Nintendo 3DS
In this article, you'll learn how to put the system into sleep mode.
What to do
For Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, New Nintendo 3DS, New Nintendo 3DS XL, and New Nintendo 2DS XL
Closing the system while it is turned on will put the system into Sleep Mode. Sleep Mode will reduce power consumption while still using features such as StreetPass and SpotPass.
- Depending on the software you are using, closing the system may not place it in Sleep Mode. (For example, when listening to music with Nintendo 3DS Sound.)
For Nintendo 2DS
- Locate the switch labeled SLEEP on the bottom right of the system.
- Press the switch all the way to the right. You should see an orange color show up when the switch is pressed all the way to the right.
