If your life gauge is fully depleted, the game will end. If you choose to  

continue playing, you will resume play in the area where you had been,  

or at the entrance to the dungeon you had been exploring.

* In this booklet, images from the upper and lower screens are indicated as shown above.

** Closing your Nintendo 3DS during play will cause the system to enter Sleep Mode,  

reducing battery consumption. The Nintendo 3DS will exit Sleep Mode once you open it again.

PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE NINTENDO 3DS

TM

 OPERATIONS MANUAL BEFORE USING YOUR 

SYSTEM, GAME CARD OR ACCESSORY. THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT HEALTH AND SAFETY 

INFORMATION.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: READ THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS BEFORE YOU OR YOUR 

CHILD PLAY VIDEO GAMES.

WARNING - 3D FEATURE ONLY FOR CHILDREN 7 AND OVER

Viewing of 3D images by children 6 and under may cause vision damage.  

Use the Parental Control feature to restrict the display of 3D images for children 6 and under. See the Parental Controls section in the 

Nintendo 3DS Operations Manual for more information.

WARNING - RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE

The Nintendo 3DS can emit radio waves that can affect the operation of nearby electronics, including cardiac pacemakers.

•  Do not operate the Nintendo 3DS within 9 inches of a pacemaker while using the wireless feature.

•  If you have a pacemaker or other implanted medical device, do not use the wireless feature of the Nintendo 3DS without first 

consulting your doctor or the manufacturer of your medical device.

•  Observe and follow all regulations and rules regarding use of wireless devices in locations such as hospitals, airports, and on 

board aircraft. Operation in those locations may interfere with or cause malfunctions of equipment, with resulting injuries to 

persons or damage to property.

WARNING - REPETITIVE MOTION INJURIES

WARNING - BATTERY LEAKAGE

The Nintendo 3DS contains a rechargeable lithium ion battery pack. Leakage of ingredients contained within the battery pack, or the  

combustion products of the ingredients, can cause personal injury as well as damage to your Nintendo 3DS. If battery leakage occurs, 

avoid contact with skin. If contact occurs, immediately wash thoroughly with soap and water. If liquid leaking from a battery pack 

comes into contact with your eyes, immediately flush thoroughly with water and see a doctor.
To avoid battery leakage:

•  Do not expose battery to excessive physical shock, vibration, or liquids.

•  Do not disassemble, attempt to repair, or deform the battery.

•  Do not dispose of battery pack in a fire.

•  Do not touch the terminals of the battery or cause a short between the terminals with a metal object.

•  Do not peel or damage the battery label.

Playing video games can make your muscles, joints, or skin hurt. Follow these instructions to avoid problems such as tendinitis, 

carpal tunnel syndrome or skin irritation: 

•  Avoid excessive play. Parents should monitor their children for appropriate play. 

•  Take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour, 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.  Doing so may cause fatigue or 

discomfort.

•  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 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 - EYESTRAIN AND MOTION SICKNESS

Playing video games can result in eyestrain after a sustained period of time, and perhaps sooner if using the 3D feature. Playing video 

games can also result in motion sickness in some players. Follow these instructions to help avoid eyestrain, dizziness, or nausea: 

•  Avoid excessive play. It is recommended that parents monitor their children for appropriate play. 

•  Take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour, or every half hour when using the 3D feature, even if you don’t think you need it. Each 

person is different, so take more frequent and longer breaks if you feel discomfort.

•  If your eyes become tired or sore while playing, or if you feel dizzy or nauseated, stop and rest for several hours before playing again. 

•  If you continue to have any of the above symptoms, stop playing and see a doctor.

WARNING - SEIZURES

•  Some people (about 1 in 4000) may have seizures or blackouts triggered by light flashes or patterns, and this may occur while they 

are watching TV or playing video games, even if they have never had a seizure before.

•  Anyone who has had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other symptom linked to an epileptic condition should consult a doctor before 

playing a video game.

•  Parents should watch their children play video games. Stop playing and consult a doctor if you or your child has any of the following 

symptoms:

 

Convulsions 

Eye or muscle twitching 

Loss of awareness

 

Altered vision 

Involuntary movements 

Disorientation

To reduce the likelihood of a seizure when playing video games:

1.  Sit or stand as far from the screen as possible.

2.  Play video games on the smallest available television screen.

3.  Do not play if you are tired or need sleep.

4.     Play in a well-lit room.

5.     Take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour.
