Synchronizing the Wii Remote with the Wii Console

Synchronizing the Wii Remote to a Wii console allows the Wii Remote to
communicate with the console. The Wii Remote included with your system
should already be synchronized to your console. However, all additional Wii
Remotes you use with your system also need to be synced in order to function
properly..

There are two different modes of synchronizing (syncing):

• STANDARD MODE - The Standard Mode procedure is used when

adding additional Wii Remotes to your system or if you want to
re-synchronize your original Wii Remote. Once synchronized, the Wii
Remote will stay synced to the console unless you overwrite the
settings by syncing the remote to a different console. For instructions
on Standard Mode syncing, please click here.

• ONE TIME MODE - This mode allows you to temporarily use your

remote on a Wii console other than your own, or to use a friend's
remote on your console. It can also be used to change the order of the
Wii Remotes, without the need to turn off the Wii console. One Time
Mode does not delete the Standard Mode setting stored in the Wii
Remote. In this mode, the Wii Remote will only communicate with the
Wii console while the power is on. When the power is turned off, the Wii
Remote will lose its sync with the Wii Console. For instructions on One
Time Mode setup, please click here.

Note: Only a Wii Remote in Standard Mode can turn the Wii console power ON
or OFF.

Standard Mode Synchronization

Note: Make sure you have placed batteries in the Wii Remote (how to).

1. Press the Power button on the Wii console to turn it on.

2. Open the SD Card Slot cover on the front of the Wii console. Remove the
battery cover on the back of the Wii Remote you wish to sync up.

3. Press and release the SYNC button on the inside of the SD Card
compartment on the console. Press and release the SYNC button just
below the batteries on the Wii Remote.

4. When the Player LED blinking stops, the syncing is complete. The LED
that is illuminated indicates the player number (1 through 4).

This procedure must be followed for each additional Wii
Remote added to your system.

One Time Mode Synchronization

Note: This mode temporarily removes Standard Mode synchronization
setup for all Wii Remotes until the power of the Wii console is turned off.
When the power is turned back on again, the Standard Mode settings
will return.

1. Press the HOME Button on a Wii Remote that is synchronized with the
Wii console.

2. Select the Wii Remote Settings option from the Home Button menu.

3. Select the Reconnect Option.

4. Press the 1 and 2 Buttons at the same time on the Wii Remote that you
want to synchronize with the console. If you are syncing multiple Wii
Remotes, press the 1 and 2 Buttons on each Wii Remote
immediately (without a significant pause) in the order you want them
synced. The order in which you synchronize Wii Remotes determines
the player order (1 through 4) for multiplayer games. The Player LED
will blink during the syncing process. When the blinking stops, the
connection is complete.

Check battery levels

type of use, up to 35 hours. This can vary greatly based on certain
factors, such as Wii Remote Speaker Volume, Rumble, battery quality

type of battery recommended are Nickel Metal Hydride batteries. When
