sums due, including attorneys' fees and other legal expenses. You also agree to pay all current charges for the Service as well as taxes and fees assessed against you or AT&T on the charges and all late payment, interest or other fees as stated on your bill. You will also be charged a fee for any check returned to AT&T relating to the Service. AT&T may modify its billing practices or late payment charges by providing you with prior written notice of the modification.

Service Suspension/Termination/Cancellation

AT&T respects freedom of expression and believes it is a foundation of our free society to express differing points of view. AT&T will not terminate, disconnect or suspend service because of the views you or we express on public policy matters, political issues or politi-cal campaigns. However, AT&T may immediately terminate or suspend all or a portion of your Service, without notice, for conduct that AT&T believes (a) violates the Acceptable Use Policy, set forth below; or (b) constitutes a violation of any law,

regulation or tariff (including, without limitation, copyright and intellectual property laws) or a violation of these Terms, or any applicable policies or guidelines. Your Service may be suspended or terminated if your payment is past due and such condition continues un-remedied for thirty (30) days. Termination or suspension by AT&T of Service also constitutes termination or suspension (as applicable) of your license to use any Software. AT&T may also terminate or suspend your Service if you provide false or inaccurate information that is required for the provision of Service or is necessary to allow AT&T to bill you for Service. Membership customers: customer cancellation of Services is governed by the terms and conditions of your Membership Agreement. Subscription customers: you may cancel your subscription to the Service at any time by contacting AT&T. If canceled after the first month, subscription charges will be prorated to the date the Service is cancelled. If you disconnect your DSL or Dial Internet access services, your subscription to the Service will also automatically cancel.

Modifications to the Service / Updates to the Terms

AT&T reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, at any time and from time to time, the Service (or any function or feature of the Service or any part thereof, including but not limited to rates and charges) with or without notice. You agree that AT&T will not be liable to you or to any third party for any such modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service. With-out limiting the foregoing, AT&T may post, or email, notices of changes in the Service. It is your responsibility to check our website and your AT&T email address for any such notices. You agree that AT&T will not be liable to you or to any third party for any such modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.

These Terms may be updated or changed from time to time. The current Terms shall be posted at: ("Website"). If AT&T makes a change to these Terms and that change has a material impact on the Service, you will be provided electronic notice of that change via e-mail or other written notice. Your continued use of the Service following such notice constitutes your acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree to the revisions, you must terminate your Service immediately.

Operational Limits of the Service.

Provisioning of the Service is subject to the availability and the operational limitations of the requisite equipment and associated facilities. You understand and agree that temporary interruptions of the Service may occur as normal events in the provision of the Service and that AT&T will not be liable for such interruptions. You further understand and agree that AT&T has no control over third party networks you may access in the course of your use of the Service, and therefore, delays and disruptions of other network transmissions are beyond the control of AT&T. AT&T will not be liable for any failure of performance, if such failure is due to any cause beyond AT&T's reasonable control, including acts of God, fire, explosion, vandalism, nuclear disaster, terrorism, cable cut, storm or other similar occurrence, any law, order or regulation by any government, civil, or military authority, national emergencies, insurrections, riots, wars, labor difficulties, supplier failures, shortages, breaches, or delays, or delays caused by you or your equipment.

Registration/Customer Information/Password Security

All information that you provide to AT&T must be accurate, including your name, email address, physical address, credit or charge card numbers and expiration dates and any Service payment information ("Registration Data"). You are responsible for keeping such information up-to-date and must provide changes promptly to AT&T. You agree to keep confidential your log-in ID and password and are solely responsible for any liability or damages resulting from your failure to maintain that confidentiality. You are also solely and fully responsible and liable for all activities that occur under your member ID. You agree to immediately notify AT&T if you suspect any breach of security such as loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure or use of your member ID or password.

These activities may relate to the content stored or transmitted by Customers or its Users or to the nature of the transmissions themselves such as sending large numbers of unsolicited messages (Spam).

