Charging the Battery Pack
Power LED status
The power LED lights when the system is on. The color and status of the LED changes depending on the remaining battery charge.
(The Notication LED will also blink red when the battery charge is very low.)
NOTE: If you run out of remaining battery life while playing a game, you must replay the game from your last saved
location. 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 endurance
The 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 time. Approximate play times for Nintendo 3DS software are 3.5–5.5 hours, and for Nintendo DS software 5–9 hours.
• 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 pushing the Sleep switch will not cause the system to enter Sleep Mode. In these cases the power LED will remain
steadily lit. (For example, when listening to music with Nintendo 3DS Sound.)

Using SD Cards
The system comes with an SDHC Card inserted into the SD Card slot.With SD Cards you will be able to save photos you have
taken with the system or play music saved to the SD Card. (The data that can be saved to an SD Card varies depending on the software.)
Software that you have downloaded, other than DSiWare, is saved to the SD Card. NOTE: Downloaded software that has been saved on
several cards cannot be re-saved onto a single card.
Using miniSD Cards or microSD Cards(sold separately)
These require an SD Card adapter (sold separately).
IMPORTANT: Inserting or removing a miniSD Card or microSD Card while the
card adapter is still inserted in the system could cause the system to be
damaged or malfunction, or cause loss of data. Always insert and remove the
entire card adapter.
Removing an SD Card
Make sure the power is o.
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the system or the
SD Card, do not remove or insert the SD Card while the
system is on, unless instructed to do so by the software
you are using. Doing so may destroy data.
Inserting an SD Card
1
Open the SD Card slot cover.
2
Insert the SD Card.
Insert the SD Card into the SD Card slot until it clicks into place, making sure the label side
faces toward the bottom of the system. Close the SD Card slot cover.
SD Card write-protection switch
In the down position, the SD Card write-protection switch will prevent you from
saving or erasing data on the card. In the up position, you can save and erase data
on the card.

until it clicks and partially ejects from the slot. Grasp the SD
Card and remove from the card slot.
Note label direction
Using SD Cards
The Nintendo 2DS uses SD Cards up to 2GB in size and SDHC Cards of 4GB and larger.
About SD Card capacity
If you begin to run out of room on an SD Card, rst try deleting undesired photos, sound les, or software using the Data
Management feature in System Settings (see page 15). If you still need more room, you can purchase a higher-capacity SD
Card and move all of the les onto the new SD Card.
Use a PC that has an SD Card slot or a commercially available SD Card reader/writer to transfer les.
IMPORTANT: Downloadable software and its save data are saved in the Nintendo 3DS folder. (Photo data
is not included.) Please do not alter, move, or erase les or change the names of the les in the
Nintendo 3DS folder.
Copying les
Please make sure to copy each of the pertinent folders within the Nintendo 3DS folder.
If you copy software to a new SD Card, play it, and save your progress, the same software on the old SD
Card may become unusable. You cannot use multiple copies of the software.
If you copy software to a new SD Card, use the new SD Card and do not use the original data.
Precautions about copying les
You cannot recombine downloadable software whose folders have been saved to multiple SD Cards. If you copy data to
a new card and then overwrite that data by re-copying it, that data will become unusable.
If you individually copy the les in the Nintendo 3DS
folder, the Nintendo 2DS system will not recognize them.
You must copy each folder in the Nintendo 3DS folder
without altering the contents.

Nintendo Network ID Settings
Register a Nintendo Network ID or change existing settings.
When you register a Nintendo Network ID on your system, you will be able to share your Nintendo eShop history and account balance
with the Wii U Nintendo eShop.
• You will need a Nintendo Network ID to download demo games or other free content from Nintendo eShop.
• To register a Nintendo Network ID you will need a broadband internet connection (see page 4) and an email address.
• The consent of a parent or guardian is required before children under the age of 13 are able to create a Nintendo Network ID.
To provide this consent, you must follow the on-screen instructions for the“Parent/Guardian Conrmation” process.
Precautions regarding the Nintendo Network ID
• Once an ID is linked to your system, you will need to sign in with that ID in order to use Nintendo eShop. Any account
activity and/or balance on your system at the time of the link will be merged with any account activity and/or balance
already associated with your Nintendo Network ID.
• An ID can only be linked to one system in the Nintendo 3DS family at a time. If you want to transfer an ID from one such
system to another, you will need to move it via a system transfer (see Other Settings, page 18).
– You cannot merge Nintendo Network IDs with one another. For that reason, you cannot consolidate software
purchases made using various IDs onto a single ID.
– You cannot perform a system transfer to a system linked to a Nintendo Network ID. If you want to perform a system
transfer to such a system, you must rst format the System Memory of that system (see page 18).
• The list of friends associated with an ID is dierent from the Friend List associated with your Nintendo 2DS system.
Additions and modications to the list of friends associated with an ID can only be made on a linkedWii U system, and
this list of friends can only be used by software that permits sign-in with a Nintendo Network ID.
Registering your Nintendo Network ID
Start setting up a Nintendo Network ID by tapping Nintendo Network ID Settings on the System Settings screen (see page 15).
1
Tap either Link an Existing ID or Create a New ID
• If you create a new ID on this device, you will not be able to combine your
Nintendo eShop account activity and balance with that of any ID you are already
using on a Wii U. If you want to link the ID you are currently using on aWii U to
this device, be sure to tap Link an Existing ID.
• Once you have successfully linked an ID, you will be asked to sign in with that ID
when you make use of services that require one. If you forget your password, tap
I Forgot at the sign-in screen and follow the instructions that are displayed.
