Steps are only counted when both the power is on and the system is in Sleep Mode. • If you carry your system in a bag that is not closely connected to your body, or you dangle it by a strap or case as you walk, it cannot accurately count your steps. The step numbers will be counted more accurately if you carry your system in a bag connected to your waist (such as a hip pouch). • If you play a Nintendo DS or Nintendo DSi software title for long periods of time without exiting, the system can only save up to seven days of information.