Customers are responsible for avoiding the prohibited activities and strictly following the AUP terms set forth herein.

AUP Coverage

The AT&T Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") applies to the services that provide (or include) access to the Internet, services provided over the Internet, and Hosting services (collectively "IP Services"). Customer is responsible for the actions of others who may be using the IP Service(s) under Customer's account. It is Customer's obligation to take whatever measures are necessary to protect access to Customer's account (e.g., to keep the access password secure). If a Customer or its User(s) violate the AUP, AT&T may, depending on the nature and severity of the violation, suspend or terminate service, as specified below.

Customer may have access through the AT&T network(s) and Service(s) to search engines, subscription web services, chat areas, bulle-tin boards, web pages, USENET, or other services that promulgate rules, guidelines or agreements to govern their use. Failure to adhere to any such rules, guidelines, or agreements shall be a violation of this AUP.

AT&T is aware that some of its Customers are, themselves, providers of Internet based services, and that information reaching AT&T network(s) or facilities from those Customers may have originated from the AT&T Customer or from another third-party. AT&T re-serves the right to take action against AT&T Customer and directly against such Customers' subscribers, even though the AT&T's corrective action may affect other non-offending subscribers of the AT&T Customer.

AUP Enforcement and Notice

Customer's failure to observe the guidelines set forth in this AUP may result in AT&T taking actions anywhere from a warning to a suspension of privileges or termination of your Service(s). AT&T reserves the right, but does not assume the obligation, to strictly enforce the AUP. When feasible, AT&T may provide Customer with notice of an AUP violation via e-mail or otherwise and demand that such violation is immediately corrected.

However, AT&T reserves the right to act immediately and without notice to suspend or terminate IP Service(s) in response to a court order or other legal requirement that certain conduct should be stopped or when AT&T determines, in its sole discretion, that the conduct may: (1) expose AT&T to sanctions, prosecution, civil action or any other liability, (2) cause harm to or interfere with the integrity or normal operations of AT&T's network(s) or facilities, (3) interfere with another person's use of AT&T's IP Service(s) or the Internet, or (4) otherwise present a risk of harm to AT&T or AT&T Customers or other parties AT&T interconnects with.

AT&T's decisions with respect to interpretation of the AUP and appropriate remedial actions are final and determined by AT&T in its sole discretion. AT&T may refer potential violations of law(s) to the proper authorities, may cooperate in the investigation of any suspected criminal or civil wrongdoing, and will cooperate with authorities when required to do so by law, subpoena, or when the public safety is at stake. AT&T assumes no obligation to inform you that your information has been disclosed, and, in some cases, may be prohibited by law from providing such notice.

AT&T does not, as an ordinary practice, proactively monitor the activities of those who use its IP Service(s) or exercise any editorial control over any material transmitted, hosted or posted using IP Services to ensure that its Customers comply with the AUP and/or the law, although it reserves the right to do so. If AT&T is alerted to violations or potential violations of this AUP, AT&T will take what-ever measures it deems necessary and appropriate to stop or prevent such violations including the actions described in this AUP. For example, AT&T may in its sole discretion refuse to transmit, screen, or editing content prior to delivery of the IP Service(s), block access to certain categories of numbers or certain sites as AT&T determines needed to enforce these policies.

If your Service is suspended or terminated for any AUP violation, you must get written approval from the AT&T Abuse Team (outside of the normal ordering process) prior to reactivating or ordering new service. In any case, AT&T may, in its discretion, decline to reinstate your Service. If AT&T approves you for reinstatement or new service, set-up fees, reactivation fees or deposits may apply. If AT&T discovers that you have renewed Service, or ordered new Service, following termination for an AUP violation without the prior written consent of the AT&T abuse team, it may terminate your Service without further notice. In such case, you are responsible for any applicable early termination charges.

AT&T will not issue any refunds, credits or other forms of compensation for the period when IP Service(s) have been suspended as a result of violation(s) or alleged violation(s) of this AUP.

