Wii Remote Plus
Remote Plus and pull the

out of the hole in the bottom
of the jacket.

expose the entire battery
cover and remove the bat-
tery cover.

in the bottom of the jacket
and pull the jacket back
over the bottom of the Wii

Always keep a firm grip on the Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuk (if being used). Use the Wii Remote wrist
strap at all times to prevent losing your grip on the Wii Remote Plus and possibly causing damage to the
Wii Remote Plus and surrounding objects, or injury to other people. Please ensure there is sufficient distance
from other people and objects when playing Wii games. Stop playing and dry your hands if they become
sweaty or wet. The Wii Remote Plus responds to minor movements so do not use excessive, rapid or wide
swinging motions.
ALWAYS WEAR THE WRIST STRAP WHEN USING THE Wii REMOTE PLUS
• Make sure all players use the wrist strap and that the strap lock is correctly tightened.
• When sharing the Wii Remote Plus between multiple players, make sure that each person using the
Wii Remote Plus uses the wrist strap properly.
• Wearing the wrist strap will help prevent the Wii Remote Plus from being thrown across the room or dropped
if you accidentally let go of it during game play.
HOLD THE Wii REMOTE PLUS (AND THE NUNCHUK IF BEING USED) FIRMLY; DON'T LET GO,
AND DON'T USE EXCESSIVE MOTION DURING GAME PLAY
