How to Set Up a Wireless Sensor Bar

When using the Nintendo Wii video game console, you use motion-sensor controls to play games, after setting up a sensor bar. A wired sensor bar that connects directly to the Wii is included with the purchase of the system. However, you can also use a battery-operated wireless sensor bar if you want to keep the sensor further from the Wii than a wired connection allows for. Once the wireless sensor bar is activated, it can be used with your wireless Wii remote to navigate the Wii menu and play a variety of games for the console.
