Figure 1-3:

 

The open 

SD Card slot 

cover on the 

front of the 

Wii console.

 

 

  Do not press and hold the rectangular SYNC. button on the Wii console 

for more than ten seconds; otherwise, all synchronization information 
for all your Wii Remotes will be deleted and you’ll need to resynchronize 
them per the instructions in the Wii Operations Manual.

 

5.  Close the SD Card slot and Balance Board battery cover. Return the 

Balance Board to its upright position.

 

Only one Balance Board can be registered to a single Wii console at any one 
time. Any new Balance Board synchronization will overwrite the current 
registration information. Because the Balance Board uses the Player 4 
connection, any board-compatible software is limited to a maximum of a 
single board and three other controllers.

If all steps were followed correctly, the virtual Wii Balance Board greets 
you and serves as your animated anthropomorphic tour guide when you’re 
playing 

Wii Fit Plus.

After a brief intro, you are asked to verify your console’s date and time. If the 
settings are correct, use your remote to select Correct; otherwise choose 
Incorrect and make the necessary adjustments.
