NOTE: To use this feature, you must connect to the Internet and perform a system update. See page 63 for more information
on setting up a wireless broadband Internet connection. See page 80 for more information on how to do a system update.
SpotPass™
StreetPass™
The SpotPass feature allows the Nintendo 3DS system to automatically communicate with a nearby
wireless LAN access point, enabling it to connect to the Internet and transmit a variety of data. The
system can also do this while playing a game or in Sleep Mode (power is on, but the system is closed).
3D photos
Notifications
The StreetPass feature allows the Nintendo 3DS system to automatically search for and communicate with other Nintendo 3DS systems and to exchange information with them as you walk by.
System
updates
Free
software
Other
information
The Wireless LED lights up
when wireless communication
is turned on.
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...
To connect to a wireless LAN access point, you will need to configure 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 configuring 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 off 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 Wireless LED illuminates when
wireless communication is activated.
A message will appear on your notification list
(see page 40 for more information on the Notifications application and receiving messges).
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 first, 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 off 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).

when not in use.
13. When using an AC adapter, make sure you are using the correct model appropriate for your Nintendo 3DS system. Always
unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet when not in use.
14. Do not use the AC adapter if the cable or plug is damaged.

IMPORTANT: If the Touch Screen becomes dirty or contaminated with foreign material, do not continue to use your
Nintendo 3DS system. It may not work properly and can become more damaged. Follow the cleaning procedures
below. If it still does not work after cleaning, visit support.nintendo.com for information on repair services.
If the screens on your Nintendo 3DS system have visible smudges, fingerprints, or other foreign material on them, you can clean
them by using a soft clean cloth, such as a lens or eyeglass cleaning cloth.
1. Slightly dampen the cloth with water ONLY and wipe off the screens to loosen any dirt or foreign material.
2. Using a dry cloth, wipe the screens to dry them and finish the cleaning process. If needed, repeat the process.
15. The AC adapter is intended to be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mounted position.

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.
Swing prongs out
Optimal charging temperature is between 40º and 95º Fahrenheit (5-35º Celsius)
３
Ambient temperature above or below these temperatures may permanently decrease the life of the battery pack
and adversely affect the ability of the battery to charge.
The battery pack can be recharged approximately 500 times
Battery life will decrease over time. After 500 recharges, battery life may be only 70% of the battery life when new.

Recharge LED
will light up
If usage time gets very short, replace the battery pack
When charging is complete, remove the AC adapter from the wall outlet and fold the prongs back
into the housing. Remove the Nintendo 3DS from the charging cradle, pulling the back edge out first.
Battery 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 off noticeably, replace the
battery (see page 90.)
IMPORTANT: When disconnecting any plugs from the Nintendo 3DS, charging cradle, or
wall outlet, carefully pull by the plug itself rather than by the cord.
Battery charging by connecting directly to the AC adapter...
You can also charge the battery pack by plugging the AC adapter directly into the AC
adapter connector on the back of the Nintendo 3DS system.
NOTE: If you play a game while the system is recharging, the recharge LED may not
always turn off once charging has completed.

Viewing and Adjusting the 3D Image
The Nintendo 3DS system uses binocular parallax (the fact that your left and
right eyes are located a short distance
apart, causing them to see different
images) to produce 3D images with a
feeling of depth.
Image for left eye
3D image
Image for right eye
You can use the 3D depth slider to adjust the apparent depth when viewing 3D images. If it is difficult 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 find 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.
3D LED
3D depth slider
Lights up when 3D images are supported by the software
you are using.
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 and Adjusting the 3D Image
Viewing and Adjusting the 3D Image
The upper 3D screen allows you to view stereoscopic 3D images. You can adjust the apparent depth of
these images with the 3D depth slider.
Basic Operations
Basic Operations
Adjusting the depth of the 3D images
3D depth
adjustment
Less depth
Move the 3D depth slider down to its lowest position
to switch to 2D (flat) display.
Viewing the 3D screen from a diagonal or tilted position, or viewing it
with the system held vertically, will not produce a 3D effect. Viewing
it this way could cause you to see double images overlapped or cause
the screen to appear black.
• 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 effect.
• It may be difficult to see the 3D effect in locations with strong direct light, such as sunlight.
A note about viewing 3D images
To view the best-quality 3D images
1 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.
10”–14”
25cm–35cm
22
IMPORTANT: 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 difficulty seeing the 3D effect, turn the 3D
effect off with the 3D depth slider and refrain from using it. The 3D feature can also be turned off 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).

How far away should your subject be?
Using Software
Using Software
• When you take photos with the outer cameras, both 3D photo data (saved as MPO format), and left-eye photo data
(saved as JPEG format) are created. When you take a photo with the inner camera, photo data is saved in JPEG format.
When taking photos, it’s best to be at least 12 inches away from your subject. If you take a photo of something too close,
the photo may turn out blurry, similar to when you try to look at something too close to your face.
Nintendo 3DS Camera
Taking photos of
objects less than 12”
(30cm) away may result
in blurry photos or
double images.
For best results, your
subject should be more
than 12” (30cm) away.
39” (1m)
The ideal range for your
subject for the best
