Wii Remote doesn't properly respond to player
motion
(erratic hand cursor, can't swing bat, can't bowl, etc.)
• If the lights on your remote blink, but do not stay lit, see the first troubleshooting
step on this page, at left.
• Review the Sensor Bar setup instructions in this manual to ensure proper
placement.
• Make sure no objects are blocking the signals between the Sensor Bar, the Wii
console, and the Wii Remote.
• Make sure batteries are not depleted.
• Use the Sensor Bar Stand if the Sensor Bar is located below under the TV.
• Check and adjust the Sensor Bar sensitivity if necessary. (See page 50 in the Wii
Operations Manual - Channels and Settings.)
The following conditions can interfere with the operation of the remote:
1. Using the remote too close or too far from the Sensor Bar. The optimal distance
is between 1 and 3 metres (3 to 10 feet).
2. Bright light sources, including sunlight, behind or near the TV, shining towards
the remote or reflecting off the TV screen.
3. Highly reflective surfaces near the sensor bar.
4. Sources of infrared light in the gameplay area such as electric, propane or
kerosene heaters, flames from fireplaces or candles, and stoves or other sources
of heat.
5. Radio frequency interference may cause the Wii Remote to work erratically.
Check for and move or turn off wireless devices such as cordless phones,
wireless computer keyboards or mice or other similar devices.
If you think any of these conditions are affecting the operation of the remote, try
removing or reducing the source of interference.
