Customizing your Kindle settings
To go to the Settings page, tap the Menu button from the Home screen and select Settings.
Your Kindle must be registered to view all settings. The available settings are:
Airplane Mode: Allows you to enable or disable wireless connectivity.
Wi-Fi Networks: Use this option to connect to a Wi-Fi network, display a list of available
networks, and view the name of the Wi-Fi network you are currently connected to, if any.
Registration: Indicates the Amazon account name to which your Kindle is registered. Use
this option to register and deregister your Kindle.
Device Options: Lets you set a passcode, enable Parental Controls, manage the screen light,
personalize the device name, add personal info, set device time, control recommended
content display, view your Send-to-Kindle email address, select a language for your device,
add keyboards for different languages, and select dictionaries.
Device Passcode: Allows you to restrict access to your Kindle by setting a passcode.
You'll subsequently be prompted to enter the passcode whenever you turn on the
device or wake it from sleep. If you don't remember your passcode, you must
contact Kindle Customer Service.
Parental Controls: Choose between Kindle FreeTime and Restrictions. Use Kindle
FreeTime to create personalized profiles for your child, select books from your
library to share, and set daily reading goals while automatically blocking access to
places you may not want your child to go, such as the Kindle Store, Goodreads on
Kindle, or the Experimental Web Browser. Use Restrictions to manually block the
Experimental Web Browser, Kindle Store, Cloud, and/or Goodreads on Kindle. When
you set up Kindle FreeTime or turn on a restriction for the first time, you will be
prompted to create a password. Note that this password will be required to make
changes to settings within Parental Controls. To change the password, select Change
Password from the Parental Controls screen. If you forget your password, reset it by
visiting www.amazon.com/myk and deregistering your device, or by contacting
Amazon Customer Service. When Restrictions are enabled or a FreeTime profile is
active, you will see a lock icon at the top of the screen next to the Wi-Fi/3G status
indicator, and the Deregistration and Reset Device options will be disabled.
Screen Light: Lets you manage the Nightlight setting.
Nightlight: Enable this setting to gradually reduce the screen brightness
over time as your eyes adjust while reading or using your Kindle in the
dark. To use this feature, Auto Brightness must also be turned on. Tap the
screen light button on the toolbar to access the Auto Brightness setting.
Personalize your Kindle: Lets you manage your device name, add personal and
contact information, set device time, manage recommended content, and view your
Send-to-Kindle Email address.
