About charging
The system takes approximately 3 hours 30 minutes to fully recharge when o. Charging time may vary if the system is being used while charging,
•
or depending on the level of charge remaining in the battery.
Charge the system in an environment of 5 – 35°C. Attempting to charge the battery while the ambient temperature is outside this range may degrade
•
the battery and prevent it from charging. If the ambient temperature is low, the battery may not charge completely.
Battery life decreases slightly over time as the battery is continually used and recharged. After 500 recharges, battery life may be reduced to 70% of
•
the battery life at the time of purchase.
Make sure to charge the battery at least once every six months. Lithium-ion batteries can slowly lose their charge over time if they have not been
•
used for a while. If the system is not used for an extended period of time, the battery may become overdischarged and may be impossible to charge
when connecting the AC adapter.
If you feel the usage time has noticeably reduced, replace the battery ( p. 57). Replacement batteries are sold separately. Please contact Nintendo
•
Customer Support for further information on where to purchase a replacement (

Power LED
The power LED lights up blue when the system is turned on, turns red when the battery charge is low and ashes red when the battery is starting
to run out.
Adjusting 3D Images
The 3D Screen allows you to view 3D images. Use the 3D depth slider to adjust the 3D eects
to a comfortable level.

Note: If the power LED is red, save your game quickly and recharge. If the battery charge runs out before you save, you may lose unsaved data. If the LED
is blue and slowly brightens and dims, the system is in Sleep Mode (

Battery Life
Battery life will vary depending on a number of factors, such as the software being used, the quantity of wireless data sent and received and the
ambient temperature. As such, these times should only be taken as rough estimates.

Dark Light
Leaving the system in Sleep Mode ( p. 17) greatly reduces power consumption while leaving wireless communication such as SpotPass and
StreetPass active. If the battery is fully charged, the system can remain in Sleep Mode for 3 days.
Note: The power LED slowly pulses when the system is in Sleep Mode. Some software titles do not allow the system to enter Sleep Mode while in use.
Closing the system while using such software will result in the power LED remaining solidly lit. For example, Nintendo 3DS Sound cannot enter Sleep Mode
during playback.
Screen
brightness
The battery life will change depending on the brightness of the LCD screens.
Note: Activating the Auto-Brightness function changes the brightness and colour
gradient automatically according to the light level of the surrounding environment.
Therefore, playing in less brightly-lit areas will extend battery life. Activating the
power-saving mode also extends the battery life (
p. 28).
The 3D eects generated by this system are
created using the binocular disparity of the
eyes (the ability to interpret 3D images due to
the dierence in position of the left and right
eye). By manipulating the 3D Screen so that
the left eye sees only the left image and the
right eye only sees the right image, vivid and
convincing 3D eects can be produced.

How to View 3D Images Properly
Follow the steps below to ensure that 3D images appear properly.
Look directly into the 3D Screen.

Super-Stable 3D
This function is a feature of New Nintendo 3DS / New Nintendo 3DS XL that allows you to move your head or the system during play without
losing image quality, bringing you a more comfortable 3D viewing experience. It works by tracking the position of your face using the inner
camera in order to adjust the 3D image display. (See
how to activate/deactivate super-stable 3D, please see
Note:
If you view the system either at an extreme angle, outside the inner camera’s eld of vision, or side-on, then you will see double images or a dark

Adjusting the Strength of 3D Images
Use the 3D depth slider next to the 3D Screen to increase or decrease the 3D eect. If placing the 3D depth slider at the top (strongest 3D eect)
makes the 3D images dicult to see, move it downwards little by little until you reach a point where the 3D images are distinct and easy to see.
As you become more accustomed to the 3D feature, you may nd that raising the 3D depth slider results in better eects.

Exchanging Cover Plates
Swap New Nintendo 3DS cover plates (sold separately).
Please make sure the cover plates are attached to the system when you start it for the rst time.
If the system is used by a young child, a parent or legal guardian should exchange cover plates for
them.
Note: Please make sure the system is switched o and unplugged from the AC adapter.
Loosen the screws on the back plate
1
Loosen the two screws securing the back plate for 4 or 5 rotations using a cross-head
screwdriver.
To prevent the screws from being lost, each back plate is tted with a pair of special
screws that do not rise up when loosened, and stay inside the plate when it is removed.
How to avoid damaging the screws
Use a cross-head screwdriver that ts perfectly in the screw head.
