CAUTION: Do not use the Nintendo DS Power Supply during a lightning storm, as there may
be a risk of electric shock from lightning.
Before you use the Nintendo DS for the first time, or after you have not used it for a long time,
you must charge the battery. (If the Nintendo DS is not used for long periods of time, the battery
should still be recharged at least once every six months.)
When fully charged, the battery will last from six to ten hours depending on the type of game activity.
The battery can be recharged approximately 500 times, but performance may decrease after repeated
recharges, depending on usage conditions such as temperature. (Optimal charging temperature is
between 10 and 40 degrees Celsius.) Battery life may also decrease over time. After 500 recharges,
battery life may be only 70 % of the battery life at the time of purchase.
It takes approximately four hours to recharge the battery. (The actual time varies depending on how
much battery life you have left.) When the Power Indicator LED turns red, save your game and
recharge the battery to prevent loss of game data. You can play games while recharging the battery,
but the recharge time will be longer.
IMPORTANT: The Nintendo DS Power Supply is only for use with the Nintendo DS and
Game Boy Advance SP portable video game systems. It is not compatible with the original
Game Boy, Game Boy pocket, Game Boy Color or original Game Boy Advance.
