• Avoid blocking the signal between the Wii Remote, the Sensor Bar and the Wii Console with objects.
• Use the Wii Remote the correct distance from the Sensor Bar. The optimal distance is between 3 and 8 feet.
• Avoid bright light sources, including sunlight, behind or near the TV, shining towards the Wii Remote or reflecting off of the screen.
• Avoid highly reflective surfaces near the Sensor Bar.
• Avoid sources of infrared light in the gameplay area such as electric, propane or kerosene heaters, flames from fireplaces or candles, and stoves or other sources of heat.
