Health and Safety Information
Touching the system more than necessary while it is damaged can lead to injury
Make no attempt to touch the areas that have sustained damage.
Do not place the system, or accessories such as microSD cards, within easy reach of children or pets,
or in places where there is a risk it could fall into their reach
Children may place the AC adapter, stylus, system accessories or other parts into their mouths and cause themselves harm
as a result.
Keep the cradle connector clean
Failure to do so could lead to re, overheating, electric shocks, inability to charge and other malfunctions. Clean at regular
intervals to ensure the cradle connector remains clean. Avoid applying unnecessary pressure as this could lead to damage.
Do not use while driving, cycling or walking
•
Use of the system while driving is an oence and it is dangerous.
•
Use of the system while walking or cycling can lead to accidents.
Be aware of your surroundings while using the system
Failing to take care could lead to injury, damage to household equipment and other malfunctions.
•
You will probably move around while using the camera function to take photographs or play certain games, so be careful
that all areas that you might move into are clear. Make sure that furniture, objects and people are out of the play area so
you don’t accidentally bump into them while playing.
Do not expose the system to high temperatures
The system is designed for use at temperatures of 5 – 35°C. Using the system in hot environments (e.g. under a duvet or
other non-ventilated environment) can lead to the system temperature rising sharply, which may cause burns. Use of the
system for prolonged periods while charging can increase the temperature of the system. Touching the system while it is
hot may cause burns.
Use the stylus properly
Incorrect use can lead to injury or damage.
•
Do not use the stylus for any purpose other than to operate the system or to remove the battery cover or cover plates.
•
Do not bend or apply unnecessary force to the stylus during use.
•
Do not use the stylus if it is damaged or distorted.
Be sure to connect the AC adapter to the correct voltage (AC 230 – 240V)
Failure to do so could lead to re, overheating, electrocution and other malfunctions.
Do not use voltage transformers intended for use abroad or plugs that deliver reduced amounts of electricity.
Do not use the AC adapter if the cable or plug is damaged
Doing so can lead to re and/or electrocution.
•
Avoid tightly wrapping, treading on, pulling, twisting or making adjustments to the cord.
•
Avoid placing heavy objects on the cord, especially on the DC connector plug.
•
If the system has been damaged or the cord broken, do not attempt to use it.
•
Do not expose the cord to extreme heat sources such as heaters or stoves.
•
Do not use damaged devices. The AC adapter should be regularly examined for damage to its cord, plug enclosure and
other parts. In case of damage please contact Nintendo Customer Service for information about purchasing possible
replacement parts (
p. 74). In order to avoid any potential hazards, do not attempt to repair the adapter yourself.
•
If the system is charging while being used, be careful not to pull on or entangle the power cord.
•
Use of the AC adapter by children should only be allowed with the full supervision of a parent or legal guardian.
Keep the AC plug clean by wiping with a dry cloth
Attempting to use the adapter when it is dirty or dusty could lead to re, electrocution or short circuits.
Do not plug too many devices into the electrical outlets or power boards, and do not connect
multiple power boards together
Doing so could lead to re or electrocution.
Be sure to plug in and remove the AC adapter properly
Failure to do so could lead to re, electrocution or short circuits.
Failing to insert the AC adapter properly into the electrical outlet may allow metal objects (such as paperclips or metallic
straps) to come into contact with the prongs of the plug.
To remove the AC adapter, grip the body of the plug securely and pull it straight out of the electrical outlet.
If the system is to be used by children, a parent or legal guardian should ensure that they do not allow the child to touch
the prongs of the plug with metal objects when plugging the AC adapter in.
The AC adapter should be plugged into an easily accessible electrical outlet that is near the equipment to be charged.
Do not use the system with wet or oily hands
This can lead to accidents, malfunction, injury or damage to property.
CAUTION
Do not apply unnecessary pressure to the LCD screens or subject them to extreme shock
Doing so could lead to injury or malfunction.
If the LCD screens should break, avoid contact with any leaking uid.
Do not put the system into your back pocket
Subjecting the system and LCD screens to excessive force, for example sitting on them, can damage them and lead to injury
or malfunction.
Keep your ngers clear of the hinge
Purchase a strong wrist strap
Should you use a wrist strap, please be aware that home-made or weak straps may break, leading to injury or damage.
Do not swing the system by its strap
Doing so could lead to the strap breaking and the system being dropped or thrown. This could result in damage to the
system or surrounding objects, and injury to yourself or others.