AT&T shall not be liable for any damages of any nature suffered by any Customer, User, or third party resulting in whole or in part from AT&T's exercise of its rights under this AUP.

Prohibited Actions

AT&T respects freedom of expression and believes it is a foundation of our free society to express differing points of view. AT&T will not terminate, disconnect or suspend service because of the views you or we express on public policy matters, political issues or politi-cal campaigns. AT&T is committed at all times, however, to complying with the laws and regulations governing use of the Internet and e-mail transmissions and to preserving for all of its Customers the ability to use AT&T's network and the Internet without interference or harassment from other users. AT&T prohibits use of its IP Services in any way that is unlawful, interferes with use of AT&T's net-work or the Internet, interferes in any way with the usage or enjoyment of services received by others, infringes intellectual property rights, results in the publication of threatening or offensive material, constitutes Spam/E-mail/Usenet abuse, or presents security or privacy risks. Customer will not resell or provide Service(s) to unauthorized third parties, whether as part of a commercial enterprise or otherwise.

Customer is prohibited from engaging in any other activity, whether legal or not, that AT&T determines in its sole discretion, to be harmful to its subscribers, operations, network(s).

Unlawful Activities

AT&T IP Services shall not be used in connection with any criminal, civil or administrative violation of any applicable local, state, and provincial, federal, national or international law, treaty, court order, ordinance, regulation or administrative rule.

Accounts registered using false or misleading information may be terminated immediately and without notice.

Intellectual Property

You are prohibited from infringing, publishing, submitting, copying, uploading, downloading, posting, transmitting, reproducing, or distributing software, video or audio content, or any other material that is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, any other type of intellectual property rights, trademark laws (by rights of privacy or publicity) or other proprietary right of any party unless you own or control the rights thereto or have received all necessary consent to do the same. This prohibition includes the use of any material or information including images or photographs that are made available through an AT&T site or Service(s).

Offensive or Threatening Material or Content

AT&T IP Services shall not be used to host, post, transmit, or re-transmit any content or material that is threatening, harassing, ob-scene, indecent, hateful, malicious, racist, fraudulent, deceptive, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, abusive, inflammatory, or other-wise harmful or offensive to third parties, treasonous, excessively violent or promotes the use of violence, or provides instruction, in-formation or assistance in causing or carrying out violence against any government, organization, group or individual, or provides guid-ance, information or assistance with respect to causing damage or security breaches to AT&T's network or to the network of any other IP Service provider. Customer shall not create or attempt to utilize a domain name that is fraudulent, indecent, offensive, deceptive, threatening, abusive or harassing.

Interaction with Minors

AT&T has a zero tolerance policy regarding use of its Service to engage in inappropriate conduct with a minor (anyone under 18 years of age). You shall not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from a minor without the express consent of the parent or guardian of the minor, nor shall you use this Service to harm or intimidate a minor. AT&T complies with all federal and state laws per-taining to the protection of minors, including the reporting of all apparent cases of child pornography or exploitation to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Spam/E-mail/Usenet Abuse

Violation of the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, or any state or federal law regulating e-mail services, constitutes an automatic violation of this AUP and AT&T reserves the right to seek damages and other available relief against Customer, as applicable.

Spam/E-mail/Usenet Abuse is prohibited on AT&T IP Services. Examples of Spam/E-mail/Usenet Abuse include but are not limited to the following activities:

• Sending unsolicited electronic mail messages and “mail-bombing” (sending mass unsolicited e-mail messages to a single user, or group of users, commercial or otherwise, or deliberately sending very large attachments to one recipient) using IP Service(s) are prohibited.
• using another site's mail server to relay mail without the express permission of the site;
• using another computer, without authorization, to send multiple e-mail messages or to retransmit e-mail messages for the purpose of misleading recipients as to the origin;

• using IP addresses that the Customer does not have a right to use; collecting the responses from unsolicited electronic messages

