Also if battery ran flat, it takes about a day to reset the time and date via the 3G. Until then it won't access any Internet or register or sync, except oddly the Amazon store browsing works.
If there is no Store front then there is no 3G. It may also work on 2G Edge in some countries, which is also used for water meters, electricity meters etc and thus won't be turned off soon, but it also varies by carrier in some countries and I don't know how Amazon arranges that.
Follow instructions here on PC carefully (works with Linux, so likely works with Mac too if mac sees the Kindle).

Note, B009 is usually a DXG and the B004 & B005 the DX before KK3 came out. The KK3, though technically earlier than the DXG, has more RAM so can update to a FW that has more fonts and KF8 support.
The DX and DXG have poor font support and only do mobi/KF7. They were obsolete in language and font support even when new as were all earlier kindles.
