WIRELESS COMMUNICATION GUIDELINES
After you have configured your Nintendo DS to communicate with the
USB connector, observe the following wireless signal strength guidelines:
During wireless communication setup or gameplay, an icon will appear on
the upper or lower Nintendo DS displays showing the signal strength of the
wireless signal. The icon has four modes depending on the signal strength:
0
1
WEAKER
For optimal communication, keep the signal strength at 2 or 3 by moving
closer to the USB connector if necessary.
Follow these guidelines to maintain a strong signal:
• Keep the maximum distance between systems and the USB connector at
30 feet (10 meters) or less.
• Reorienting the DS systems to the USB connector may boost the signal.
• Avoid having people or other obstructions between the DS systems and
the USB connector.
• Avoid interference from other devices. If communication seems to be
affected by other devices (wireless LAN, microwave ovens, cordless
devices, computers), move to another location if possible or turn off the
interfering device.
