The lower LCD screen, or Touch Screen, is touch sensitive. For games that include this game control feature,
operate the screen by using the included stylus. Lightly touch or slide the stylus across the Touch Screen as
shown below.
IMPORTANT STYLUS AND SCREEN GUIDELINES:
• Use the stylus ONLY on the Touch Screen (lower screen).
• Use only enough pressure to operate the game. Excessive pressure may damage the
Touch Screen.
• Do not use the stylus if it is broken.
• Use only a Nintendo licensed stylus on the Touch Screen.
• Replace the stylus in the stylus holder when not in use.
• If you use a screen protector on your Nintendo DS, use only a Nintendo licensed screen
protector, anduse it only on the Touch Screen.

continue to use your Nintendo DSi. It may not work properly and can become more damaged.
Follow the cleaning procedures below. If it still does not work after cleaning, visit www.

You can adjust the Touch Screen if it doesn’t seem to respond properly or if the Touch Screen is not
responding to the same place you’re touching it.

been applied correctly before attempting to calibrate the Touch Screen.
