KINDLE USER’S GUIDE 4

th

 EDITION

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.
