A message will appear on your notication list (see page 42 for more information on the Notica-tions application and receiving messages).4 5SpotPass™ 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).NOTE: Data received via SpotPass is saved on the SD Memory Card.The StreetPass feature allows the Nintendo 3DS system to automatically search for and communi-cate with other Nintendo 3DS systems and to exchange information with them as you walk by.If the system is in Sleep Mode (turned on but closed) or certain other modes, and you pass someone who has enabled StreetPass for the same software, you will exchange game data with them. (If you don’t want to allow data exchange, you can disable wireless communication.)If StreetPass is successful...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.• Some Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi software have a similar feature called tag mode. (The name for this mode may vary depending on the game you are playing.) Tag mode is only active when the system is in Sleep Mode while the software and tag mode feature are in use. When tag mode is in use, the StreetPass feature will not work for Nintendo 3DS software.• If you turn the power o or disable wireless communication, the system cannot communicate.• StreetPass may not be available depending on the play environment or the software you are using. StreetPass does not work if you are connected to the Internet or are using local communication (see page 27).To connect to a wireless LAN access point, you will need to congure the Internet settings for your Nintendo 3DS system (see page 59).• Within the service area of a Nintendo Zone or other wireless services, you can connect to the Internet without congur-ing your Internet settings.• SpotPass may not be available depending on the play environment or the software you are using. SpotPass is also not available during local communication (see page 27).• If you turn wireless communication o with the wireless switch, the system will not be able to use communication features.NOTE: The Notication LED may not light for some types of data. Keeping your system chargedYour system includes a charging cradle to make charging easy.

If the power LED turns red, save your game and charge the system.If you put the system into Sleep Mode while the power LED is a steady blue light, the LED will slowly brighten and darken. Battery enduranceThe battery endurance times are estimates. They will vary depending on factors such as the software being played, the amount of data received by wireless communication, and the ambient temperature. Using the camera features may also reduce the battery endurance times shown below.Approximate play times:Nintendo 3DS software • 3-5 hours Nintendo DS software • 5-8 hoursThe screen brightness setting aects the battery endurance time. The factory setting is 5 – for more information on adjusting screen brightness, see page 30.NOTE: Power-saving mode will increase the battery endur-ance by automatically adjusting the screen brightness and color based on what is being displayed at the time. For more information on power-saving mode, see page 30.• If you put the system in Sleep Mode when not using it, you can reduce power consumption while still being able to send and receive information from StreetPass and SpotPass via the wireless communication features. If the system is fully charged and put into Sleep Mode, the system's battery endurance time in Sleep Mode is roughly 3 days.• The power LED slowly brightens and darkens while the system is in Sleep Mode. NOTE: Depending on the software you are using, sometimes closing the system will not cause the system to enter Sleep Mode. In these cases the power LED will remain steadily lit.

Basic Operations22Basic Operations2310”–14”25cm–35cm3D depth adjustmentGreater depthLess depth Viewing and Adjusting the 3D Image Viewing and Adjusting the 3D ImageThe 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 binocu-lar parallax (the fact that your left and right eyes are located a short distance apart, causing them to see dierent 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 with the system held vertically, will not produce a 3D eect. Viewing it this way could cause you to see double images overlapped or cause the screen to appear black. To view the best-quality 3D imagesViewing and Adjusting the 3D Image Adjusting the depth of the 3D imagesYou can use the 3D depth slider to adjust the apparent depth when viewing 3D images. If it is dicult 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.• 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 intensity of the 3D eect.• It may be dicult to see the 3D eect in locations with strong direct light, such as sunlight.A note about viewing 3D imagesIMPORTANT: 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 diculty seeing the 3D eect, turn the 3D eect 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 58 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 68).Image for left eye Image for right eye3D image1 View the screen from directly in front. 2 Hold the screen 10 to 14 inches (25–35 centimeters) from your eyes.

We may add to or update the PII you provide on your Nintendo 3DS System with data collected from other sources, including oine sources (e.g., consumer service transactions such as repairs, part orders or purchases).

We may link your PII with Non-PII or Aggregate Information that we collect from you. Some of the ways in which we collect Non-PII are described in more detail below. • Web Beacons: Certain Nintendo 3DS System online applications may use a common Internet technology called “Web Beacons” which are small graphic images placed on a Web page, on a Web-based document, or in an email message, designed to collect certain information and monitor user activity online. We may use Web Beacons to collect information such as 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).

These les identify your Nintendo 3DS System and record data about your visit so that when you return to a Web site, the site recognizes your Nintendo 3DS System 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 les and Web Beacons, for example, to determine how to improve the Nintendo 3DS System applications by seeing which areas, features, and products are most popular; to personalize the Nintendo 3DS System services; make recommendations based on downloaded products; and to complete transactions you have requested.• Nintendo Wireless Communications: Your Nintendo 3DS System is automatically assigned an IP address by your Internet Provider when you connect to Nintendo via wireless communications.
