Wi-Fi Networks: The number of detected Wi-Fi networks and the name of the Wi-Fi
network you are currently connected to, if any.

address. Your document will also be added to your Archived Items. To learn more, go to
www.kindle.com/support.
Device Password: Allows you to restrict access to your Kindle by setting a password.
You will subsequently be prompted to enter the password whenever you turn on the
device or wake it from sleep. If you forget your password, try looking at the hint you
entered when you created it. If you still do not remember your password, you must contact
Kindle Customer Service.
Parental Controls: Lets you restrict access to the experimental web browser, Kindle
Store, and Archived Items. Parents may use this feature to prevent children from
purchasing content without their permission or from browsing any inappropriate online
content. You will be prompted to enter a password when you restrict access to one of
these areas. Note that this password will be required to make changes to settings within
Parental Controls. When Parental Controls are enabled you will see a lock icon at the top
of the screen next to the Wi-Fi status indicator. Deregistration and Reset to Factory
Defaults settings will be disabled.
Device Time: Allows you to set the current local time to be displayed on your Kindle.
Pressing the Menu button from any Kindle screen will display the time at the top of the
screen.
