Types of notifications
SpotPass notifications These contain data or information from Nintendo, Nintendo third parties, or from
the software you are using, and will vary depending on the game you are playing.
NOTE: The system cannot receive notifications from Nintendo DS or
Nintendo DSi software.
StreetPass notifications These contain information received via the StreetPass feature.
To receive notifications
Follow these steps to allow your Nintendo 3DS system to receive notifications:
• Turn the system on. (The system will also receive notifications in Sleep Mode.)
• Turn wireless communication on by pushing the Wireless switch toward the top of the Nintendo
3DS. The Wireless LED will light.
• Configure the Internet connection settings. (Within a Nintendo Zone service area, the system can
receive notifications even without its Internet settings configured. Also, the system can receive
StreetPass notifications without connecting to the Internet.)
NOTE: Notifications sent to you by software may be sent directly without requiring an Internet connection.
When you receive a notification...
When you receive a notification, the notification LED on your Nintendo 3DS system will
blink for five seconds. For StreetPass notifications, it blinks green, and for SpotPass, it
blinks blue.
Additionally, or will be displayed on the Notifications icon and any
related software icons in the HOME Menu.
NOTE: If a notification is received when the system is in Sleep Mode, the
notification LED will blink for about five seconds and then stay lit. It will
turn off when you open the Nintendo 3DS system.

Notifications
This software allows you to receive notifications from Nintendo, from StreetPass, and
from other types of software.
To view notifications
Tap the notification you want to view in your notification list.
• Unread notifications will show for StreetPass notifications or for SpotPass notifications.
• Up to 12 StreetPass notifications and up to 100 other notifications can be saved on the system. If you receive more
notifications than that, or if the storage limit is exceeded (such as when there are many notifications saved with image
attachments), notifications are deleted starting with the oldest notifications first. NOTE: Notifications sent to you by
software may be sent directly without requiring an Internet connection.
To stop notification delivery
Tap Opt out of notifications for this title inside the message and follow
the on-screen instructions.
NOTE: Notifications that do not require an Internet connection, such as those
from software titles, cannot be stopped from the notification list. These are
delivered during game play and can be stopped from within the software.
The method for stopping these notifications may vary depending on the
software title.
Stopping StreetPass notifications
Tap Opt out of notifications for this title and also deactivate StreetPass from StreetPass Management in the
System Settings (see page 72). If you deactivate StreetPass, these notifications will no longer reach you.
To resume delivery of notifications, reactivate StreetPass from within the software. For details, see the manual for the
game you are playing.
You cannot opt out of certain important information from Nintendo. (SpotPass notifications from
Nintendo may contain important consumer information.)
Tap and slide the scroll bar
up or down to view your
