Yeah, it's a little hidden there in the settings page.

The menu item being grayed out means that the .bin file (assuming it's in the top level of the Kindle and not in a sub-directory) isn't the correct one for your Kindle type (US or int'l, K2 or DX) or OS version. If you bought it new recently, then you'll want the hack for the international Kindle since they don't sell the old US-only ones anymore even in the US. That's confused more than a few people already.
