System Transfer - Nintendo CTRSKAAA Operation Manual

System Transfer

Transfer data from a Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL system you already own to your
Nintendo 3DS system, or transfer data between two Nintendo 3DS systems.
IMPORTANT: To make sure that neither system turns off during the system transfer, we
recommend that you either perform the transfer while the systems are charging or make
sure the batteries are charged sufficiently before beginning. If the remaining battery life is
low, you will not be able to perform a system transfer.
• System Transfer uses both an Internet connection and local wireless communication between the two systems. Make sure both
systems are placed in a location that provides a good environment for wireless communication.
• Both systems must have wireless communications enabled before performing a transfer.
• During the transfer, the system cannot be put into Sleep Mode by closing the system. Do not turn the power off during
