IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION – READ THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS BEFORE SET UP OR USE OF THE Wii CONSOLE. IF THIS PRODUCT IS TO BE USED BY YOUNG CHILDREN, THIS MANUAL SHOULD BE READ AND EXPLAINED TO THEM BY AN ADULT. FAILING TO DO SO MAY CAUSE INJURY.

Some people (about 1 in 4000) may have seizures or blackouts triggered by light flashes or patterns, and this may occur while they are watching TV or playing video games, even if they have never had a seizure before.

Anyone who has had a seizure, loss of awareness or other symptom linked to an epileptic condition, should consult a doctor before playing a video game.

Parents should supervise children when playing video games. Stop playing immediately and consult a doctor if your child or you have any of the following symptoms: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, altered vision, involuntary movements, disorientation.

To reduce the probability of a seizure when playing video games:

• Sit or stand as far from the screen as possible.

• Play video games on the smallest available television screen.

• Do not play if you are tired or need sleep.

• Play in a well-lit room.

• Take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour.

Playing video games can make your muscles, joints, skin or eyes hurt. Follow these instructions to avoid problems such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, skin irritation or eyestrain:

• Avoid excessive play. Parents should monitor their children to ensure appropriate playing time.

• Take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour, even if you don’t think you need it.

• If your hands, wrists, arms or eyes become tired or sore while playing, or if you feel symptoms such as tingling, numbness, burning or stiffness, stop and rest for several hours before playing again.

• If you continue to have any of the above symptoms or other discomfort during or after play, stop playing and see a doctor.

 WARNING – PREGNANCY AND MEDICAL CONDITIONS

 CAUTION – MOTION SICKNESS

Playing video games can cause motion sickness in some players. Stop playing immediately if you experience dizziness, nausea, fatigue, motion sickness or similar symptoms, or if you experience discomfort in your eyes, hands or arms, or otherwise feel unwell at any time during game play. Do not drive or engage in other physical activity until you feel better.

 WARNING – RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE

The Wii console and Wii Remote Plus can emit radio waves that can affect the operation of nearby electro- nics, including cardiac pacemakers.

• Do not operate the Wii console or Wii Remote Plus within 25 cm (10 inches) of a pacemaker.

• If you have a pacemaker or other implanted medical device, do not use the Wii console or Wii Remote Plus without first consulting your doctor or the manufacturer of your medical device.

 WARNING – EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION

To comply with RF exposure compliance requirements, a separation distance of at least 20 cm must be maintained between the Wii console and all persons. This console must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

 CAUTION – LASER DEVICE

The Wii console is a Class I laser product. Do not attempt to disassemble the Wii console. Servicing of the product should be carried out by the Nintendo Service Centres only. CAUTION: Making any adjustments to or performing any procedures on the Wii console that are not detailed in this operations manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Specifications:

 CAUTION – BRIGHTNESS OF TV SCREEN

The brightness of the TV screen differs with each TV but can typically be adjusted. Always play games with the appropriate brightness setting. Excessive brightness or darkness can cause discomfort. If necessary, please refer to the instruction manual of your TV for guidance on how to adjust the brightness of your TV.

 WARNING – DANGEROUS PARTS FOR CHILDREN

Not suitable for children under 36 months of age – strangulation hazard. The Wii Remote wrist strap and the cord of the Nunchuk™ can coil around the neck. The protective film of the Sensor Bar consists of small parts and could be swallowed.

 CAUTION – USE THE WRIST STRAP

Always keep a firm grip on the Wii Remote Plus and use the wrist strap at all times when playing Wii games to help prevent losing your grip on the Wii Remote Plus and reduce the risk of causing damage to the Wii Remote Plus and surrounding objects, or injury to other people, should you accidentally let go of the Wii Remote Plus during game play. Please ensure there is sufficient distance from other people and objects when using the Wii Remote Plus to avoid colliding with other persons or things.

ALWAYS WEAR THE WRIST STRAP WHEN USING THE Wii REMOTE PLUS

• Make sure all players use the wrist strap and that the strap lock is correctly tightened.

• When sharing the Wii Remote Plus between multiple players, make sure that each person using the Wii Remote Plus uses the wrist strap properly.

• Wearing the wrist strap will help prevent the Wii Remote Plus from being thrown across the room or dropped if you accidentally let go of it during game play.

HOLD THE Wii REMOTE PLUS (AND THE NUNCHUK IF BEING USED) FIRMLY; DON’T LET GO,

AND DON’T USE EXCESSIVE MOTION DURING GAME PLAY

• Even while wearing the wrist strap, make sure you don’t let go of the Wii Remote Plus during game play.

• You should NEVER let go of the Nunchuk controller (if being used) or let it swing loose during game play.

• Follow the game instructions for releasing or letting go of on-screen objects like balls, swords and the like. Usually you do this by releasing or pushing a button on the Wii Remote Plus. You should NEVER let go of the Wii Remote Plus itself to perform a function in the game.

