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.
The Nintendo DS Lite must only be used with the Nintendo DS Lite AC Adapter.
AC Adapter used with the Nintendo DS Lite should be regularly examined for damage to the
