Nintendo DSi & Nintendo DSi XL - First Time Set Up
The first time you use a new Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL system, you will be taken through an initial setup. Below is a description of the process.
- When the system is powered on for the first time, tap "OK" on the "Please enter your settings" screen.
- Go through the following settings and select "OK" from the lower-right on each screen.
Select Language: Tap the desired language (English is selected by default. The first selection is English, the second is French, and the third is Spanish.)
Country: Tap your country of residence. Use the up/down arrows to scroll through the list. (The countries displayed are based on the region for which the system was intended to be sold.)
Date: Tap the up/down arrows to adjust the date.
Time: Tap the up/down arrows to adjust the time, then tap "OK" to confirm. (Time is in military time, which is based upon a 24 hour clock. If it's evening, make sure the time is being entered correctly. For example, 6:00 p.m. is 18:00).
User Nickname: Tap "OK," then use the on-screen keyboard to enter the desired User Nickname. (This User Nickname will be displayed in PictoChat and on DS Download Play, so it should not contain personal information.)
Message: Tap "OK," then use the on-screen keyboard to enter your personal message. (This message appears when you use PictoChat, so try something like a short greeting.)
Birthday: Tap "OK," then tap the up/down arrows to enter your birth date.
Color: Tap "OK," then select one of the color circles on the screen to set the default color for the Nintendo DSi menu.
Parental Controls: Select "Settings" to enter Parental Controls, or select "Quit" to end the initial setup with Parental Controls disabled.
