Notications
This software allows you to receive notications from Nintendo, from StreetPass, and from other
types of software.
To view notications
Tap the notication you want to view in your notication list.
• Unread notications will show
for StreetPass notications or
for SpotPass notications.
• Up to 12 StreetPass notications and up to 100 other notications can be saved on the system. If you receive more
notications than that, or if the storage limit is exceeded (such as when there are many notications saved with image
attachments), notications are deleted starting with the oldest notications rst. NOTE: Notications sent to you by
software may be sent directly without requiring an Internet connection.
To stop notication delivery
Tap Opt out of notications for this title inside the message and follow the
on-screen instructions.
NOTE: Notications that do not require an Internet connection, such as those from
software titles, cannot be stopped from the notication list. These are delivered
during game play and can be stopped from within the software.
The method for stopping these notications may vary depending on the
software title.
Stopping StreetPass notications
Tap Opt out of notications for this title and also deactivate StreetPass from StreetPass Management in the System
Settings (see page 74). If you deactivate StreetPass, these notications will no longer reach you.
To resume delivery of notications, reactivate StreetPass from within the software. For details, see the manual for the game
you are playing.
You cannot opt out of certain important information from Nintendo. (SpotPass notications from Nintendo
may contain important consumer information.)

or down to view your notica-
tion list.
SpotPass notications These contain data or information from Nintendo, Nintendo third parties, or from the
software you are using, and will vary depending on the game you are playing.

DSi software.
StreetPass notications These contain information received via the StreetPass feature.
