PictoChat (Nintendo DS) Manual Guide
PictoChat is not an internet application. However, when using PictoChat, you can communicate with up to 15 other Nintendo DS users within range of your DS (approximately 65 feet). Such users will be able to see your nickname and messages. To protect your privacy, do not give out personal information such as last name, phone number, age, e-mail or home address when communicating with others. An adult should assist children with system setup (page 10, DS Instruction booklet) and instruct them not to use personal information. Children should be warned about communicating with or meeting strangers. During system setup, whatever date you choose to enter as your month/day of birth (year is not asked for), an “It’s your birthday” message will be communicated in the chat room on that date.

Wireless Communication Guidelines For more detailed instructions on wireless communication, refer to the Nintendo DS Instruction booklet.
• Begin with the distance between systems at about 30 feet (10 meters) or less and move closer or farther apart as desired, keeping the signal strength at two or more bars for best results. • Keep the maximum distance between systems at 65 feet (20 meters) or less. • The systems should face each other as directly as possible. • Avoid having people or other obstructions between the DS systems. • Avoid interference from other devices. If communication seems to be affected by other devices (wireless LAN, microwave ovens, cordless devices, computers), move to another location or turn off the interfering device.
