4. Charging the Kindle
    Charge the Kindle before first use. To charge the Kindle, use the power adapter shipped with the Kindle. This power adapter is made to automatically switch from 120V (US standard) to 220V (European standard) and can be used worldwide. A plug adapter is required to connect the Kindle's US power adapter to a non-US outlet.
    Alternatively, you can charge the Kindle using a PC via the Kindle's micro USB cable.
    The Kindle will take about six hours to charge completely. When the device is completely charged, the light next to the micro USB socket turns from amber to green. It is important to turn wireless off when not in use to conserve power and get the longest possible life from the battery.
