Charging the Nintendo DS Lite Rechargeable Battery Pack (USG-003)

Caution: Do not use the Nintendo DS Lite AC Adapter during a lightning storm, as there may be a risk of electric shock from lightning.

Before you use the DS for the first time, or after you have not used it for a long time, you must charge the battery. (If the DS is not used for long periods of time, the battery should still be recharged at least once every six months.)

When fully charged, the battery will last from 15-19 hours on the lowest screen brightness setting, depending on the type of game activity. (See page 13, #7, for information on adjusting the screen brightness.) On the brightest setting, the battery life is 5-8 hours.

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 10 and 40 degrees Celsius.) Battery life may also decrease over time. After 500 recharges, battery life may be only 70 % of the battery life at the time of purchase.

It takes approximately three hours to recharge the battery. (The actual time varies depending on how much battery life you have left.) When the Power Indicator LED turns red, save your game and recharge the battery to prevent loss of game data. You can play games while recharging the battery, but the recharge time will be longer.

IMPORTANT: The Nintendo DS Lite AC Adapter [USG-002(AUS)] is only for use with the Nintendo DS Lite portable video game system. It is not compatible with any other Nintendo system.

1. Insert the DC Connector Plug from the AC Adapter into the External Extension Connector (5.2V IN) on the back of the DS. (Illustration 1)

IMPORTANT: Be sure the DC Connector Plug is facing in the correct direction before inserting into the External Extension Connector to avoid damaging either the DC Connector Plug or External Extension Connector.

2. Insert the pins of the AC Adapter into a standard 230-240 volt household electrical outlet. Be sure that the pins are fully inserted into the outlet. The Recharge indicator LED will light orange until the battery is fully charged. You can use the DS while recharging; however, it will take longer to recharge the battery. (Illustration 2)

3. When fully charged, the Recharge indicator LED will turn off. Remove the AC Adapter from the electrical outet. Then remove the DC Connector Plug from the External Extension Connector. (Illustration 3)

IMPORTANT: When disconnecting any plugs from the DS or wall socket, carefully pull by the plug itself rather than by the cord. Do not wrap the AC Adapter cord around the DS.
