INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
After you have configured your Nintendo DS or Wii to communicate with the USB connector, observe the following wireless signal strength guidelines:
During wireless communication setup or gameplay, an icon will appear on the upper or lower Nintendo DS displays showing the signal strength of t\
he wireless signal. The icon has four modes depending on the signal strengt\
h:
For optimal communication, keep the signal strength at 2 or 3 by moving closer to the USB connector if necessary.
Follow these guidelines to maintain a strong signal:
•  Keep the maximum distance between systems and the USB connector at  30 feet (10 meters) or less.•  Reorienting the DS or Wii console to the USB connector may boost the signal.•  Avoid having people or other obstructions between the DS or Wii console \
   and the USB connector.• 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 if possible or turn off t\
he  interfering device.
If you have trouble installing or operating this device, please check fo\
llowing before calling for service:
