The Pandigital Novel e-reader's short setup process must be completed in order to start using the device. When you set up the e-reader, you create a Wi-Fi connection, enter email information and load previously purchased electronic books from Barnes & Noble. A Barnes & Noble online account is needed to complete the setup process.

Plug the small, round end of the supplied AC adapter into the DC jack on the right side of the Pandigital Novel and plug the other end of the adapter cable into a wall outlet to charge the device before use.
