The system can also do this while playing a game or in Sleep Mode (power is on, but the system is closed).To connect to a wireless LAN access point, you will need to congure the Internet settings for your Nintendo 3DS system (see page 63).• Within the service area of a Nintendo Zone or other wireless services, you can connect to the Internet without congur-ing your Internet settings.• System updates may unlock the ability to receive more types of data via SpotPass, depending on the game you are playing. It is recommended that you perform system updates to keep your Nintendo 3DS system current with the latest features (see page 80).• If you turn wireless communication o with the wireless switch, the system will not be able to use the communication features.Keeping your system charged.Your system includes a charging cradle to make charging easy. When not in use, you can put the Nintendo 3DS system in Sleep Mode and keep it in the charging cradle, so it stays fully charged and can still communicate using the SpotPass feature.See page 21 for more information on battery endurance.The StreetPass feature allows the Nintendo 3DS system to automatically search for and communi-cate with other Nintendo 3DS systems and to exchange information with them as you walk by.If you are playing a game, or if the system is in Sleep Mode (turned on but closed) and you pass someone who has enabled StreetPass for the same software, you will exchange data with them. (If you don’t want to allow data exchange, you can disable wireless communication.)If StreetPass is successful...StreetPass settings for Nintendo 3DS software are saved on the system. The data you transmit with StreetPass varies depending on the software using this feature. Each software program has its own StreetPass settings.• Up to 12 Nintendo 3DS software titles can use StreetPass simultaneously.• With Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi software, you must start the software rst, and then put it in tag mode (the name for this mode may vary depending on the game you are playing).• If you turn the power o or disable wireless communication, the system cannot communicate.• StreetPass does not work if you are connected to the Internet, or are using local communication, depending on the software you are using (see page 26).

Do not use the Nintendo 3DS AC adapter or charging cradle during a lightning storm. There may be a risk of electric shock from lightning.IMPORTANT: The Nintendo 3DS AC adapter, Model No. WAP-002(USA), is for use only with the Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo DSi, and Nintendo DSi XL portable video game systems. It is not compatible with any other Nintendo system. Do not use the AC adapter with voltage transformers, dimmer switches, or any other equipment. It is only for use in a standard 120-volt AC wall outlet. Battery informationBattery recharge time is approximately 3 1/2 hoursIt takes about 3 1/2 hours to charge the battery pack with the power o, although this will vary depending on the remaining charge when you begin to recharge the battery. You can use the system while the battery is charging, but this will increase the recharging time.Optimal charging temperature is between 40º and 95º Fahrenheit (5-35º Celsius)Ambient temperature above or below these temperatures may permanently decrease the life of the battery pack and adversely aect the ability of the battery to charge.The battery pack can be recharged approximately 500 timesBattery life will decrease over time. After 500 recharges, battery life may be only 70% of the battery life when new.If usage time gets very short, replace the battery packBattery packs become worn with repeated charge/discharge cycles, and the amount of time they can be used when fully charged will decrease gradually over time. If you feel the usage time has dropped o noticeably, replace the battery (see page 90.)Charging the Battery Pack Battery charging procedure using the charging cradleInsert the DC plug from the AC adapter into the AC adapter connector on the back of the Nintendo 3DS charging cradle. Be sure to insert it straight into the connector.IMPORTANT: Be sure the DC connector plug is facing in the correct direction before inserting into the connector to avoid damaging either the plug or connector.Place the Nintendo 3DS system on top of the charging cradle. It will click into place.Swing the prongs out of the AC adapter and insert into a standard 120-volt AC wall outlet . The recharge LED will light, indicating the system is charging.

They will vary depending on factors such as the software being played, the amount of data received by wireless communication, and the ambient temperature. Using the camera features may also reduce the battery endurance times shown below.The screen brightness setting aects the battery endurance time. The factory setting is 5 – for more information on adjusting screen bright-ness, see page 29.NOTE: Power-saving mode will increase the battery endurance by automatically adjusting the screen brightness and color based on what is being displayed at the time. For more information on power-saving mode, see page 29.• If you put the system in Sleep Mode when not using it, you can reduce power consumption while still being able to send and receive information from StreetPass and SpotPass via the wireless communication features. If the system is fully charged and put into Sleep Mode, the system's battery endurance time in Sleep Mode is roughly 3 days.• The power LED slowly brightens and darkens while the system is in Sleep Mode. NOTE: Depending on the software you are using, sometimes closing the system will not cause the system to enter Sleep Mode. In these cases the power LED will remain steadily lit.

Basic Operations22Basic Operations2310”–14”25cm–35cm3D depth adjustmentGreater depthLess depth Viewing and Adjusting the 3D Image Viewing and Adjusting the 3D ImageThe upper 3D screen allows you to view stereoscopic 3D images. You can adjust the apparent depth of these images with the 3D depth slider.The Nintendo 3DS system uses binocu-lar parallax (the fact that your left and right eyes are located a short distance apart, causing them to see dierent images) to produce 3D images with a feeling of depth.If you view the 3D screen from the correct distance, it displays an image for your left eye in such a way that only your left eye can see it, and an image for your right eye in such a way that only your right eye can see it. Binocular parallax then allows you to see 3D depth in the image.Viewing the 3D screen from a diagonal or tilted position, or viewing it with the system held vertically, will not produce a 3D eect. Viewing it this way could cause you to see double images overlapped or cause the screen to appear black. To view the best-quality 3D imagesViewing and Adjusting the 3D Image Adjusting the depth of the 3D imagesYou can use the 3D depth slider to adjust the apparent depth when viewing 3D images. If it is dicult to view the image with the 3D slider moved up to the maximum (with the depth set as deep as it will go), try moving the slider to the minimum and then increasing it in small steps until you nd a level where it is easy for you to view the 3D images. Once your eyes are accustomed to 3D images, you may be able to achieve the best-quality image by moving the 3D slider up.• If the 3D LED is not lit, moving the 3D slider toward “3D” will not produce a 3D image.• Some software switches between 2D and 3D imagery. With this software, moving the 3D slider does not change the 3D eect.• It may be dicult to see the 3D eect in locations with strong direct light, such as sunlight.A note about viewing 3D imagesIMPORTANT: The ability to view 3D images may vary from person to person, depending on physical condition, content of images, and the environment you are viewing them in. A small percentage of people may not be able to see 3D images at all. If you see double images or have diculty seeing the 3D eect, turn the 3D eect o with the 3D depth slider and refrain from using it. The 3D feature can also be turned o with Parental Controls in System Settings - see page 62 for more information.Be sure to read the Health and Safety information regarding 3D images at the beginning of this manual (see page 8).NOTE: You can use Parental Controls to restrict the display of 3D images (see page 74).Image for left eye Image for right eye3D image1 View the screen from directly in front 2 Hold the screen 10 to 14 inches (25–35 centimeters) from your eyes Adjust the distance for the easiest viewing of 3D images.3D LED Lights up when 3D images are supported by the software you are using.3D depth sliderMove the 3D depth slider down to its lowest position to switch to 2D (at) display.
