• Be sure to charge the battery before using it for the first time or when it has not been used in the last 6 months.

Battery recharge time is approximately 3 hours, although this will vary depending on the remaining charge when you begin to recharge the battery. You can play games while the battery is charging, but this will increase the recharge time.

When fully charged, the battery will last from 13-17 hours on the lowest screen brightness setting, depending on the type of game activity. See page 15 for information on adjusting the screen brightness. On the brightest setting, the battery life is 4-5 hours. See the table below.

Using the wireless communications or camera features may reduce the battery time to less than the figures shown to the right.

NOTE: The default system setting is configured to the "High" setting.

Highest	Approx. 4-5 hours
High	Approx. 6-8 hours
Medium	Approx. 9-11 hours
Low	Approx. 11-14 hours
Lowest	Approx. 13-17 hours

The battery can be recharged approximately 500 times, but performance may decrease after repeated recharges, depending on usage conditions such as temperature. Optimal charging temperature is between 41^ and 95^ Fahrenheit (5 - 35^ Celsius). Battery life may also decrease over time. After 500 recharges, battery life may be only 70% of the battery life when new.

Charging the battery

IMPORTANT: The Nintendo DSi AC Adapter, Model No. WAP-002(USA), is for use only with the 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.

1. Insert the DC plug from the AC Adapter into the system's AC Adapter connector on the back of the Nintendo DSi XL. 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.

1. Swing the prongs out of the AC Adapter and insert into a standard 120-volt AC wall outlet.

The AC Adapter should be correctly oriented in a vertical or floor mounted-position. The cord should always face downward.

1. When fully charged, the recharge indicator LED will go out.

• If the recharge indicator LED is not lit, make sure the AC Adapter is connected properly to both the system and the outlet.
• If the recharge indicator LED is blinking, there is a chance that the battery pack is not installed correctly. Check to make sure installation is correct (see page 17).

NOTE: If you play a game while the system is recharging, the recharge indicator LED may not always turn off once charging has completed. This is not a malfunction.

1. Remove the AC Adapter from the wall outlet and fold the prongs back into the housing. Remove the DC plug from the AC Adapter connector.

IMPORTANT: When disconnecting any plugs from the Nintendo DSi XL or wall outlet, carefully pull by the plug itself rather than by the cord.

Follow the cleaning procedures below. If it still does not work after cleaning, visit support.nintendo.com for information on repair service.

Screen Cleaning Procedure

If the screens on your Nintendo DSi XL 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.

Calibrating the Touch Screen

You can adjust the Touch Screen if it doesn't seem to respond properly or if the Touch Screen is not responding to the same place you're touching it.

• If the Touch Screen is not responding properly, first try removing any screen protectors (sold separately) that you may have added to your Nintendo DSi XL.

• Select System Settings from the Nintendo DSi Menu.

• Select screen number 3 by tapping the #3 box at the top of the screen or by tapping the arrow on the right side of the screen until you see the screen with the Touch Screen option.
• Select the Touch Screen option and follow the on-screen instructions.

If you're still unable to operate the Touch Screen properly...

Try starting up your Nintendo DSi XL at the Touch Screen Calibration screen by following the procedure below.

1. While holding down the L Button, R Button and START...

1. Press POWER. (Hold down the L, R, and START Buttons until the Calibration screen appears.)

1. Follow the on-screen instructions and then turn the power off. Turn the system on again to check the operation of the Touch Screen.

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 video game ratings, go to the ESRB web site at www.esrb.org.

Web beacons are invisible to you because they are typically very small (only 1-by-1 pixel) and the same color as the background of the Web page, document or email message. We may use Web beacons to collect anonymous information such as the Nintendo DSi IP address, MAC address, the URL of the page the Web user comes from, and the time the Web beacon is activated (such as when you view the Web page, advertisement, or email containing the Web beacon). We do not use Web beacons to collect Personal Information. We may use the anonymous information collected through Web beacons to determine how to improve the Nintendo DSi applications by seeing which areas, features, and products are most popular; personalizing the Nintendo DSi services and making recommendations based on downloaded products; and completing transactions you have requested. In the event you visit a third party's Web site through the Internet browser on the Nintendo DSi, or you choose to view an ad from a third party, such as those made available at Nintendo Zone stations, those Web sites or ads may also contain tools such as cookies and Web beacons which may be accessible to such third party.

Cookies: Certain online Nintendo DSi applications may use cookies, which are small text files that a Web site places on your Nintendo DSi. These files identify your Nintendo DSi and record data about your visit so that when you return to a Web site, the site recognizes your Nintendo DSi and can personalize your visit. Cookies may be linked to your transaction history, online game play or other information. We may use information collected by cookies, as well as other tools such as log files and Web beacons, to determine how to improve the Nintendo DSi applications by seeing which areas, features, and products are most popular; personalizing the Nintendo DSi services and making recommendations based on downloaded products; and completing transactions you have requested.

