2. To free a motion sensor, tap the button side of the Wii Remote against the palm
of your other hand without using much force.
3. If the cursor does not appear on the screen, or if it moves erratically, verify that
the Wii Remote pointer lens (tinted rectangle at the end of the Wii Remote) is
free of obstructions and contamination (stickers, heavy smudges, etc.).
4. Make sure the Wii Remote jacket is securely in place, and that it does not block—
even partially—the Wii Remote pointer lens.
5. Verify that bright sunlight or bright lights are not confusing the infrared sensor.
Move the
Fun Center
away from the window, close any curtains, and/or turn off
the room lights.
6. Verify the Sensor Bar is
working. Use a digital
camera (like the one on a
cell phone) to take a
picture of the Sensor Bar
while the Wii console is
powered ON. You should
see five lights on each end
of the bar.
7. If there are no lights on
the Sensor Bar, make sure
the Sensor Bar is
connected to the back of
the Wii console. You will
need the
Fun Center
tool
kit to remove the back
panel of the main cabinet
to access the Wii console.
Caution
Too much force may damage the motion sensor. Make sure to tap the Wii
Remote against the soft part of your palm.
Information
The Sensor Bar contains a set of infrared LEDs that the Wii Remote
uses to position the cursor on the TV screen. The pointer device on the front of the
Wii Remote “reads” the LEDs to move the cursor left, right, up, and down—as well
as measure the distance from the Wii Remote to the TV screen.
