Using Wii Remote Controllers
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�
It might be necessary to remove the Wii Remote Jacket - for example, to replace the batteries in
the Wii Remote controller� If you do remove the Wii Remote Jacket, be sure to put it back on
before further play�
Installing Batteries in the Wii Remote Pull the jacket from the base of
the controller and pull the wrist
strap out�
Pull the jacket up to expose the entire
battery cover and remove the cover�
Insert the batteries, negative (–) end
first� When removing batteries, remove
the positive (+) end first�
Replace the battery cover and pull the
wrist strap back through the hole in the
bottom of the jacket� Pull the jacket
back over the base of the controller�
Sensor Bar Placement Guidelines
Center the sensor bar with the
TV screen, facing straight ahead�
• Do not place the sensor bar over air
vents on the TV�
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�
Recommended Play EnvironmentFor 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
• 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
