My steps aren’t being counted
•

Your steps will only be counted if Sleep Mode is enabled.
•
Is the system in a loosely-hanging bag, or is it hanging from a wrist strap?
There may be cases where the system cannot correctly count your steps. If it is put in a loosely-
hanging bag while walking, step data may not be counted accurately. If you want to put the
system in a bag while carrying it around, use a tight-tting bag such as a belt pouch.
Note:
•
Depending on the conditions, the step count might be higher or lower than the number of actual
steps taken.
•
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.
•
Are you continuing to use the system while a Nintendo DS / Nintendo DSi software
title is in use?
If Nintendo DS / Nintendo DSi software titles aren’t closed for a period of, or exceeding, seven
consecutive days, only steps for the initial seven days will be recorded. After saving your game,
turn the software o.
