WARNING – REPETITIVE MOTION INJURIES
Playing video games can make your muscles, joints or skin hurt after a few hours. Follow these instructions to avoid problems such as
tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome or skin irritation:
•
Avoid excessively long play sessions. Parents or legal guardians should monitor their children for appropriate play.
•
Take a break of 10 to 15 minutes every hour (every half hour when using the 3D feature), even if you don't think you need it.
•
When using the stylus, you do not need to grip it tightly or press it hard against the screen. If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired
or sore while playing, or if you feel symptoms such as tingling, numbness, burning or stiffness, stop and rest them for several hours
before playing again.
•
If you continue to have any of the above symptoms or other discomfort during or after play, stop playing and see a doctor.
WARNING – RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
This system can emit radio waves that can affect the operation of nearby electronics, including cardiac pacemakers.
•
Do not operate the system within 25 centimetres (10 inches) of a pacemaker while using wireless communication. If you have a pacemaker
or other implanted medical device, do not use wireless communication without first consulting your doctor or the manufacturer of your
medical device.
•
Wireless communication may not be allowed in certain places such as aeroplanes or hospitals. Please follow respective regulations.
WARNING – BATTERY
This system contains a rechargeable lithium ion battery. Leakage or combustion of the battery can cause personal injury as well as damage
to your system.
To avoid battery leakage or combustion:
•
Do not damage the battery.
•
Do not expose the battery to excessive physical shock, vibration, or liquids.
•
Do not disassemble, deform or attempt to repair the battery.
•
Do not expose the battery to heat or dispose of it in a fire.
•
Do not touch the terminals of the battery with any foreign materials or metal objects.
•
Always attach the battery cover (back plate).
In case of leakage:
If the battery leaks, do not touch it, and contact Nintendo Customer Support. To ensure any leaked fluid on the system doesn't come
into contact with your hands, wipe the exterior of the system thoroughly with a soft, slightly damp cloth. If the leaked fluid comes
into contact with your hands or any other part of your body, rinse it away with water. If liquid leaking from a battery comes into contact
with your eyes, it can cause injury. Immediately rinse your eyes with plenty of water and consult a doctor.

WARNING – CHARGING THE SYSTEM
Use a compatible AC adapter and battery.
Using an incompatible AC adapter or battery can lead to battery leakage, combustion or explosion, which can in turn lead to fire and/or
electrocution. For New Nintendo 3DS only use the New Nintendo 3DS Battery (KTR-003), and for New Nintendo 3DS XL only use the
Nintendo 3DS XL Battery (SPR-003). Use the Nintendo 3DS AC adapter (WAP-002(UKV)/WAP-002(EUR)) (sold separately) only.
Be sure to connect the AC adapter to the correct voltage (AC 220-240V).
Be sure to plug in the AC adapter to your system's AC adapter connector in the correct direction. To remove the AC adapter, grip the
body of the plug securely and pull it straight out of the plug socket.
Do not use voltage transformers intended for use abroad or plugs that deliver reduced amounts of electricity. Also avoid using
incandescent-specific light dimmers or in-car AC/DC adapters or chargers.
Do not use the AC adapter if the cable or plug is damaged.
Doing so can lead to fire and electrocution.
•
Avoid tightly wrapping, treading on, pulling, twisting or making adjustments to the cord.
•
Avoid placing heavy objects on the cord.
•
Do not expose the cord to extreme heat sources such as heaters or stoves.
•
If you use the system while charging it, be careful not to pull on or entangle the power cord.
If the AC adapter becomes damaged, please contact Nintendo Customer Support. Do not attempt to repair the adapter yourself.
The AC adapter is for indoor use only.
Do not touch the AC adapter connector or any other connector on the system with your fingers or metal objects.
Do not touch the system or AC adapter while charging during a thunderstorm.
WARNING – GENERAL
Not suitable for children under 36 months of age. Do not place the system or its accessories within reach of
young children or pets.
Children may place the AC adapter, stylus, microSD card or other accessories into their mouths and cause injury.
Do not use excessive volume for headphones.
Using headphones at loud volumes for long periods of time could result in impaired hearing. When using headphones, keep the volume
at a level that allows you to hear background sounds. If you notice problems such as fatigue or ringing in the ears, discontinue use. If the
symptoms persist, consult a doctor.
Do not get too close to the infrared transceiver.
Looking directly into the infrared transceiver can lead to impaired vision and other problems.
