Wearing the Wii Remote Wrist Strap
TV and Audio/Video Settings
After you have completed all steps of the setup procedure and are ready to
use the Wii system, you will need to set the appropriate "input select"
setting for your TV, VCR or other audio equipment.
Setup of the Wii Remote
The remote uses AA batteries. Nintendo recommends high quality alkaline batteries
for best performance and longevity of battery life.
CAUTION - Use the Wrist Strap
1. Place your hand through the wrist strap and hold the remote firmly in your hand.
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.
WARNING - Battery Leakage
1. Turn ON the power for your TV and any audio equipment connected to your
gameplay setup and the power on the Wii console.
WEAR THE WRIST STRAP WHEN USING THE Wii REMOTE.
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:
•
•
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.
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.
•
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 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.
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.
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.
DO NOT LET GO OF THE REMOTE DURING GAME PLAY.

1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the Wii Remote and insert two AA
batteries.
•
•
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.

Playing a Wii or Nintendo GameCube
Game Disc
Game Disc Usage Precautions
Please read and follow the precautions listed below when using Wii or
GameCube Game Discs in the Wii Console. Failure to do so may result in
damage to your Wii system or game discs.
Recommended distance: 3’– 10’
(from Sensor Bar to Wii Remote)
Before Inserting a Disc
•
To avoid pinching your finger, do not load the disc with your finger in the
hole. Always handle the disc by the edges.
Do not touch the bottom unprinted surface of the Game Disc. Always handle
the disc by the edges.
•
•
Turn ON the power for your TV and any audio equipment connected to your
gameplay setup.
Select the correct input setting for your TV. (See page 18, TV and Audio/Viedo
Settings.)

•
•
Do not use cracked, deformed or repaired discs.
Do not bend or put excessive pressure on discs when loading into console.
Do not leave discs in direct sunlight or expose them to high temperatures,
high humidity or dust, dirt or other contaminates.
When not using discs, store them in their cases to prevent them from getting
scratched, dirty or damaged.
Do not write on, or place stickers on any part of the disc.
If a disc becomes dirty or contaminated with fingerprints, the system may not
be able to read the game data correctly. If necessary, clean the disc with a
soft, slightly damp cotton cloth (use water only). Clean the disc from center
towards the edges; do not use a circular motion.
Insert a Game Disc
For best operation, play
directly in front of the TV.
•
Insert your Game Disc into the Game Disc slot on the front of the console. The Wii
console will turn ON automatically.
