Console Setup and Connection Guidelines

Please use the following guidelines when setting up your system. After setup is complete, be sure to

select (Health & Safety Information) on the WiiU Menu to read important information about proper
use of the Wii U system and components.

• 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 store the Wii U console in a humid place, on the floor, or in any location where it may collect

dirt, dust, lint, etc.

• Make sure all connections to the system are made carefully and inserted into the correct locations only.

Hold plugs straight when inserting them into sockets. Make sure that the AC-adapter plug is completely
inserted into the wall outlet.

• When disconnecting any plugs from the console or wall outlet, first turn the Wii U console off. Then

carefully pull by the plug itself rather than by the cord.

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

• Do not locate the console on top of other AV equipment.
