This procedure allows the Wii Remote to communicate with the Wii console.
The Wii Remote included with your Wii console has been synchronized with the Wii console at the factory.
There are two different modes of synchronizing (syncing) a Wii Remote with your Wii console.
STANDARD MODE - The Standard Mode procedure is used when adding additional Wii Remotes to your Wii console or if you want to re-synchronize your original Wii Remote. Once synchronized, the Wii Remote will stay synced to the Wii console unless you overwrite this setting by syncing the Wii Remote to a different Wii console.
ONE-TIME MODE - This mode allows you to temporarily use your Wii Remote on a Wii console other than your own or to use a friend's Wii Remote on your Wii console. It does not delete the Standard Mode setting stored in the Wii Remote. In this mode, the Wii Remote will only communicate with the Wii console while the power is on. When the power is turned off, the Wii Remote will lose its sync with the Wii console.
Note: Only a Wii Remote in Standard Mode can turn the Wii console power ON or OFF.
Standard Mode Synchronization
Note: Make sure you have placed batteries in the Wii Remote.

- Remove the battery cover on the back of the Wii Remote. Press and release
inside the cover. The Player LEDs will blink.
