  • Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WHEN USING THE Wii SYSTEM

Before setup and use of the Wii system, please review this safety information to ensure an enjoyable and safe play experience.

  1. WEAR THE WRIST STRAP WHEN USING THE Wii REMOTE PLUS CONTROLLER.
    • Make sure all players use the wrist strap and that the strap lock is correctly tightened
    • When sharing Wii Remote accessories between multiple players, make sure each person uses the wrist strap properly.
    • Wearing the wrist strap will prevent you from accidentally dropping or throwing the remote during gameplay, which could damage the remote or surrounding objects, or cause injury to other people.
  2. DO NOT LET GO OF THE REMOTE DURING GAMEPLAY.
    • Read the Instruction booklet for the game you are playing and follow all game control instructions for the correct use of the Wii Remote Plus or accessory controllers.
    • Hold the remote securely and avoid excessive motion, as it may cause you to let go of the remote and may break the wrist strap.
    • If your hands become moist, stop and dry your hands.
  3. ALLOW ADEQUATE ROOM AROUND YOU DURING GAMEPLAY.
    • Stay at least three (3) feet away from the television.
    • As you may move around during gameplay, make sure objects and other people are out of your range of movement or arm motion to prevent damage or injury.
  4. USE THE Wii REMOTE JACKET.

  • If the cursor on the TV screen moves even if the Wii Remote Plus is not being moved, or moves differently than when the Wii Remote Plus is moved, the remote may need to be recalibrated due to the following:
  1. Changing batteries in the Wii Remote Plus during gameplay.
  2. Moving the Wii Remote Plus from a cold environment into a warm environment.

To recalibrate the Wii Remote Plus, place it on a flat horizontal surface with the buttons facing down. It should be 20” or more from your television and Wii console for correct calibration. Wait for a few seconds and check the operation. Also, review the instruction manual for the game you are playing for more information.

NOTE: This procedure must be done during gameplay.

Setup of the Wii Remote Plus

The Wii Remote Plus comes with the Wii Remote Jacket installed.

  • Be sure that the Wii Remote Jacket is installed during gameplay to reduce the risk of harm to the remote, surrounding objects, or people.
  • It may be necessary to remove the Wii Remote Jacket – for example, to replace the batteries in the Wii Remote Plus. If you do remove the Wii Remote Jacket, be sure to replace it before further play.

Installing Batteries

The Wii Remote Plus uses AA batteries. Nintendo recommends high-quality alkaline batteries for the best performance and longevity of battery life. If you use rechargeable nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for safety and proper usage.

  1. Pull the Wii Remote Jacket off the base of the Wii Remote Plus and pull the wrist strap out of the hole in the bottom of the jacket.

  2. Pull the jacket up the remote far enough to expose the entire battery door and remove the door.

  3. Insert the batteries into the battery chamber. Be sure to insert the minus (–) end first when inserting new batteries, and remove the plus (+) end first when replacing the batteries.

  4. IMPORTANT: If this is the first time you have installed batteries in the Wii Remote Plus, you must synchronize the remote with the Wii console before using it. See the next page, Synchronizing your Wii Remote Plus with the Wii console, for instructions. Then return to Step 4.
    Replace the battery cover, thread the wrist strap through the hole in the bottom of the jacket, and pull the jacket back over the bottom of the remote. Nintendo-RVLACJW1-Wii-Remote-Controller-fig-7

  5. If you remove the jacket from the remote, replace it by inserting the top of the remote into the large hole on the front of the jacket. Be sure to push it all the way into the inside of the jacket.
    Thread the wrist strap through hole in the bottom of the jacket, as shown in step 4, above. Nintendo-RVLACJW1-Wii-Remote-Controller-
