There may be a risk of electric shock from lightning. Before you use the DS for the first time, or after you have not used it for a long time, you must charge the battery. (If the DS will not be used for long periods of time, the battery should be recharged at least once every six months.)

When the power indicator LED turns red, save your game and recharge the battery to prevent loss of game data. You can play games while recharging the battery, but the recharge time will be longer. IMPORTANT: The DS AC Adapter is only for use with the DS and Game Boy Advance SP portable video game systems.
