Nintendo Switch 2 Manual

CAREFUL USAGE

• Please note that the operating temperature for this product is between 5°C and 35°C.
• Do not place the console in humid areas or areas where the temperature can suddenly change. If condensation forms, turn the power off and wait until the water droplets have evaporated.
• Do not use in dusty or smoky areas.
• Do not cover the air intakes or vents on the console (pictured) or the dock to avoid overheating. If dust or another foreign substance builds up on the air intakes or vents, remove it using a vacuum.
  
• Do not place anything on top of the AC adapter cable.
• Pay attention to the load capacity of the circuit when choosing where to plug the product in.
• When the AC adapter will not be in use for longer periods of time, remove it from the socket to prevent damage due to overvoltage.
• If the AC adapter becomes dirty, unplug it and wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. If the console or an accessory becomes dirty, turn the power off and disconnect any cables as applicable, then wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using thinner or other solvents. After cleaning, make sure products are completely dry before using them again.
• Be aware of your surroundings while playing.
• Make sure to charge the built-in batteries at least once every six months. If the batteries are not used for an extended period of time, it may become impossible to charge them.
• The screen is covered with a film layer designed to prevent fragments scattering in the event of damage. Do not peel it off.

Using the Joy-Con 2 Controllers

Charge and pair controllers before using them for the first time. You can charge and pair controllers by attaching them directly to the console or using the Joy-Con 2 charging grip (BEE-010) (sold separately).

To charge the controllers fully when they are attached to the console, ensure that the console is charging at the same time.

• Observe the following precautions when using Joy-Con 2 controllers:
  • To detach a Joy-Con 2 from the console, press the release button on the back of the Joy-Con 2 and pull gently outwards. To avoid dropping and damaging the console, only press the release button when holding both the console and controller securely.
    
  • To avoid dropping and damaging the console, do not swing or dangle the console from an attached Joy-Con 2 or apply force to the connecting parts while playing.
  • When playing with one or more Joy-Con 2 controllers detached from the console, attach a Joy-Con 2 strap to each controller when instructed to do so in the software. To attach a Joy-Con 2 strap accessory, match the + or – Button on the controller with the same symbol on the accessory. Secure the strap around your wrist and hold the controller firmly. You can detach a strap by holding the release button on the back of the Joy-Con 2 it's attached to.
    
  • The Joy-Con 2 controllers attach to the console and the Joy-Con 2 grip using a magnetic connection. Do not affix stickers to the part of a Joy-Con 2 where the SL/SR Buttons are located. Doing so could weaken the connection and could cause the controller to detach unexpectedly.
  • If small metal objects such as screws or tacks become affixed to the magnetic areas on the console or Joy-Con 2 grip, use a cotton swab to remove them. Do not touch them with your fingers. Continuing to use the product without removing such objects could result in damage to the Joy-Con 2 controllers or could cause them to detach unexpectedly.
• Observe the following precautions when using mouse controls:
  • If any dust or dirt is present on the Joy-Con 2, the Joy-Con 2 strap or the table or surface being used, wipe it clean before use.
  • Use the Joy-Con 2 on a flat surface with no sharp edges or protrusions.
  • Avoid using the Joy-Con 2 on surfaces that are easily scratched. It is recommended that you use a mousepad or mat.
  • Do not strike the Joy-Con 2 forcefully or press on it when moving it around.

Please make sure you read the Health and Safety Information page on the Nintendo Switch™ 2 console once it has been set up. You can access this information from SUPPORT in (System Settings) on the HOME Menu.
