System Setup

IMPORTANT PRIVACY INFORMATION: Nintendo DS wireless communication,
including PictoChat™ (see page 16), is not monitored.
This means PictoChat does not block messages from strangers. Similar to
unmonitored internet chat rooms, children should be warned about receiving
messages from, or communicating with, strangers. Up to 15 other DS users
within range of your Nintendo DS may be able to view your nickname and
messages within a selected chat room at any one time.
An adult should assist children with the system setup and instruct them not to
use personal information and not meet strangers or give personal information
to anyone because it could be read by a stranger. Whatever date you choose to
enter as your month/day of birth (year is not asked for), an "it's your birthday"
message will be communicated in the chat room on that date. For more
information, visit http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/dsprivacy.
The first time the Nintendo DS is turned on, you will be asked to select the
screen language. Use the +Control Pad or stylus to select a language, then
touch "Yes" or press the A Button.
Follow the on-screen instructions to input your nickname, screen color,
date, time, and month and day of birth (not the year). Press the B Button to
step backward through this process if you would like to change the settings.
You will be able to change these settings later from the Settings Menu on
pages 19-23. For help using the on-screen keyboard, see page 18.
At the end of this process, the DS will save your settings and turn off.
Turn the power on to go to the Nintendo DS Menu Screen shown below.
