After several minutes of inactivity, Wii titles will attempt to disconnect the Wii Remote. The Wii Remote will remain on and connected to Dolphin, but the game will believe it is disconnected. To "reconnect" the Wii Remote, go to Tools -> Connect Wii Remotes -> Connect Wii Remote # or use a hotkey corresponding to it (example - the Windows default for Wii Remote 1 is Alt-F5), or simply press a button on the Wii Remote.

Dolphin does not automatically turn off Wii Remotes as the Wii will (except on Linux). Remember to turn off controllers on your own to save battery power, simply by holding the power button on Wii Remote for a second as you would to turn off the Wii. It will also tell Dolphin that it's disconnected instead of stopping the game emulation.
