Wii Console Usage Precautions

Please read and follow the precautions listed below when

setting up and using the Wii console. Failure to do so

may result in damage to your Wii system or accessories.

• Do not use any AC Adapter other than the one provided with your system.

• The console has intake and exhaust vents designed to maintain adequate ventilation. Do not operate the console in any location where these vents may become covered or obstructed, for example, on carpet or in a tightly enclosed space. Keep vents clear of any dust or other foreign material.

• Do not disassemble or try to repair the Wii console, accessories or components. Doing so voids your warranty.

• After you have ﬁnished playing, be sure to remove the Game Disc from the console.

• Do not store the Wii console in a humid place, on the ﬂoor, or in any location where it may collect dirt, dust, lint, etc.

• Do not drop, hit or otherwise abuse the Wii console, components or accessories.

• When disconnecting any plugs from the console or wall outlet, ﬁrst turn the Wii console off. Then carefully pull by the plug itself rather than by the cord.

• Do not step on, sharply pull or bend any wire or cables.

• Do not expose the Wii console, components or accessories to extreme heat or cold.

• Do not spill any liquids on the Wii console, components or accessories. To clean, use a soft slightly damp cloth. Use water only. Allow to dry completely before using.

Wii Console Placement

NOTE: Choose a location to set up the console that has enough room to allow for free ﬂow of ventilation around the console.

The Wii console can be placed in a vertical or horizontal position. If located in a vertical position, it should be placed in the Wii console stand.

Vertical Horizontal

CAUTION - Console Damage

The console can be damaged if knocked over, especially if this occurs during operation of the disk drive. The Wii stand plate has been included to increase

stability of the Wii console, and should be used if the console is placed in a vertical position.

Vertical Placement (NOTE: These components come already assembled. If they become separated, see instructions below to reattach.)

1. Attach the Wii stand plate to the bottom of the console stand by inserting the prongs into the slots as shown above.

2. Firmly slide the stand plate into slots in the direction shown.

3. Place the console stand on a ﬂat surface and place the console into the stand. Lower the console

straight down into the console stand rather than sliding it in from the front.

Horizontal Placement

Place the Wii console on a ﬂat horizontal surface. Retain the Wii console stand and stand plate for future use in case you want to switch the orientation of the console.

System Setup

Connecting the AV Cable

Wii Console TV Inputs

1. Insert the AV Multi Out plug on the Wii AV Cable into the AV Multi Out connector on the back of the console.

IMPORTANT: The Wii console will not work with any AV cable other than the model supplied with your Wii system or the component video cable listed below.

NOTE: For higher quality video, the Wii component video cable (Model No. RVL–011) can be ordered through Nintendo’s web site at support.nintendo.com (USA/Canada only) or by calling Customer Service at 1-800-255-3700. Before ordering, check to make sure your TV has component video inputs.

2. Insert the RCA plugs on the Wii AV Cable into the input connectors on the TV, VCR or other audio equipment.

CAUTION - TV Screen Damage

Some televisions can be damaged by the display of a stationary image, because the image may be permanently "burned" into the screen. Playing video games with stationary images or patterns, or leaving video games on hold or pause, may lead to this type of damage. When taking a break, place the game on pause and turn the TV off until you are ready to play again.

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.

System Setup

Synchronizing Your Wii Remote with the Wii Console

This procedure allows the remote to communicate with the console.

The Wii Remote 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 with your console.

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 remote. Once synchronized, the remote will stay synced to the console unless you overwrite this setting by syncing the remote to a different console.

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 in Standard Mode can turn the console power ON or OFF.

Standard Mode Synchronization

NOTE: Make sure you have placed batteries in the Wii Remote.

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

2. Remove the battery cover on the back of the remote. Press and release the SYNC. button inside the cover. The Player LEDs will blink.

3. Open the SD Card Slot cover on the front of the Wii console. Press and release the SYNC. button on the inside of the compartment

4. When the Player LED blinking stops, connection is complete. The LED that is illuminated indicates the player number.

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

NOTE: This image shows the Wii Remote with the Wii MotionPlus accessory removed.

One Time Mode Synchronization

NOTE: This mode temporarily removes the Standard Mode synchronization setup for all 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 remote that is synchronized with the console.

2. Select the Wii Remote Settings option from the Home Button menu, then select the Reconnect option.

3. Press the 1 and 2 Buttons simultaneously on the remote that you want to synchronize with the console.

The order in which you synchronize remotes will set the player order for multiplayer games.

4. The Player LEDs will blink during the syncing process. When the blinking stops, the connection is complete. See diagram at right for a description of what the blinking indicates.

During the syncing process, the number of LEDs that blink will show
