Standby Functions
If you turn the power off on the Wii U console when software is being downloaded or
installed, this feature automatically finishes the download and installation, and then turns the
console off.
NOTE: This mode is disabled by default. (This can be changed in System Settings on the Wii U
Menu, Power Settings.)
If you enable this feature, software will not be automatically downloaded or installed if either
of the following occur:
•
The power is turned off by holding down the POWER Button for at least four seconds.
•
The AC adapter is disconnected after turning the power off.

If you enable Standby Functions, the power LED on the Wii U console will change from red to
orange at fixed intervals after the power is turned off. The system is checking for updates or

installations will be performed. The Power LED will turn red again after they have been
completed.
•
Initially, the interval for Standby Functions (the time the LED remains red) is set to one hour.
(This can be changed in System Settings on the Wii U Menu, Power Settings.)

Pairing Controllers
Before using a Wii U GamePad, Wii U Pro Controller, or Wii Remote controllers, they must first
be paired with the Wii U console. After pairing, you will be able to turn the console power on
and off by pressing
on the controller. See the information at the bottom of the page for
specific information on pairing a Wii U GamePad.
•
If you will be using Wii Remote controllers, you must first install the included sensor
bar
(p.
26). Some software titles do not require a Sensor bar.
•
A controller must always be paired to the console you wish to use it with. If a controller has
been paired to a different console, it will need to be paired again to any new console you
wish to use it with (including Wii Remote controllers for Wii consoles).
•
For the Wii Balance Board™, please see the instruction manual included with compatible
software for pairing instructions.
