Power LED status

The power LED lights when the system is on. The color and status of the LED changes depending on the remaining battery charge.
Full charge
Steady blue Steady red
light light
NOTE: If you run out of remaining battery life while playing a game, you must replay the game from your last saved
location. If the power LED turns red, save your game and charge the system.
If you put the system into Sleep Mode while the power LED is a steady blue light, the LED will slowly brighten and darken.

Battery endurance

The battery endurance times are estimates. They will vary depending on factors such as the software being played, the amount of
data received by wireless communication, and the ambient temperature. Using the camera features may also reduce the battery
endurance times shown below.
Approximate play times:
Nintendo 3DS software • 3.5–6.5 hours Nintendo DS software • 6–10 hours

• If you put the system in Sleep Mode when not using it, you can reduce power consumption while still being able to send and
receive information from StreetPass and SpotPass via the wireless communication features. If the system is fully charged and put
into Sleep Mode, the system's battery endurance time in Sleep Mode is roughly 3 days.
• The power LED slowly brightens and darkens while the system is in Sleep Mode. NOTE: Depending on the software you are using,
sometimes closing the system will not cause the system to enter Sleep Mode. In these cases the power LED will remain steadily
lit. (For example, when listening to music with Nintendo 3DS Sound.)

The screen brightness setting affects the battery endurance
time. The factory setting is 5 – for more information on
adjusting screen brightness, see page 27.
NOTE: Power-saving mode will increase the battery endur-
ance by automatically adjusting the screen brightness and
color based on what is being displayed at the time. For more
information on power-saving mode, see page 27.
