WARNING
•	 Be	sure	to	charge	the	battery	before	using	it	for	the	first	time	or	when	it	has
  not been used in the last 6 months. 
Battery recharge time is approximately 2 - 1/2 hours, although this will vary depending on the remaining 
charge	when	you	begin	to	recharge	the	battery.	 You	can	play	games	while	the	battery	is	charging,	but	this	
will increase the recharge time.
When fully charged, the battery will last from 9-14 hours on the lowest screen brightness setting,
depending on the type of game activity. See page 15 for information on adjusting the screen brightness. On 
the brightest setting, the battery life is 3-4 hours. See the table below.
IMPORTANT: The Nintendo DSi AC Adapter, Model No. WAP-002(USA), is for use only with the 
Nintendo DSi portable video game system. It is not compatible with any other Nintendo system. 
Do not use the AC Adapter with voltage transformers, dimmer switches, or any other equipment. 
It is only for use in a standard 120-volt AC wall outlet.
1.	 Insert	the	DC	plug	from	the	AC	Adapter	into	the	system’s	AC
  Adapter connector on the back of the Nintendo DSi. Be sure to
  insert it straight into the connector.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the DC Connector Plug is
facing in the correct direction before inserting
into the connector to avoid damaging either the
plug or connector.
2.  Swing the prongs out of the AC Adapter and insert into a
  standard 120-volt AC wall outlet.
  The AC Adapter should be correctly oriented in a
  vertical or floor mounted-position.  The cord should
  always face downward.
IMPORTANT BATTERY GUIDELINES:
•	 Do	not	remove	the	battery	from	the	Nintendo	DSi	unless	it	needs	to	be	replaced.

    DC plug from the AC Adapter connector.
IMPORTANT: When disconnecting any plugs from the Nintendo DSi or wall outlet, carefully pull 
by the plug itself rather than by the cord.
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 
41º	and	95º	Fahrenheit	(5-35º	Celsius).	Battery	life	may	also	decrease	over	time.	After	500	recharges,	battery	
life may be only 70% of the battery life when new. Using the wireless communications 
or camera features may reduce the 
battery time to less than the figures 
shown to the right.
