GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CHARGING STATION This charging station uses a new "Contactless" technology (that is to say, with no connectors) to charge your Wii Remotes™: * With or without the official silicone protectors * With or without the Wii MotionPlus™ accessory

Once you have installed the rechargeable batteries and your Nintendo® Wii™ console, just place your Wii Remotes™ on the base to charge them!

INSTALLING THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY

- Remove your Wii Remote™'s original battery compartment cover and batteries (Make sure to keep the original battery compartment cover in a safe place, so you don't lose it!). - Insert the rechargeable battery (1) into the battery compartment on your Wii Remote™.

The rechargeable battery is now properly installed!

INSTALLING THE NINTENDO® WII™ CONSOLE ON THE CHARGING STATION

- Position the Nintendo® Wii™ console in its dedicated spot in the middle of the charging station (5). - Slide the console towards the back of the charging station, so that the attachment system (3) will be positioned underneath the corresponding spot on the console.

Once the console is properly positioned, you will hear and feel a slight "click", and your console will be secured in place.

- Connect the charging station's USB connector (4) to one of the 2 USB ports the back of your Nintendo® Wii™ console.

When the connection is made, the charging station's 2 charge level LEDs (6) light up very briefly to indicate that the unit is functioning properly.

The charging station is now operational, and is ready for your Wii Remotes™!

CHARGING YOUR WII REMOTES™ ON THE CHARGING STATION

- Simply place your Wii Remote™ on one of the charging cradles (2) (with the pointer positioned towards the front, and trigger B positioned in the corresponding indentation (7) on the cradle).

Once the Wii Remote™ is properly positioned, the corresponding charge level LED lights up in blue and charging begins.

CHARGE LEVEL LEDs (6) ON THE CHARGING STATION

- The left LED indicates the charge level of the Wii Remote™ located on the left. - The right LED indicates the charge level of the Wii Remote™ located on the right. • BLUE LED = the Wii Remote™'s battery is charging. • GREEN LED = the Wii Remote™'s battery is fully charged. Approximate charging time: roughly 8 to 10 hours for 2 Wii Remotes™ Average battery life: 12 to 15 hours per Wii Remote™ per charge, depending on the type of use

- The station will only charge if the rechargeable battery has been properly installed in the Wii Remote™, and the Wii Remote™ is properly positioned in its charging cradle. - To charge the Wii Remotes™, your Nintendo® Wii™ console must be in "Active mode" or "Standby mode": • •

Active mode: LED on Wii™ is GREEN Standby mode: LED on Wii™ is ORANGE

(= this requires that you enable "WiiConnect24" mode on your console. Please refer to the operating instructions for your Nintendo® Wii™ console for information on how to enable this mode.)

- To charge your Wii Remotes™, the charging station can also be connected to any other device featuring a self-powered USB port.

- As a result of the unit’s "Contactless" technology (with no connectors), the back of your Wii Remote™ (or of your silicone protector) and the charging cradle on the station will both be slightly warm to the touch once charging is complete. This is absolutely normal, and poses no risk to either the user or the hardware. The temperature will automatically cool down and return to normal in a few seconds. TROUBLESHOOTING The charge level LEDs will not light up, and the rechargeable batteries will not charge, if: - The rechargeable batteries are improperly inserted in the Wii Remotes™. - The Nintendo® Wii™ console is disabled, unplugged or improperly connected (= if the Wii™ console's LED is OFF or RED). - The charging station's USB connector (4) is improperly connected at the back of the Wii™ console.
