System Setup System Setup Synchronizing Your Wii Remote with the Wii Console This procedure allows the remote to communicate with the console. The Wii Remote included with your Wii system has been synchronized with the console at the factory. There are two different modes of synchronizing (syncing) a Wii Remote with your console. STANDARD MODE - The Standard Mode procedure is used when adding additional Wii Remotes to your system or if you want to re-synchronize your original remote. Once synchronized, the remote will stay synced to the console unless you overwrite this setting by syncing the remote to a different console. ONE TIME MODE - This mode allows you to temporarily use your remote on a console other than your own or to use a friends remote on your console. It does not delete the Standard Mode setting stored in the remote. In this mode, the remote will only communicate with the console while the power is on. When the power is turned off the remote will lose its sync with the console. • Only a Wii Remote in Standard Mode can turn the console power ON or OFF. Standard Mode Synchronization NOTE: Make sure you have placed batteries in the Wii Remote. 1. Press the Power button on the Wii console to turn it on. 2. Remove the battery cover on the back of the remote. Press and release the SYNC. button inside the cover. The Player LEDs will blink. 3. Open the SD Card Slot cover on the front of the Wii console. Press and release the SYNC. button on the inside of the compartment 4. When the Player LED blinking stops, connection is complete. The LED that is illuminated indicates the player number. This procedure must be followed for each additional Wii Remote added to your system. NOTE: This image shows the Wii Remote with the Wii MotionPlus accessory removed. 24 One Time Mode Synchronization NOTE: This mode temporarily removes the Standard Mode synchronization setup for all remotes until the power of the Wii console is turned off. When the power is turned back on again, the Standard Mode settings will return. 1. Press the HOME Button on a remote that is synchronized with the console. 2. Select the Wii Remote Settings option from the Home Button menu, then select the Reconnect option. 3. Press the 1 and 2 Buttons simultaneously on the remote that you want to synchronize with the console. The order in which you synchronize remotes will set the player order for multiplayer games. During the syncing process, the number of LEDs that blink will show MORE Battery Life LESS the battery life of the remote that is being synchronized. After the syncing process, LED that is lit 1P 2P 3P 4P shows the player number for that remote. NOTE: One Time Mode synchronization is temporary. The Wii Remote will lose this synchronization under the following conditions: • When you turn off the console by pressing the Power Button on either the remote or the console. • When starting up a game or Channel from the Wii Menu. • When returning to the Wii Menu after exiting from a game or Channel. • When you select Reset on the HOME Menu screen. • When you press the Reset Button on the front of the console. 4.
