Basic Operations - Nintendo Wii Balance Board Mode D'emploi

Placement of the Wii Balance Board
The Wii Balance Board should be located directly in front of your TV as shown below, with the Wii
Remote between 3 and 10 feet (1 and 3 meters) from the Sensor Bar. The Power Button faces away
from the TV.
FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES WHEN USING THE Wii BALANCE BOARD:
• Make sure you have adequate space between you and any other objects or people during gameplay.
Nintendo recommends at least 3 feet (1 meter).
• Place the board on a stable, flat, horizontal surface. Avoid slippery surfaces.
• The balance sensors must contact the floor directly for proper operation. If carpet or other material
contacts the bottom of the board, use the included foot extensions. See page 10 for installation
instructions.
IMPORTANT: The Wii Balance Board will not work until it has been synchronized with
your Wii console. See pages 7-8 for further information and instructions.

Synchronizing the Wii Balance Board with your Wii Console
5. Press the SYNCHRO Button (SYNC.) on the Wii Balance Board.
The Power LED on the board will start blinking (for up to
about 20 seconds).
6. Press the SYNCHRO Button (SYNC.) on the console while the
Power LED on the board is blinking.
IMPORTANT: Do not press and hold the SYNCHRO Button
on the Wii console down for more than 10 seconds. This
will delete all of the Standard Mode synchronization
information for all Wii Remotes that you use with that
console.
7. The Power LED will stop blinking and light steadily once the synchronization is complete. You are
now ready to play the Wii Balance Board compatible Game Disc. Please refer to the instruction
booklet for the Game Disc you are using for further information on gameplay.
NOTE:
• Only one Wii Balance Board can be synchronized to a Wii console at a time. Up to a total of
10 Wii Remotes and accessories can be synchronized to a console at any time with the
Standard Mode procedure. If additional synchronizations are made, the oldest existing
ones will be overwritten.
• The Wii Balance Board can only be synchronized to one console at a time using the
Standard Mode procedure. If you change the console you are using the board with, you
will have to repeat the synchronization procedure each time.
• The Wii Balance Board uses the Player 4 (P4) connection. If a Wii Remote is actively using
P4, that remote will be disconnected while the board is being used.
Synchronizing the Wii Balance Board with your Wii Console
IMPORTANT: To operate correctly, the Wii Balance Board must be synchronized with the Wii
console using Standard Mode Synchronization. Follow the steps below to synchronize the board to
the console.
• This procedure must be followed for each Wii Balance Board compatible Game Disc.
• These synchronization settings will be saved even if the console is turned off.
• This procedure can be completed only if a compatible Game Disc is running in the console.
1. Press the EJECT Button on the front of the Wii console and remove any game disc if necessary. Insert
a Wii Balance Board compatible Game Disc.
2. Use the Wii Remote to select the Disc Channel on the Wii Menu screen and select START.
3. Open the SD Card slot cover on the front of the Wii console.
NOTE: Close the SD Card slot cover when you are finished
with the synchronization procedure.
4. Remove the Battery Cover on the bottom of the Wii Balance
Board.
NOTE: Replace the Battery Cover when you are finished
with the synchronization procedure.
