wireless signal. The icon has four modes depending on the signal strength:

WEAKER STRONGER

For optimal communication, keep the signal strength at 2 or 3 by moving
closer to the USB connector if necessary.

Follow these guidelines to maintain a strong signal:

• Keep the maximum distance between systems and the USB connector at
 30 feet (10 meters) or less.

• Reorienting the DS systems to the USB connector may boost the signal.

• Avoid having people or other obstructions between the DS systems and
 the USB connector.

•

Avoid interference from other devices. If communication
 affected by other devices (wireless LAN, microwave ovens, cordless
 devices, computers), move to another location if possible or turn off the
 interfering device.
