Sensor Bar Placement Guidelines
Using the Wii Remote Jacket
• Be sure that the Wii Remote Jacket is installed prior to gameplay to reduce the risk of harm to
the remote, surrounding objects, or people�
Center the sensor bar with the
TV screen, facing straight ahead�
• Do not place the sensor bar over air
vents on the TV�
It might be necessary to remove the Wii Remote Jacket - for example, to replace the batteries in

strap out�
Place the sensor bar to slightly
overhang the front surface of
the TV screen�
Place the sensor bar on the
same surface as the TV�
Pull the jacket up to expose the entire
battery cover and remove the cover�
Recommended Play Environment
For the best results when using the Wii Remote controller:
• The front of the sensor bar should be directly in front
of you and clearly visible
Insert the batteries, negative (–) end
first� When removing batteries, remove
the positive (+) end first�
• Avoid blocking the signal between the remote and the
console or sensor bar
• Sit (or stand) directly in front of the TV, between 3 and
10 feet (1-3m) away
• Avoid bright light sources behind or near the TV
If the Wii Remote is not operating properly, see Wii
Remote and Sensor Bar in System Settings on the Wii U
Menu to make adjustments, or review “Wii Remote
Controllers” in Troubleshooting (p� 53)�

Transferring System Data
Transfer Procedure
You can transfer software, saved game data, and other
data from your Wii console to your Wii U consoleꢀ
IMPORTANT: To avoid loss of data or damage to your
system or components, do not remove the SD Card,
turn off the console, or unplug the AC adapter during
the transfer process.
In addition to the Wii U system, you will need the
following items before transferring:
An operational Wii system and two Wii Remote
controllers—one paired with the Wii console and one
paired with the Wii U console (p� 24)ꢀ
Both systems must be connected to a TVꢀ If both systems
are connected to the same TV, you will need to switch
between the two systems as you go through the transfer
stepsꢀ There are two ways this can be done:
•
An SD or SDHC Memory Card (with at least 512 MB of
free space)
•
• Use the input select of the TV to switch between the two systems; or
A broadband Internet connection (both systems must be connected to the Internet)
• Plug the standard AV cable that came with your Wii console into your TV and swap the cable
between the two systems during the transfer processꢀ (Swap the cables at the same time you
are swapping the SD Cardꢀ)
•
• See the Wii Operations Manual - Channels & Settings for details on Internet connections
for the Wii consoleꢀ
See the illustration below for the transfer procedure and follow the on-screen instructionsꢀ Use
the Wii Remote controller for navigating the screen and making selectionsꢀ
IMPORTANT: Transferred data is permanently deleted from the Wii console. Once you have
transferred data to the Wii U console, it cannot be transferred back to a Wii console. Data
cannot be transferred from your Wii U console to a Wii console.
Data You Can Transfer
You can transfer the following data onlyꢀ All data that can be transferred will be transferred at
one time, so you are unable to select which data to transferꢀ
