Pairing Controllers; Other Controllers; Pairing A Wii U Gamepad - Nintendo wii u Operation Manual

Pairing Controllers

Controllers such as the separately-sold Wii Remote must be paired with the Wii U console before use. Once a
controller has been paired, you can use the POWER Button on that controller to turn the Wii U console on and
off.
· A sensor bar
(p. 17) is required in order to use Wii Remotes (except for certain software titles).
· If you pair a controller with one Wii U console and then wish to use it with another console, you must pair the controller
with that console first. The same applies if you wish to use a Wii-compatible controller with a Wii™ console once it is paired
with the Wii U console.
· To pair a Wii Balance Board™, refer to the manual for the software that supports it.
Pairing Wii Remotes and Other Controllers
To pair controllers such as Wii Remotes, press the SYNC Button on the
Wii U console (once) while the Wii U Menu is displayed. You can then
pair controllers by following the instructions on the TV screen and
pressing the SYNC Button on the controller.
· You can pair up to a total of ten controllers (this number does not include
the Wii U GamePad). Once you exceed this limit, existing controller pairings
will be deleted, starting from the oldest pairing.
Once pairing has completed, a Player LED on the controller
will light up. The Player LED that lights up indicates the player
number assigned to that controller.
