Wii Console Usage Precautions
Please read and follow the precautions listed below when
setting up and using the Wii console. Failure to do so
may result in damage to your Wii system or accessories.
• Do not use any AC Adapter other than the one provided with your system.
• The console has intake and exhaust vents designed to maintain adequate
ventilation. Do not operate the console in any location where these vents may
become covered or obstructed, for example, on carpet or in a tightly enclosed
space. Keep vents clear of any dust or other foreign material.
• Do not disassemble or try to repair the Wii console, accessories or components.
• After you have finished playing, be sure to remove the Game Disc from the
console.
• Do not store the Wii console in a humid place, on the floor, or in any location
where it may collect dirt, dust, lint, etc.
• Do not drop, hit or otherwise abuse the Wii console, components or accessories.
• When disconnecting any plugs from the console or wall outlet, first turn the
Wii console off. Then carefully pull by the plug itself rather than by the cord.
• Do not step on, sharply pull or bend any wire or cables.
• Do not expose the Wii console, components or accessories to extreme heat or cold.
• Do not spill any liquids on the Wii console, components or accessories.
To clean, use a soft slightly damp cloth. Use water only. Allow to dry completely
before using.
