Power On/Off And Basic Configuration; Sleep Mode And Turning Your System Off; Configuring System Settings For The First Time - Nintendo 2DS Operation Manual

Power On/Off and Basic Configuration

Press the POWER Button to turn the system on. The Power LED will light up and
after a few seconds the HOME Menu will appear.
The first time you turn the system on, you will need to select a language
and then configure the System Settings.
For more information on the Power LED and battery life, see page 17.

Sleep Mode and turning your system off

Putting the system into Sleep Mode
Moving the Sleep switch to the right while the system is turned on will suspend your game and put the
system into Sleep Mode. In this mode, the screens will turn off and the controls will become inoperable.
Sleep Mode will reduce power consumption while still using features such as StreetPass and SpotPass
(see page 2 and page 3 for more information on these features).
Depending on the software you are using, pressing the Sleep switch may not place it in Sleep Mode. (For example, when listen-
ing to music with Nintendo 3DS Sound.)
Turning the system off
To turn the system off, either press the POWER Button to display the Power menu and tap
Power Off, or press and hold the POWER Button until the power LED turns off.
NOTE: If the system is in Sleep Mode, you will need to wake it before turning the
power off.
