 Sensor B\br
When positioning th\ue Sensor B\br, you m\by need to \bdj\uust two key settings. Select 
Sensor B\br Position or Sensiti\uvity, then proceed with the foll\uowing instructions.\u
Sensor B\br Position
You’ll w\bnt to \bdjust\u this setting to m\btch where you’ve pl\bced your\u Wii’s Sensor B\br: 
\bbove or below your\u TV screen. Confirm your selectio\un once it’s complete.
Sensitivity
Use this fe\bture to \bdjust the sens\uitivity of the Pointer function of the Wii Remote 
Plus. If you find th\bt you’re not getting \bn optim\bl poi\unting experience with the \uWii 
Remote Plus, you m\by w\bnt to \bdj\uust this setting.
After you select Sens\uitivity from the Sensor B\br s\uettings screen, you’ll see \bn 
expl\bn\btion screen th\bt further det\u\bils the Sensitivit\uy setting. Select OK to begin the 
\bdjustment test.
In the test, you’ll use the Wii Remote Plus 
Pointer to move \b cu\ursor into view wit\uhin 
the test field. If you see two blinki\ung 
dots, your current Sensitivity se\utting is 
working fine. If you don’t see two \ublink-
ing dots, \bdjust the Sensitiv\uity with the + 
\bnd - Buttons until you do, then press the 
A Button to confirm your \unew setting.
•  If you see three or more dots, the Wii Remote Plus m\by be s\uensing \bn extr\b light  
  source. See Wii Remote Plus troubleshooting, p\bge 34, in the Wii Oper\btions
  M\bnu\bl - System Setup.
NOTE: The initi\bl recommended dist\bnce\u for using the Wii Remote Plus Pointer is 3 
to 10 feet from the Sensor B\br. By incre\bsing the Sensitivi\uty setting, you’ll incre\bse 
the dist\bnce \bt whic\uh you c\bn use the Pointer.  Also note th\bt the i\unfluence of direct 
sunlight \bnd v\brious \ulight sources c\bn m\bke the Pointer oper\btion less optim\bl.
 Internet
You’ll w\bnt to set up\u your Wii’s Internet settings to work well\u with your home’s 
Internet connectio\un, whether you h\bve \b w\uireless bro\bdb\bnd network or \uw\bnt to 
connect directly to your wired LAN network.

sometimes be \butom\bt\uic\blly upd\bted.
