When You Can’t Connect
If you are unable to connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, you will see an error code and message. If this happens, please see the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Instruction Booklet, available at www.nintendo.com/consumer/manuals,
for more information.
Friend Codes
The friend code is a 12-digit number that is automatically assigned to you when you first connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Exchange friend codes with your friends and register them on your friend roster.
Registering to Your Friend Roster
Select and confirm “Nintendo WFC” on the Top Menu, then “Register to Friend Roster.” Once a player’s friend code is registered, you may directly communicate with that player over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. You may exchange friend codes using wireless communication or directly key in the friend code using the command “Enter Friend Code.” Your friend roster can register up to 16 players.
Managing Your Friend Roster
Select and confirm “Nintendo WFC” on the Top Menu, then “Sort Friend Roster.” You can check the registered friend codes, edit, and delete them. Select and confirm “Edit” on the selected friend code to alter it and modify the team name. Once you and your friend have exchanged and registered friend codes, whenever you both
connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, 
will appear.
Your Own Friend Code
Select and confirm “Nintendo WFC” on the Top Menu, then “My Friend Code” to obtain or check your own friend code. Remember, if you want to link with a certain player over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, you both need to register each other’s friend codes first.
E-mail Settings
Select and confirm “Nintendo WFC” on the Top Menu, then “E-mail Settings” to register your e-mail address (P. 31).
