For best results, follow these guidelines:
Use the WaveBird and Receiver within 20 feet (6 meters) of each other. The effective range may vary depending on outside interference from radio frequency sources.
Avoid using the WaveBird around devices that may cause radio frequency interference such as cordless phones, microwave devices or wireless LANs (local area networks).
Change the channel settings on matching pairs of WaveBirds and Receivers if they seem to be working improperly.
Replace the batteries if the Power Indicator becomes dim.
Be sure to turn the Power Switch OFF when not using the WaveBird.
Troubleshooting
If you are having trouble getting the WaveBird Controller to work properly, try the following solutions before calling for service:
Make sure that the receiver is fully inserted into the correct controller socket on the front of the Nintendo GameCube.
Make sure that the power is ON, and that the Power Indicator is lit. If the power is ON but the Power Indicator is not lit or is dim, try installing fresh new batteries.
Make sure that the channel settings match for each pair of controllers/receivers that are connected to the console.
Try setting the controller/receiver to a different channel if the operation seems inconsistent or incorrect.
If you are using more than one set of controllers/receivers, make sure that they are not set to the same channel.
Reset the control stick/analog button alignment by following the procedure described earlier, if the game control seems inconsistent or incorrect.
Make sure you are 20 feet (6 meters) or less from the receiver.
Make sure when you are playing, that the top of the controller is pointed in the direction of the receiver.
Check for interference from radio frequency devices such as cordless phones, microwave devices, or wireless LANs (local area networks). Try removing the source of
interference or move the game system away from any potential interference or try turning off the source of interference if possible. Try changing the channel settings on the
controller/receiver pair.
