Battery packs become worn with repeated charge/discharge cycles, and the amount of time they can be used when fully charged
will decrease gradually over time. If you feel the usage time has dropped off noticeably replace the battery pack.
• Do not use any battery other than the Nintendo 3DS rechargeable battery pack, Model No. CTR-003. A replace-
ment battery may be ordered through Nintendo’s website at store.nintendo.com (USA/Canada only) or by
calling Customer Service at 1-800-255-3700.
• A parent or guardian should replace the battery pack if a child is using the system.
• Turn the power off and make sure the AC adapter is unplugged from the Nintendo 3DS system.
