    Wii mini Console Usage Precautions
    Please read and follow the precautions listed below when
    setting up and using the Wii mini 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 console, accessories or components. 
      Doing so voids your warranty.
    •  After you have finished playing, be sure to remove the Game Disc from the
     console.
    •  Do not store the 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 console, components or accessories.
    •  When disconnecting any plugs from the console or wall outlet, first turn the 
      Wii mini 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 console, components or accessories to extreme heat or cold.
    •  Do not spill any liquids on the console, components or accessories.  
      To clean, use a soft slightly damp cloth. Use water only. Allow to dry completely  
      before using.
    Wii mini Console Placement
    Place the Wii mini console on a flat horizontal surface. 
    NOTE: Choose a location to set up the console that has enough room to 
    allow for free flow of ventilation around the console.

    Connecting the AV Cable
    IMPORANT: The Wii mini console will not work with any AV cable other 
    than the model supplied. CAUTION - TV Screen Damage
    Some televisions can be damaged by the display of a stationary image, because the image 
    may be permanently “burned” into the screen. Playing video games with stationary images 
    or patterns, or leaving video games on hold or pause, may lead to this type of damage. When 
    taking a break, place the game on pause and turn the TV off until you are ready to play again.
    Before using your Wii system with any TV, especially front and rear projection or 
    plasma models, be sure to review all documentation included with your TV to find 
    out whether video games can be played on the TV without damaging it.
    If in doubt, contact the manufacturer of the TV. Neither Nintendo nor any of Nintendo’s 
    licensees will be liable for any damage to your TV.

     Input Select Information
    The input select allows you to switch between the different inputs on your TV or VCR.
    Manufacturers of TVs and VCRs use different names and locations for “input select.” 
    The common names for the input select are: input, select, input select, line, line in, 
    source, in, EXT, and AUX. Consult your TV or VCR instruction manual for details.  
    NOTE: More information on “Input Select” is available on our web site at  
    support.nintendo.com/consumer/inputselects.html

    the TV or VCR). The most common locations for input select are: 
    • A button on the front of the TV or VCR.  
    •  A button on the remote control.  
    •  A high-numbered or low numbered channel (92, 99, 00, or 02) on the TV or VCR.  
    •  An on-screen menu selection.
    TV and Audio/Video Settings
    After you have completed all steps of the setup procedure and are ready to 
    use the Wii system, you will need to set the appropriate “input select”  
    setting for your TV, VCR or other audio equipment.
    1. Turn ON the power for your TV and any audio equipment connected to your
      gameplay setup and the power on the Wii mini console.
    2.  Select the correct input setting for your TV (see Input Select Information at right).
    3.  The Wii Menu (see below) should appear on the TV screen. See the e-manual   
      for more information on this feature.
    If the Wii Menu screen does not appear, check to make sure your input setting is 
    correct and review the Troubleshooting section on page 27.

    WARNING - Battery Leakage
    Setup of Wii Remote Plus
    The Wii Remote™ Plus comes with the Wii Remote jacket installed.
    •	 Be	sure	that	the	Wii	Remote	jacket	is	installed	during	gameplay	to	reduce	 	
      the risk of harm to the remote, surrounding objects, or people. 
    •	 It	may	be	necessary	to	remove	the	 Wii	Remote	jacket	–	for	example,	to		 	
      replace the batteries in the Wii Remote Plus. If you do remove the Wii   
      Remote jacket, be sure to replace it before further play.
    Wii Remote Jacket
     Installing Batteries
    The Wii Remote Plus uses AA batteries.  Nintendo recommends high quality alkaline 
    batteries for best performance and longevity of battery life. If you use rechargeable 
    nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s 
    guidelines for safety and proper usage.
    Leakage of battery fluid can cause personal injury as well as damage to your remote. 
    If battery leakage occurs, thoroughly wash the affected skin and clothes. Keep battery 
    fluid away from your eyes and mouth. Leaking batteries may make popping sounds.  
    To avoid battery leakage:
    • Do not mix used and new batteries (replace all batteries at the same time).  
    •  Do not mix different brands of batteries.  
    •  Nintendo recommends alkaline batteries. Do not use Lithium ion, nickel cadmium   
      (nicad), or carbon zinc batteries.  
    •  Do not leave batteries in the remote for long periods of non-use.  
    •  Do not recharge alkaline or non-rechargeable batteries.  
    •  Do not put the batteries in backwards. Make sure that the positive (+) and  
      negative (-) ends are facing in the correct directions. Insert the negative end first.    
      When removing batteries, remove the positive end first.  
    •  Do not use damaged, deformed or leaking batteries.  
    •  Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. 1.
     Pull the Wii Remote jacket 
    off the base of the Wii 
    Remote Plus and pull the 
    wrist strap out of the hole 
    in the bottom of the jacket.
    2.  Pull the jacket up the remote far 
    enough to expose the entire  
    battery cover and remove the cover.
    3.  Insert the batteries into the battery 
    chamber. Be sure to insert the 
    minus (–) end first when inserting 
    new batteries, and remove the  
    plus (+) end first when replacing 
    the batteries. 4.
     Replace the battery cover, thread 
    the wrist strap through the hole in 
    the bottom of the jacket and pull 
    the jacket back over the bottom of 
    the remote.
    5.  If you remove the jacket from the 
    remote, replace it by inserting the 
    top of the remote into the large 
    hole on the front of the jacket.  
    Be sure to push it all the way into 
    the inside of the jacket.
    6.  Thread the wrist strap throught 
    hole in the bottom of the jacket,  
    as shown in step 4, above.
    7.  Insert the connector cover into the 
    External Extension Connector on 
    the bottom of the remote.
    NOTE: Battery life can be checked by pressing the HOME Button.
