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 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

- 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 desired network. If you see a lock symbol beside the network’s name, it is a secure network; you’ll need to enter a password to connect to that network. If you do not know the network password, ask the network administrator for help. If you have problems connecting, visit NOOK.com/support for more troubleshooting tips.
4. 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.
