• The Dreamcast may not function correctly if the correct time is not set.
• Do not touch the Analog Thumb Pad, Trigger L, or Trigger R on the controller while turning on the

initialized.

R ec har g eable batter y

The Dreamcast contains a rechargeable battery
for saving information such as date and time
settings.
It is recommended that you charge the
Dreamcast for about two hours the first time you
use it. The date and time settings can be
maintained for about 20 days after the
rechargeable battery has been charged for two
hours.

• The rechargeable battery is charged when the

Dreamcast is connected to a power source and
turned on. Charging works properly even when
you are playing games.

• If the battery is not retaining a charge, please

contact Sega’s Technical Support at
www.sega.com or 1-800-USA-SEGA.

Regardless of the status of the date and time, or the rechargeable battery, the Dreamcast will retain your
language selection.

The date/time setting screen will be displayed automatically after
the Dreamcast intro screen.

Move the Directional Pad (or the Analog Thumb Pad) to the left or
