Basics Basics 17 18 Replacing the Battery Pack Battery replacement procedure Battery packs become worn with repeated charge/discharge cycles, and the amount of time they can be used when fully charged will decrease gradually over time. If you feel the usage time has dropped off noticeably, replace the battery pack. 1. Loosen the two Phillips-head (+) screws on the battery cover with a screwdriver, and remove the battery cover. IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the screw or threads, use a screwdriver that is appropriate for the screw. • Do not use any battery other than the Nintendo DSi rechargeable battery, Model No TWL-003. A replacement battery may be ordered through Nintendo's web site at www.nintendo.com (USA/Canada only) or by calling Customer Service at 1-800-255-3700. • A parent or guardian should replace the battery pack if a young child is using the system. PLEASE RECYCLE YOUR USED BATTERIES When disposing of a rechargeable battery, please be sure to follow appropriate local guidelines and regulations. • Do not disassemble, attempt to repair, or deform the battery pack. • Do not dispose of rechargeable batteries in a fire.
