Instruction booklet.

Privacy Information Wireless Communication Guidelines

PictoChat is not an internet application. However, when using

PictoChat, you can communicate with up to 15 other Nintendo DS

users within range of your DS (approximately 65 feet). Such users

will be able to see your nickname and messages. To protect your

privacy, do not give out personal information such as last name,

phone number, age, e-mail or home address when communicating

with others.

An adult should assist children with system setup (page 10, DS

Instruction booklet) and instruct them not to use personal

information. Children should be warned about communicating with

or meeting strangers.

During system setup, whatever date you choose to enter as your

month/day of birth (year is not asked for), an "It's your birthday"

message will be communicated in the chat room on that date.

• Begin with the distance between systems at about 30 feet (10

meters) or less and move closer or farther apart as desired,

keeping the signal strength at two or more bars for best results.

• Keep the maximum distance between systems at 65 feet (20

meters) or less.

• The systems should face each other as directly as possible.

• Avoid having people or other obstructions between the DS

systems.

•

Avoid interference from other devices. If communication

seems to

be affected by other devices (wireless LAN, microwave ovens,

cordless devices, computers), move to another location or turn off

the interfering device.

PictoChat allows you to send and receive wireless messages and

drawings easily, to and from up to 15 other DS users.

It is built into the Nintendo DS system, so all you have to do is turn

the power ON, and you're ready to go!
