“If you use Nintendo Switch in a hot place, the temperature of the main unit should be high. Use it in places (with temperatures between) 5 and 35 degrees. Also, if the inlet and outlet (air) ports become blocked, the temperature of the main unit will rise. Let the air around the intake and exhaust ports (circular) better. If the temperature of the main unit gets too high, the console will automatically sleep to protect itself. When playing in TV mode, install the Nintendo Switch Dock in a location that does not retain heat. If there is dirt or dust on the air intake and exhaust ports, remove it with a vacuum cleaner. For your safety, do not disassemble the main unit, ”explains the company’s message.
