System Setup
Setup of the Wii Remote
The remote uses AA batteries. Nintendo recommends high quality alkaline batteries
for best performance and longevity of battery life.
Leakage of battery acid can cause personal injury as well as damage to your remote.
If battery leakage occurs, thoroughly wash the affected skin and clothes. Keep battery
acid away from your eyes and mouth. Leaking batteries may make popping sounds.
To avoid battery leakage:
• Do not mix used and new batteries (replace all batteries at the same time).
• Do not mix different brands of batteries.
• Nintendo recommends alkaline batteries. Do not use lithium ion, nickel cadmium
(nicad), or carbon zinc batteries.
• Do not leave batteries in the remote for long periods of non-use.
• Do not recharge the batteries.
• Do not put the batteries in backwards. Make sure that the positive (+) and
negative (-) ends are facing in the correct directions. Insert the negative end first.
When removing batteries, remove the positive end first.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
Installing Batteries
1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the Wii Remote and insert two AA
batteries.
2. Be sure to insert the minus (–) end first when inserting new batteries, and remove
the plus (+) end first when replacing the batteries.
3. Replace the battery cover.
Wearing the Wii Remote Wrist Strap
1. Place your hand through the wrist strap and hold the remote firmly in your hand.
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.
WARNING - Battery Leakage
Wii gameplay with the Wii Remote can involve rapid or vigorous motion.
Please use the wrist strap to prevent losing your grip on the remote and causing
damage to the remote or surrounding objects, or injury to other people.
WEAR THE WRIST STRAP WHEN USING THE Wii REMOTE.
• Make sure all players use the wrist strap and that the strap lock is correctly tightened.
• When sharing the Wii Remote between multiple players, make sure each person
uses the wrist strap properly.
• Wearing the wrist strap will prevent you from accidentally dropping or throwing the
remote during gameplay, which could damage the remote or surrounding objects,
or cause injury to other people.
DO NOT LET GO OF THE REMOTE DURING GAME PLAY.
• Read the Instruction booklet for the game you are playing and follow all game
control instructions for correct use of the Wii Remote or accessory controllers.
• Hold the remote securely and avoid excessive motion, as it may cause you to let go
of the remote and may break the wrist strap.
• If your hands become moist, stop and dry your hands.
ALLOW ADEQUATE ROOM AROUND YOU DURING GAME PLAY.
• Stay at least three (3) feet away from the television.
• As you may move around during gameplay, make sure objects and other people are
out of your range of movement or arm motion to prevent damage or injury.
CAUTION - Use the Wrist Strap
TV and Audio/Video Settings
After you have completed all steps of the setup procedure and are ready to

setting for your TV, VCR or other audio equipment.
1. Turn ON the power for your TV and any audio equipment connected to your
gameplay setup and the power on the Wii console.
2. Select the correct input setting for your TV (see Input Select Information below).
3. The Wii Menu should appear on the TV screen. See the Channel section of the
Operations Manual for more information on this feature.
If the Wii Menu screen does not appear, check to make sure your input setting is
correct and review the Troubleshooting section on pages 31-32.
