Pairing Controllers
Before using a Wii U GamePad, Wii U Pro Controller, or Wii Remote controllers, they must first be paired with the Wii U console. After pairing, you will be able to turn the console power on and off by pressing 
on the controller. See the information at the bottom of the page for specific information on pairing a Wii U GamePad.
•If you will be using Wii Remote controllers, you must first install the included sensor bar(p. 25). Some software titles do not require a Sensor bar.
•A controller must always be paired to the console you wish to use it with. If a controller has been paired to a different console, it will need to be paired again to any new console you wish to use it with.
•For the Wii Balance Board™, please see the instruction manual included with compatible software for pairing instructions.

Using Wii Remote Controllers
IMPORTANT: Before using Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus controllers, be sure to review Health and Safety Information on the Wii U Menu.
To use software that is compatible with Wii Remote controllers, you must first install the included sensor bar as described below. (Some software titles do not require a sensor bar.)
Installing the Sensor Bar
Connect the sensor bar to the Wii U console.
NOTE: If you already have a sensor bar installed for a Wii console, you can switch it to the Wii U console, rather than installing an additional one.
Remove the protective film from the foam pads on the bottom of the sensor bar.
Place the sensor bar above or below the TV screen.
See sensor bar Placement Guidelines on the next page for reference.
If you place your sensor bar under the TV screen:
On the Wii U Menu in System Settings, select Wii Remote and Sensor Bar, Set Sensor Bar Position, and set the position of the sensor bar to Below the TV. (This is necessary for proper operation of the Wii Remote controllers.)
