•Avoid having people or other obstructions between the Nintendo DS system and the Wii console.

•Avoid interference from other devices.If communications seem to be affected by other devices

(wireless LAN, microwave ovens, cordless devices, computers), move the Wii console to another location or turn off the interfering device.
