IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WHEN USING THE Wii SYSTEM

Before setup and use of the Wii system, please review this safety information to insure an enjoyable and safe play experience.

• Make sure all players use the wrist strap and that the strap lock is correctly tightened.
• When sharing Wii Remote accessories 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 game play, which could
  damage the remote or surrounding objects, or cause injury to other people.

2. 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 Plus 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.

3. ALLOW ADEQUATE ROOM AROUND YOU DURING GAME PLAY.

• Stay at least three (3) feet away from the television.
• As you may move around during game play, make sure objects and other people are out of your range of movement or arm motion to prevent damage or injury.

Wii Remote Plus Features

The Wii Remote Plus controller incorporates the technology of the Wii MotionPlus™ accessory, allowing more precise and detailed control of gameplay. The Wii Remote Plus is compatible with both standard Wii games and all Wii MotionPlus games, without having to attach the Wii MotionPlus accessory.

- Some software may require additional accessories.

NOTE: The Wii MotionPlus accessory can be attached to the Wii Remote Plus without damaging it or effecting its operation, however this is unnecessary and will not provide any additional features or benefit when using the Wii Remote Plus.

- If the cursor on the TV screen moves even if the Wii Remote Plus is not being moved, or moves differently than when the Wii Remote Plus is moved, the remote may need to be recalibrated due to the following:

1. Changing batteries in the Wii Remote Plus during gameplay.
2. Moving the Wii Remote Plus from a cold environment into a warm environment.

To recalibrate the Wii Remote Plus, place it on a flat horizontal surface with the buttons facing down. It should be 20" or more from your television and Wii console for correct calibration. Wait for a few seconds and check the operation. Also, review the instruction manual for the game you are playing for more information.

NOTE: This procedure must be done during gameplay.

Setup of the Wii Remote Plus

The Wii Remote Plus comes with the Wii Remote Jacket installed.

• Be sure that the Wii Remote Jacket is installed during gameplay to reduce the risk of harm to the remote, surrounding objects, or people.
• It may be necessary to remove the Wii Remote Jacket - for example, to replace the batteries in the Wii Remote Plus. If you do remove the Wii Remote Jacket, be sure to replace it before further play.