In the event you visit a third party's Web site through the Internet browser on the Nintendo DSi, or you choose to view an ad from a third party, such as those made available at Nintendo Zone stations, those Web sites or ads may also contain tools such as cookies and Web beacons.

Other: In order to constantly improve the products and services we provide and better meet your needs, we may also use your Personal Information as well as anonymous or aggregate information for our marketing purposes, demographic studies, and quality assurance. In some cases, we may add to or update your Personal Information with data collected from offline sources (e.g., mail-in registration cards or date of purchase information from retailers). If we combine information collected offline with information collected through the Nintendo DSi, the combined Personal Information will be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

We do not sell or rent any of our customers' Personal Information to third parties. We may, however, share Personal, aggregate or anonymous information with our vendors to help us perform various functions necessary to operate our business (for example, completing downloads or purchases, developing and executing marketing campaigns, etc.) and with our affiliated companies. We also may disclose your email address to our partners for the sole purpose of sending you email messages you have requested, or to ensure that you do not receive such messages if you have opted out of receiving them. These partners are prohibited from using your email address for any other purpose. We may disclose Personal Information in order to comply with legal process, respond to claims or inquiries, or protect the rights, property or personal safety of Nintendo, our customers or the public. In addition, information about our customers, including Personal Information, may be disclosed as part of any merger, sale, transfer of company assets, or acquisition, if permitted by and done in accordance with applicable laws.

LINKING ACCOUNTS

You may link your Nintendo DSi Shop Account to your Club Nintendo account to receive personalized content and participate in a variety of activities, promotions and programs. Once you have linked your Club Nintendo account to your DSi Shop Account, any Personal Information you enter on your Club Nintendo account will be linked to your DSi Shop Account.

NINTENDO DSI GAMES

Certain Nintendo DSi games and features give you the opportunity to create a nickname, create a user name and interact with other Nintendo DSi users. We strongly encourage you not to use your own name for any nicknames or user names you may create. In addition, we strongly encourage you not to share Personal Information about yourself and not to allow your children to share Personal Information about themselves with other Nintendo DSi users.

For certain Nintendo DSi applications, including some Nintendo DSi games, your Nintendo DSi Friends may have access to information such as whether you have downloaded or are using a particular Nintendo DSi game.

INFORMATION STORED ON YOUR NINTENDO DSI

Certain sensitive or Personal Information about you may be stored on your Nintendo DSi. For your protection, before selling or otherwise transferring your Nintendo DSi, please be sure to clean and securely remove all Personal Information, any content you created, and all other stored sensitive information on the Nintendo DSi. For instructions on how to remove this information, please see the Internet Setup section of your Nintendo DSi Operations Manual.

SECURITY

We have established reasonable safeguards to secure sensitive and Personal Information collected directly by us in an effort to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of the Personal Information submitted or collected from your Nintendo DSI. We also have implemented reasonable security measures in an effort to protect information under our control against loss, misuse or alteration. Personal Information is stored in firewall-protected servers. Nintendo will notify users of a data breach involving unencrypted Personal Information by email or by posting a notice on our website. We also work hard to limit access to Personal Information to those employees performing a legitimate business function. If you contact us concerning your Nintendo DSI Shop account, we will verify your identity before discussing your account. While we strive to safeguard your sensitive and Personal Information, no data storage system or transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Please note that information collected from and provided by you to other persons or entities may not have the same security protections as information you submit to us, and you are responsible for protecting the security of any such information. If you install unauthorized applications or content to your Nintendo DSI, your sensitive or Personal Information may be collected or compromised. Nintendo is not responsible for any data collection, use or disclosure resulting from the use or installation of unauthorized applications or content.

UPDATING YOUR INFORMATION OR OPTING OUT OF INFORMATION COLLECTION

Use of the Nintendo DSi does not require disclosure of Personal Information. If you have provided Personal Information to us, you can update your preferences or opt-out of further collection as follows. In order to completely opt-out from the collection of any information about you relating to the Nintendo DSi, both anonymous and Personal, you must disable your Nintendo WFC. If you have linked your Club Nintendo account to your Nintendo DSi Shop Account or other Nintendo DSi online applications, (collectively "Features"), you must unlink those Features from your Club Nintendo account in order to stop the collection of information about you. You may do so in the Settings section of the Nintendo DSi Shop. You may update any Personal Information you have submitted to Nintendo through the Nintendo DSi by going to club.nintendocom and logging in to your Club Nintendo account.