• maintaining a site that is advertised via unsolicited electronic messages, regardless of the origin of the unsolicited electronic messages

• spamming, or sending unsolicited commercial e-mail, sending unsolicited electronic messages with petitions for signatures, or any chain mail related materials, or requests for charitable donations
• sending messages that are harassing or malicious, or otherwise could reasonably be predicted to interfere with another party's quiet enjoyment of the AT&T IP Services or the Internet (e.g., through language, frequency, size or otherwise)
• sending bulk (i.e., twenty-five or more recipients) electronic messages without identifying, within the message, a reasonable means of opting out from receiving additional messages from the sender
  • using distribution lists containing addresses that include those who have opted out
• sending electronic messages that do not accurately identify the sender, the sender's return address, the e-mail address of origin, or other information contained in the subject line or header
  • forging headers or identifiers in order to disguise the origin of e-mail
  • use of redirect links in unsolicited commercial e-mail to advertise a website or service
• posting a single message, or messages to online forums or newsgroups, that could reasonably be expected to provoke com-plaints
• posting messages to or canceling or superseding messages on an online forum or newsgroup in a manner that violates the rules of the forum or newsgroup or that contain forged header information
• sending bulk electronic messages in quantities that exceed standard industry norms or that create the potential for disruption of the AT&T network or of the networks with which AT&T interconnects
• intercepting, redirecting or otherwise interfering or attempting to interfere with e-mail intended for other parties knowingly deleting any author attributions, legal notices or proprietary designations or labels in a file that the user mails or sends using, distributing, advertising, transmitting, or otherwise making available any software program, product, or service that is designed to violate this AUP or the AUP of any other Internet Service Provider, including, but not limited to, the facilitation of the means to spam

Spam Damages: Because spam related damages are often difficult to quantify, in those cases where the actual damages cannot be rea-sonably calculated AT&T reserves the right to seek from the Customer liquidated damages in the amount of five dollars (US\$5.00) for each piece of 'spam' or unsolicited bulk email transmitted from or otherwise connected with Customer's account, in addition to any other rights and remedies AT&T my have in contract, law and equity.

Security Violations

It is Customer's responsibility to ensure the security of its network and the machines that connect to and use IP Service(s).

You are responsible for configuring and securing your services to prevent damage to the AT&T network and/or the disruption of Service(s) to other customers, and ensuring that your customers and users use the Service(s) in an appropriate manner. Customer is required to take all necessary steps to manage the use of the IP Service(s) in such a manner that network abuse is prevented or minimized to the greatest extent possible. It is Customer's responsibility to take corrective actions on vulnerable or exploited systems to prevent continued abuse. Violations of system or network security are prohibited and may result in criminal and/or civil liability.

AT&T IP Services may not be used to interfere with, to gain unauthorized access to, or otherwise violate the security of AT&T's or another party's server, network, personal computer, network access or control devices, software or data, or other system, or to at-tempt to do any of the foregoing. Examples of violations of system or network security include but are not limited to:

- intercepting, interfering with or redirecting e-mail intended for third parties, or any form of network monitoring, scanning or probing, or other action for the unauthorized interception of data or harvesting of e-mail addresses

• hacking - attempting to attack, breach, circumvent or test the vulnerability of the user authentication or security of any host, network, server, personal computer, network access and control devices, software or data without express authorization of the owner of the system or network
• impersonating others in order to obtain another user's account password or other personal information
• using the IP Service(s) to deliver spyware, or secretly or deceptively obtain the personal information of third parties (phishing, etc.), or engage in modem hi-jacking

