INTRODUCTION
The Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection (Nintendo WFC) allows you to play
games over the internet, either at home or at an internet hotspot, using
a Nintendo DS and a Nintendo WFC compatible Nintendo DS game.
Look for this icon on Nintendo DS game packaging for games
that include the Nintendo WFC feature.
To play games at an internet hotspot, please visit
www.nintendowifi.com for the latest list of Nintendo WFC
compatible hotspots.

hotspots.
To play games over the internet at home, you will need:
• An active broadband internet account.
• A wireless access point, such as a wireless router or the Nintendo Wi-Fi
USB Connector.

TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT
CAUTION: The Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection uses data that is saved in
BOTH the game and your DS system. If you use the game in a
different DS and save over the original data, you will lose important
data including your active friend roster for all your games.
IMPORTANT: Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection gameplay uses more battery
power than other gameplay. You may prefer to use the AC Adapter to
prevent running out of power when using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
GAMEPLAY AT INTERNET HOTSPOTS
Nintendo has partnered with Wayport
access in many of their hotspot locations. You do not need to do any
advance configuration of your Nintendo DS to use these Wayport locations.
NOTE: At other partner hotspots, it may be necessary to configure your DS
similar to at-home play. Other free non-partner hotspots may also work.
Visit www.nintendowifi.com to locate the nearest Nintendo WFC
compatible hotspot, and once there, follow these instructions:
STEP 1 Insert your Nintendo WFC compatible game into your Nintendo
DS and turn on the power.
STEP 2 On the Nintendo DS Menu Screen, select the game title in the DS
Game Selection panel.
STEP 3 From the game menu options, select the choice for Nintendo
WFC game play modes. The name of this choice may vary from
game to game.
STEP 4 From the Nintendo WFC menu, select the choice to connect to
the Nintendo WFC service. The name of this choice may vary
from game to game.
Review the instruction booklet for the game you are playing for
specific information on wi-fi game options.
