for SpotPass notications.

• Up to 12 StreetPass notications and up to 100 other notications can be saved on the system. If you receive more

notications than that, or if the storage limit is exceeded (such as when there are many notications saved with image

software may be sent directly without requiring an Internet connection.

To stop notication delivery
