Types of notications
Notications
This software allows you to receive notications from Nintendo, from StreetPass, and from other
types of software.
SpotPass notications These contain data or information from Nintendo, Nintendo third parties, or from the
software you are using, and will vary depending on the game you are playing.
NOTE: The system cannot receive notications from Nintendo DS or Nintendo
DSi software.
StreetPass notications These contain information received via the StreetPass feature.
To receive notications
Follow these steps to allow your system to receive notications:
• Turn the system on. (The system will also receive notications in Sleep Mode.)
• Turn wireless communication on (see page page 25).
• Congure the Internet connection settings. (Within a Nintendo Zone service area, the system can
receive notications even without its Internet settings congured. Also, the system can receive
StreetPass notications without connecting to the Internet.)
NOTE: Notications sent to you by software may be sent directly without requiring an Internet connection.
