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).

information
The Wireless LED lights up
when wireless communication
is turned on.
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.
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 congure the Internet settings for your Nintendo 3DS system
(see page 279).
• 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 296).
• 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 237 for more information on battery endurance.
The Wireless LED illuminates when
wireless communication is activated.
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 242).
A message will appear on your notication list
(see page 256 for more information on the Notica-
tions application and receiving messges).

Basic Operations
Charging the Battery Pack
Charging the Battery Pack
Battery recharge time is approximately 3 1/2 hours
It 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 5-35º Celsius (40º and 95º Fahrenheit)
Ambient temperature above or below these temperatures may permanently decrease the life of the battery pack
and adversely aect 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.
If usage time gets very short, replace the battery pack
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 o noticeably, replace the
battery (see page 306.)

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.
The Nintendo 3DS system uses binocular parallax (the fact that your left and
right eyes are located a short distance
Basic Operations
apart, causing them to see dierent
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
Viewing and Adjusting the 3D Image
with the system held vertically, will not produce a 3D eect. Viewing
it this way could cause you to see double images overlapped or cause
the screen to appear black.
Image for left eye Image for right eye

Adjusting the depth of the 3D images
You can use the 3D depth slider to adjust the apparent depth when viewing 3D images. If it is dicult 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.
3D depth slider
Move the 3D depth slider down to its lowest position
to switch to 2D (at) display.
• 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 eect.
• It may be dicult to see the 3D eect in locations with strong direct light, such as sunlight.

A note about viewing 3D images
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 diculty seeing the 3D eect, turn the 3D
eect 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 278 for more information.
Be sure to read the Health and Safety information regarding 3D images at the beginning of this manual (see

Types of notications
SpotPass Notications These contain data or information from Nintendo or from the software you are
using, and will vary depending on the game you are playing.
NOTE: The system cannot receive notications from Nintendo DS or
Nintendo DSi software.
Using Software
StreetPass Notications These contain information received via the StreetPass feature.
To receive notications
Follow these steps to allow your Nintendo 3DS system to receive notications:
• Turn the system on. (The system will also receive notications in Sleep Mode.)
• Turn wireless communication on by pushing the Wireless switch towards the top of the Nintendo
3DS. The Wireless LED will light.
• Congure the Internet connection settings. (Within a Nintendo Zone service area, the system can
receive notications even without its Internet settings congured. Also, the system can receive
StreetPass notications without connecting to the Internet.)
NOTE: Notications sent to you by software may be sent directly without requiring an Internet
connection.

notication list.
• Unread notications will show for StreetPass notications or for SpotPass notications.
• Up to 12 StreetPass notications and up to 100 other notications can be saved on the system. If you receive more
notications than that, or if the storage limit is exceeded (such as when there are many notications saved with image
attachments), notications are deleted starting with the oldest notications rst. NOTE: Notications sent to you by
software may be sent directly without requiring an Internet connection.
To stop notication delivery
Tap Opt out of all notications for this software inside the message and
follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE: Notications that do not require an Internet connection, such as those
from software titles, cannot be stopped from the notication list. These are
delivered during game play and can be stopped from within the software.
The method for stopping these notications may vary depending on the
software title.
Stopping StreetPass notications
Tap Opt out of notications for this software and also deactivate StreetPass from StreetPass Management in
the System Settings (see page 294). If you deactivate StreetPass, these notications will no longer reach you.
To resume delivery of notications, adjust the software settings. For details, see the instruction booklet for the game
you are playing.
You cannot stop delivery of notications from Nintendo. (SpotPass notications from Nintendo may
contain important consumer information.)

How many photos can you save?
The remaining number of photos you can save is displayed on the
upper screen. This is the approximate number of photos you can save
in the current save location (System Memory or an SD Card), but it’s
only an estimate.
Data size can vary depending on the photo, so it’s possible that taking
one photo may reduce the number of remaining photos by two or not
reduce the number at all.
NOTE: A maximum of 3,000 photos can be saved to an SD Card.
About photo data
• 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.
• Photo data is saved to the “DCIM” folder on the SD Card.
How far away should your subject be?
Using Software
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.

Warning about Mii proles
If you send a Mii character to another Nintendo 3DS system, the Mii character’s name and prole will be sent with it.
Therefore, take care not to use oensive words or any personally identiable information in the nickname or prole of
your Mii. Someone who receives your Mii can edit it or send it on to others, and you cannot remotely delete Mii characters
sent to other people using your Nintendo 3DS system.
If you use oensive words in the name or prole, it’s possible they will be displayed as “???” on another person’s Nintendo

Video and Computer Game Software Rating
Information
The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings are designed to provide information about video and computer game
content, so you can make informed purchasing decisions. ESRB ratings have two parts: rating symbols suggest age appropriateness for the game, and content descriptors indicate elements in a game that may have triggered a particular rating and/or may be
of interest or concern.
To take full advantage of the ESRB rating system, it’s important to check both the rating symbol (found on the front of the game
box) and the content descriptor (found on the back of the game box). Go to www.esrb.org for a complete list of these content
descriptors.
The ESRB rating system is designed to provide information about a computer or video game. The ratings are not meant to recommend which games consumers should buy or rent or to serve as the only basis for choosing a product. Rather, individuals should
use the ESRB ratings together with personal tastes and standards when deciding what is best to purchase.
For more information on the ESRB and its video game ratings, go to the ESRB web site at w ww.esrb.org. For Nintendo 3DS packaged games, the Brazilian game rating issued by the Departamento de Justiça, Classicação, Título e Qualicação (DJCTQ) will also
be provided. For more information on the DJCTQ and its video game ratings, please visit www.mj.gov.br/classicacao.
