HARDWARE PRECAUTIONS / MAINTENANCE
1. Do not disassemble or try to repair the Game Boy or components. Doing so voids your
warranty.
2. Always slide the power switch of the Game Boy off before loading or removing a Game
Pak. Insert the Game Pak completely without forcing either the Game Pak or the Game Boy.
3. Do not store the Game Boy in a humid place, on the floor or in any location where it may
collect dirt, dust, lint, etc.
4. Do not drop, hit or otherwise abuse the Game Boy or components.
5. Make sure all connections to the Game Boy are made carefully and inserted into the
correct locations only. Hold plugs straight when inserting them into a socket.
6. When disconnecting any plugs from the Game Boy or wall outlet, first turn the Game Boy
off. Then carefully pull by the plug itself rather than by the cord. Do not step on, sharply
pull or bend any wires or cables.
7. Do not expose the Game Boy, Game Paks or any of the Game Boy components to
extreme heat or cold. The liquid crystal display (LCD) may become slower or may not
work when the temperature is low. The LCD will deteriorate at a high temperature. Take
care not to expose the Game Boy to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
8. The LCD may be damaged by sharp objects or pressure. Take great care to protect the
display from scratches or stains.
9. Connect ONLY special accessories designed for use with the Game Boy to the external
power supply terminal or the extension connector.
10. Do not spill liquids on the Game Boy, Game Paks or any other of the Game Boy
components. To clean, use a soft slightly damp cloth. Allow the component to dry
completely before using again. (Use water only.)
11. Do not rapidly turn the power switch on and off, as this may shorten the life of the
batteries and cause battery backed-up Game Paks to lose your stored game information.
12. For the best game image, look directly at the Game Boy display from the front and
operate only in a good light.
13. To avoid dirt or dust from getting into the Game Boy, always leave a Game Pak loaded
(with the power off), when not in use.
14. When using an AC adapter, make sure you are using the correct model appropriate for
your Game Boy. Always unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet when not in use.
GAME PAK PRECAUTIONS / MAINTENANCE
1. Avoid touching the connectors with your fingers. Do not blow on them or allow them to get
wet or dirty. Doing so may damage the Game Pak and/or the Game Boy.
2. The Game Pak is a high precision piece of electronics. Do not store it in places that are
very hot or cold. Do not hit, drop or otherwise abuse it. Do not take it apart.
3. Do not clean with benzene, paint thinner, alcohol or any other solvent.
4. Always check the Game Pak edge connector for foreign material before inserting the
Game Pak into the Game Boy. To prevent the edge connectors from becoming dirty, we
recommend that you regularly use the Game Boy Cleaning Wand. (Sold separately. Visit
