Before using your Wii system with any TV, especially front and rear projection or plasma models, be sure to review all documentation included with your TV to find out whether video games can be played on the TV without damaging it.
If in doubt, contact the manufacturer of the TV. Neither Nintendo nor any of Nintendo’s licensees will be liable for any damage to your TV.

negative (-) ends are facing in the correct directions. Insert the negative end first. When removing batteries, remove the positive end first.
• Do not use damaged, deformed or leaking batteries.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a re.
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 cover and remove the cover.

2. Slide the strap lock up so that the strap will not fall off your wrist. Do not over tighten the strap lock so that it’s uncomfortable. It should just be tight enough to hold the wrist strap in place. Close the lever to hold the strap lock in place.
Synchronizing Your Wii Remote Plus with the Wii mini Console
NOTE: Make sure you have placed batteries in the Wii Remote Plus.
This procedure allows the Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus to communicate with the console.
The Wii Remote Plus included with your Wii system has been synchronized with the console at the factory.
There are two different modes of synchronizing (syncing) a Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus with your console:
STANDARD MODE – The Standard Mode procedure is used when adding additional remotes to your system or if you want to re-synchronize your original remote. Once synchronized, the remote will stay synced to the console unless you overwrite this setting by syncing the remote to a different console.
NOTE: With Standard Mode Synchronization, you can synchronize up to 10 Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus controllers with your Wii mini console. The data of the remote that was sychronized first is deleted if you synchronize more than 10.
ONE TIME MODE – This mode allows you to temporarily use your remote on a console other than your own or to use a friends remote on your console. It does not delete the Standard Mode setting stored in the remote. In this mode, the remote will
only communicate with the console while the power is on. When the power is turned off the remote will lose its sync with the console.
• Only a Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus in Standard Mode can turn the console
power ON or OFF.
Standard Mode Synchronization
1. Press the Power button on the Wii mini console to turn it on.
2. Press and release the SYNC. button on the back of the Wii Remote Plus. The Player LEDs will blink.
NOTE: Some models may require to remove the battery cover to push the SYNC. button.
3. Press the SYNC Button on the side of the console. When the Player LED blinking stops, connection is complete. The LED that is illuminated indicates the player number.
IMPORTANT: This procedure must be followed for each additional remote added to your system.
