Troubleshooting

If this accessory fails to operate, or operates incorrectly, follow the steps below before seeking assistance.

1. Either your voice or the other party’s voice cannot be heard.

• Make sure the USB connector is plugged in correctly on the back of the Wii console.

• Make sure you are using a game or Wii Channel that is compatible with this accessory.

• Review the manual and make sure the microphone is placed correctly.

• Make sure you are within 3 - 9 feet (1 - 3 meters) of the microphone.

• Check your Internet connections and make sure they are working correctly (check the Wii Operations Manual - Channels and Settings for information on Internet settings).

• Make sure the LED is lit blue when you are trying to speak - this indicates when communication is possible.

• Make sure the volume of the TV is not muted or set too low.

2. V

oices do not sound clear, have a buzzing sound, break up, or there is a lag in conversation.

• These conditions may be caused by a poor Internet connection or slow transmission speed and are not due to defects in the Wii Speak accessory.

3. Your voice can be heard through your television speakers.

• The other party may have the volume set too high. Try having them lower the volume of their TV.

• The other party should check their setup of the Wii Speak and make sure it is installed correctly.

• Make sure you are speaking in a normal voice.

4. The other party’s voices are too quiet.

• Make sure they are speaking in a normal voice.

• Make sure there is no air ﬂow, such as from a fan or air conditioner, near the microphone.

5. The sound coming from the speakers seems to have an echo.

• If you have surround sound or a home theater system, set your equipment to use stereo sound when using this accessory.

• If the person you are talking to is using a TV that has an automatic digital audio adjust feature, changing the audio setting on that TV may improve the sound.

NOTE: If the top of your television is too rounded or narrow to place the microphone, place it underneath the television and as far away from any audio speakers as possible.
