This guide provides an overview of Kindle and highlights a few basic features so you can start reading as quickly as possible. To turn to the next page, press and release one of the Next Page buttons on either side of the display. Congratulations! You are reading your first Kindle book. If you haven't done so already, please follow the instructions on the Start Kindling sticker that was attached to your Kindle display and plug in your Kindle to charge the battery. The charge indicator light will illuminate on the bottom edge of your Kindle and a lightning bolt will appear on the battery icon at the bottom of the display. [. . . ] Kindle provides a standard set of controls which are explained below. Beginning -- takes you back to the beginning of the audiobook. Previous Section -- moves backwards in the audiobook to the previous section. Pause/Play -- pauses or plays the audiobook (there is no Stop control). Next Section -- moves ahead to the next section in the audiobook, which is usually the next chapter. Location -- indicates how far you have come in the audiobook, the elapsed time, and the section you are in. From the menu, you can select Home to return to the Home screen or Kindle Store to go to the Kindle Storefront. Playing Background Music To play background music (MP3 files) that you have transferred to your Kindle, follow the steps below: 1. Select "Play Music" on the screen shown. To turn off background music playback, select "Stop Music" from the "Experimental" screen or the Experimental or Home menu while music is playing. You can also play or stop background music playback by holding down the ALT key and pressing the P key or you can forward to the next track by pressing the ALT key and pressing the F key. When you play background music, it plays until you select "Stop Music" from the menu, until all of the files have been played, or until you open an audiobook. The song order automatically shuffles among all the MP3 files you have in the "music" folder in your Kindle or an inserted SD memory card. You can adjust the volume of the music using the physical buttons at the bottom of your Kindle. *** CHAPTER 4 Searching on Kindle Kindle allows you to take advantage of powerful search capabilities. You can search locally on Kindle or remotely at the Kindle Store, Wikipedia, or the Web. 4. 1 Introduction to Search This section describes the types of searches that you can perform using Kindle and the on-screen features that make searching possible. There is also a list of steps to help you begin your search. Types of Searches Kindle supports several types of search and, depending on what you are trying to find, one of the types summarized below should be appropriate for your needs. Searching Locally By default, Kindle searches all the reading material that you have stored on Kindle first. This includes occurrences of the search term in the body of the text, in the metadata (for example, the title or author), and in your "My Clippings" file. This search includes all types of content including books, newspapers, magazines, and other items stored on your Kindle. Additionally, Kindle also keeps and searches the metadata for all the items you have stored on Your Media Library. Searching for Definitions Kindle searches your default dictionary for definitions of the word you have entered. An example of this type of search is provided in the next section. Searching Remotely Kindle can perform remote searches in several different locations using Whispernet. Each of these remote location searches are described in the final section of this chapter. See Searching Wikipedia, or Searching the Web, or Searching the Kindle Store. Searching for Answers Kindle provides another type of search that is not related to the search types described above. Kindle NowNow allows you to search for answers to your questions that real people provide. This service is described in more detail in Ask Kindle NowNow. Performing a Search To perform a search, you first press the Search key to display the Search line shown below. The Search line provides a text area for you to enter your search criteria. You can enter up to 255 characters. [. . . ] The exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. [. . . ]