• distributing or using tools designed to compromise security, including cracking tools, password guessing programs, packet sniffers or network probing tools (except in the case of authorized legitimate network security operations)
• unauthorized monitoring of data or traffic on any network or system without express authorization of the owner of the system or network; this would include use of sniffers or SNMP tools
• falsifying packet header, sender, or User information whether in whole or in part to mask the identity of the sender, originator or point of origin
• knowingly uploading or distributing files that contain viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancel bots, corrupted files, or any other similar software or programs that may damage the operation of another's computer or property of another
• engaging in the transmission of pirated software; with respect to dial-up accounts, using any software or device designed to defeat system time-out limits or to allow your account to stay logged on while you are not actively using the AT&T IP Service(s) or using your account for the purpose of operating a server of any type
  • using manual or electronic means to avoid any use limitations placed on the Services
• gaining unauthorized access to private networks; violating rules, regulations, and policies applicable to any network, server, computer database, web site, or ISP that you access through the IP Service(s)

Network Usage

Where an AT&T Service account, service or feature description specifies limits on bandwidth, disk utilization, simultaneous connections, and/or aggregate data download or upload, use in excess of those limits is not permitted without an appropriate change in account type or status and may incur additional charges for such usage.

Bandwidth, disk utilization, simultaneous connections, and aggregate data downloads/uploads will be computed or determined by AT&T from time to time in developing its product and service offerings. In the event AT&T determines that an account is exceeding the relevant bandwidth, disk utilization, aggregate data download/upload limits, simultaneous connections, or reasonable session times, the account owner will generally be notified by E-mail. If the excess use continues after such notification, the owner may be requested to upgrade the type of account or to modify the activity creating the excess use, or the account may be terminated.

If excessive bandwidth, disk space utilization, simultaneous connections, aggregate data download or upload, or session length is deter-mined to adversely affect AT&T's ability to provide service, immediate action may be taken. The account owner may be notified by e-mail as soon as practical thereafter.

Customer Responsibilities

Customer remains solely and fully responsible for the content of any material posted, hosted, downloaded/uploaded, created, accessed or transmitted using the IP Services. AT&T takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any material created or accessible on or through the AT&T network(s) using IP Service(s), or for any mistakes, defamation, slander, libel, omissions, falsehoods, obscenity, pornography, or profanity Customer (or its Users) may encounter. As the provider of IP Service(s), AT&T is only a forum and is not liable for any statements, representations, or content provided by the users of IP Services in any public forum. AT&T shall not be obligated to monitor or exercise any editorial control over such material, but reserves the right to do so. In the event that AT&T becomes aware that any such material may violate this AUP, other applicable terms of use or contract provisions, and/or expose AT&T to civil or criminal liability, AT&T reserves the right to block access to such material and suspend or terminate the Service of any user creating, storing or disseminating such material. AT&T further reserves the right to conduct investigations into fraud, violations of the Terms of Service, this AUP or other laws or regulations, and to cooperate with legal authorities and third parties in the investigation of alleged wrongdoing, including disclosing the identity of the user that AT&T deems responsible for the wrongdoing.

Customer agrees to indemnify and hold AT&T harmless from any claim, action, demand, loss, or damage (including attorneys' fees) made by any third party against AT&T as a provider of the IP Service(s) arising out of or relating to any violation(s) of this AUP by Customer (or its Users).

Incident Reporting

Any complaints (other than claims of copyright or trademark infringement) regarding violation of this AUP by an AT&T Customer (or its User) should be directed to [e-mail]. Where possible, include details that would assist AT&T in investigating and resolving such complaint (i.e. expanded headers and a copy of the offending transmission).

Revisions to the AUP

AT&T reserves the right to modify its Acceptable Use Policy at any time, and effective when posted to AT&T's web site (http://www.corp.att.com/aup). Notice of any change to this AUP may also be provided to a Customer via electronic mail, if Customer subscribes to AT&T's automated notification system regarding any AUP changes. It is your responsibility to notify AT&T of any change of address. You must respond in a timely manner to complaints concerning misuse of the Service(s) obtained from AT&T. Fail-ure to responsibly manage the use of the Service(s) obtained from AT&T may be cause for termination of Service(s) to you and, depending upon the terms under which you acquired your Service(s), could lead to the imposition of early termination fees.
