Recalibrating 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:
•Changing batteries in the Wii Remote Plus during gameplay.
•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. 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.
