BOTTOM VIEW
The bottom of your Kindle contains the charge indicator light and a micro-USB port.
Micro-USB/power port — attach the USB cord that came with your Kindle into the
micro-USB/power port and into the Kindle power adapter*. Plug the adapter into
a U.S.-compatible electrical outlet to charge the Kindle battery. You can also charge
your Kindle by detaching the USB cord from the power adapter and connecting
it to a computer’s USB port or powered USB hub. The charging status light will turn
yellow, indicating that the battery is charging; you can continue to use your Kindle
while it charges. A green light indicates that the battery is fully charged.
Check to make sure the power adapter is not covered by anything that could cause
it to overheat. If the charge indicator light does not light up, make sure that the USB
cable is fully inserted into your Kindle and the power adapter or USB port. If Kindle
still is not charging, try another electrical outlet or USB port.
To transfer content between your computer and your Kindle, connect the provided
USB cable to the Kindle and to the computer’s USB port.
* Not all configurations ship with a power adapter.
