Power LED
The power LED lights up blue when the system is turned on, turns red when the battery charge is low and flashes red when the battery is starting
to run out.
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.

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.