• If your handsbecomesweatyorwetfor any other reason, stop playing and dry your hands before continuing.

• The Wii Remote Plus responds to minor movements, so excessive or forceful actions are not necessary. We therefore recommend that you do not use excessive, rapid, violent or swinging motions as these might cause you to accidentally let go of the Wii Remote Plus and may break the wrist strap. This could result in injury to people nearby or cause damage to other objects or the Wii Remote Plus, should you lose your grip.

ALLOW ADEQUATE ROOM AROUND YOU DURING GAME PLAY

• You will probably move around while using the Wii Remote Plus, so be careful that the areas that you might move into are kept clear. Make sure that furniture, objects and other people who are out of the play area so that you do not accidentally bump into them while playing. Also, be careful of any objects above you (e.g. lamps) that you could collide with if you jump or raise your hands above your head. Of course, such movements are not necessary as the Wii Remote Plus reacts to minor motion. Remember to take extra care if you have low ceilings.

• For best results, stand between 1 and 3 metres away from the television when using the Wii Remote Plus.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR PARENTS

Before allowing any child to use the Wii console, a parent or other responsible adult should determine whether the Wii console is appropriate for the child. Only children who are old enough and capable of wearing the wrist strap and properly gripping the Wii Remote Plus should use the console. You should also consider whether children should be supervised while playing games, connecting to the internet, and/or downloading games. Be sure to explain all safety and health information and instructions to any children who are going to use the console. Failure to do so may result in injuries or damage to the console or other property.

SCREEN BURN-IN REDUCTION

When images are displayed in the same place for long periods of time, some television screens can suffer “scr

een burn-in”. (See page 20 in the Wii Operations Manual – System Setup, for more information on TV screen damage.) The Wii console has a SCREEN BURN-IN REDUCTION FEATURE. When activated, the Wii console will fade the screen when Wii software is paused for five or more minutes. (You can revert the screen to its original brightness by simply pressing any button on the Wii Remote Plus other than the POWER Button.)

You can turn Screen Burn-in Reduction ON or OFF by making your selection, then confirming it. NOTE: This Screen Burn-in Reduction feature will not work when playing some Wii software. To reduce the

risk of screen burn-in when you break from playing, we recommend pausing the game and turning the TV off until you are ready to play again. Your TV may also have its own screen burn-in reduction function that may fade back the screen imagery or darken it entirely. Please follow your TV manufacturer’s recommendations to avoid screen burn-in.

Before using your Wii console with any TV, especially front and rear projection 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.

SOUND

You can change the sound setting for your Wii output by selecting the MONO, STEREO or SURROUND options. Confirm your selection once it’s complete.

Wii PARENTAL CONTROLS

The Wii Parental Controls settings are included in the system setup. The Wii Parental Controls settings offer you a means to manage what Wii content is accessible to the console users. If you apply Parental Controls, you will be prompted to set a 4-digit PIN which will allow you to adjust the Parental Controls settings in the future, and also allow you to access content that may be restricted by the Parental Controls settings. The first time you select the Parental Controls option, the system will ask you to adjust the settings in order to specify which will be the HIGHEST GAME RATING ALLOWED. To customise the settings later, select the Wii icon from the Wii Menu and select Wii SETTINGS, then select PARENTAL CONTROLS. These are the features that are offered within Parental Controls:

• By applying Parental Controls settings you can restrict access to Wii software and related content according to the Pan European Game Information (PEGI) age rating system. Please see below for details of the PEGI age rating system.

The ’Online’ logo indicates that a game allows the player to have access to online game play with other players.

The PEGI system was established to help parents and guardians make informed decisions when buying computer and video games. It replaced a number of national age rating systems with a single system now used throughout most of Europe. For further information about PEGI visit http://www.pegi.info.

Note:The PEGI rating does not indicate difficulty of a game; it provides information about the age suitability of a game based on its

content.

• Online use of the Wii Message Board and access to certain user-generated content Restricts sending and receiving of messages from the Wii console and limits communication in online

games where open text and/or verbal communication is available. Also controls exchange of user created content in compatible games. Note that system updates will be delivered regardless of this setting.

• Access to the Internet Channel and viewing of certain content which is not subject to age rating If you have downloaded the Internet Channel (subject to availability) via the Wii Shop Channel, it is possible

to restrict use of the browser and viewing of content which is not subject to game rating.

• Use of the News Channel Controls access to the News Channel.

If Parental Controls are applied and a user attempts to play or download content that exceeds the Parental Controls setting, the user will be prompted to enter the Parental Controls PIN to temporarily disable the Parental Controls. The PIN will be necessary each time a user tries to access restricted content.

