How to Synchronize a Wii Balance Board

Nintendo's Balance Board accessory for the Wii is another device that takes advantage of the system's motion-detecting ability. The Board can be used in games like "Wii Fit," where players stand on it to perform exercises, do yoga and keep track of their weight. Synchronizing allows the Balance Board and the Wii to "communicate" without the need of a physical connection between the two. It only requires a brief set-up process.
