How to Sync Wii Remotes to the Wii Console (One Time Mode)

One Time Mode Synchronization

Description:
Step by step instructions on how to temporarily sync the Wii Remote to a Wii console.

Important Note!

• Only a Wii Remote in Standard Mode can turn the Wii console power ON or OFF.

One Time Mode Synchronization allows temporarily use of a Wii Remote on a Wii console other than your console, or to use a friend's remote on your console. It can also be used to change the order of the Wii Remotes without the need to turn off the Wii console.
One Time Mode 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. When the power is turned back on again, the Standard Mode settings will return.

What to do:

1. Press the HOME Button on a Wii Remote that is synchronized with the Wii console.


2. Select the Wii Remote Settings option from the Home Button menu.


3. Select the Reconnect Option.


4. Press the 1 and 2 Buttons at the same time on the Wii Remote that you want to synchronize with the console.


• If you are syncing multiple Wii Remotes, press the 1 and 2 Buttons on each Wii Remote immediately (without a significant pause) in the order you want them synced. The order in which you synchronize Wii Remotes determines the player order (1 through 4) for multiplayer games.
5. The Player LED will blink during the syncing process. When the blinking stops, the connection is complete.