You will be prompted to select and answer a secret question that will allow you to retrieve a forgotten Parental Controls PIN. If you forget your PIN, please follow the prompts on-screen to answer your secret question. If you are unable to retrieve your PIN by answering your secret question, please call the Nintendo Service Centre.

Important Privacy Information

Through your Wii console you will be able to participate in a variety of games and activities, some of which will be online. In order to protect your privacy and that of your family when using your Wii console, we strongly recommend the following:

PARENTS PLEASE READ: PROTECTING YOUR CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

• Before allowing your children to use the Wii console, we highly recommend that you educate them on the importance of not sharing any personal information about themselves with strangers. Instruct your children to not use personal information for any nicknames on your Wii console, user names in chat rooms, names for Mii characters or for any other services offered through the Wii console. Explain to them the danger of receiving messages from, or communicating with, strangers.

• You should supervise your children’s use of the Wii console at all times and assist them with the setup of the Wii console. If at any time you want to stop your children’s use of online or interactive features of the Wii console, you can simply use the Parental Controls settings for your Wii console to restrict use of the Wii online services as explained on page 49.

PROTECTING THE PRIVACY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WHEN USING THE Wii CONSOLE

• Never give out personal information about yourself such as your first or last name, phone number, date of birth, age, e-mail or home address when communicating with strangers or using any services offered on your Wii console.

• If you decide to provide personal information to any third party website, the sharing of such information will be subject to the privacy policy of that company, not Nintendo’s privacy policy. Be cautious before providing any personal information to any third party through the online services offered on your Wii console.

• Your Wii console may store certain personal information on your Wii Remote Plus so please note that by using your Wii Remote Plus on a Wii console other than your own, it is possible that certain personal information about you could be shared with that other Wii console.

• Some data such as data of downloaded games (purchase history), Wii Points (point purchase history), game scores etc. are stored directly on your Wii System Memory. In order to repair or exchange a defective Wii console or to correct any Wii Shop Channel download transaction, please contact your Nintendo Service Centre. For the purpose of repairs or correction of download transactions, a technician may need to access the data stored on your Wii System Memory.

Sensor Bar

When positioning the Sensor Bar, you may need to adjust two key settings. Select SENSOR BAR POSITION or SENSITIVITY, then proceed with the following instructions.

SENSOR BAR POSITION

You’ll want to adjust this setting to match where you’ve placed your Wii’s Sensor Bar: ABOVE TV or BELOW TV scr

een. Confirm your selection once

it’s complete.

SENSITIVITY

Use this feature to adjust the sensitivity of the pointer function of the Wii Remote Plus. If you find that you’re not getting an optimal pointing experience with the Wii Remote Plus, you may want to adjust this setting.

After you select SENSITIVITY fr

om the Sensor Bar Settings Screen, you’ll see

an Explanation Screen that further details the Sensitivity setting. Select OK to begin the adjustment test.

In the test, you’ll use the pointer to move a cursor into view within the test field. If you see two blinking dots, your current Sensitivity setting is working fine. If you don’t see two blinking dots, adjust the Sensitivity with the + and - Buttons until you do, then press the A Button to confirm your new setting.

• If you see three or more dots, the Wii Remote Plus may be sensing an extra light source. See Wii Remote Plus troubleshooting, pages 35 – 37 in the Wii Operations Manual – System Setup. NOTE: The initial recommended distance for using the pointer is 1.0 – 3.0 metres (3 to 8 feet) from the

Sensor Bar. By increasing the Sensitivity setting, you’ll increase the distance from which you can use the pointer. Also note that the influence of direct sunlight and various light sources can make the pointer operation less optimal.

Internet

You’ll probably want to set up your Wii console’s internet settings to work well with your home internet connection, whether you have a wireless broadband network or want to connect directly to your wired LAN network.

NOTE: When you connect your Wii to the internet, the Wii console and/or the Channels will be automatical- ly updated from time to time.

(Your modem or router must be turned on to receive information automatically.)

Country

You can change the country setting for your Wii console. Choose your country of residence.

ON/OFF

When WiiConnect24 is turned ON, your Wii console will automatically use its high-speed internet connection to accept data for a variety of services, includ ing posting messages on the Wii Message Board and receiving messages about new Wii featur

es. Turn WiiConnect24 OFF if you don’t want to receive

this information. Confirm your selection once it’s complete.

Information stored in the Wii Shop Channel, including records of your transactions and rights to downloaded software, will not be cleared by this option. This means that you can redownload your previously downloaded software without using any Wii Points.

NOTE: When the Wii System Memory is formatted, the “Wii – See what you can do on the internet“ video will be erased and cannot be recovered or redownloaded.

To remove your Wii Shop Channel Account and clear information stored in the Wii Shop Channel, including your currently registered Wii Points and downloaded software, please follow the instructions below for deleting Wii Shop Channel Account activity and licences. Remember that once software is deleted, you will not be able to download it again unless you use additional Wii Points.
