Using Discs
■ Removing the Controller Socket Cover
If you are using the Wii console in a horizontal position, you must remove
the controller socket cover when using Nintendo GameCube Controllers
to allow the console to lay completely flat.
1. Stand the Wii console upright as
shown and squeeze gently until you
feel a slight click.
2. Remove the cover by pulling straight up out of the console.
3. The cover can be replaced by reinserting the cover straight down
into the console until it clicks into place.
NOTE: The Nintendo GameCube Memory Slot Cover can be removed with the same procedure, and should
be removed if you are using Nintendo GameCube Memory Cards (DOL-008, DOL-014) when the Wii console
is placed horizontally.

Disc Usage Precautions
Please read and follow the guidelines listed below when using Wii or Nintendo GameCube Discs in the
Wii console. Failure to do so may result in damage to your Wii console or Discs.
• Do not touch the unprinted bottom surface of the Disc. Always handle the Disc by the edges.
• Do not use cracked, damaged or repaired Discs.
• Do not bend or put excessive pressure on Discs when loading into the console.
• Do not leave Discs in direct sunlight or expose them to high temperatures, high humidity or dust, dirt or
other contaminates.
• When not using Discs, store them in their cases to prevent them from getting scratched, dirty or damaged.
• Do not write on, or place stickers on any part of the Disc.
• Do not put foreign matter on the Disc.
• If a Disc becomes dirty or contaminated with fingerprints, the system may not be able to read the game
data correctly. If necessary, clean the Disc with a soft, slightly damp cotton cloth (use water only). Clean
the Disc from the centre towards the edges; do not use a circular motion.
