Note that the very first Wii Remote Pluses, such as those included in [[FlingSmash]] and [[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]], are not <samp>RVL-CNT-01-TR</samp> Wii Remotes. For this reason this guide will not use the blanket "Wii Remote Plus" term, but will use "-TR Wii Remote" to refer to the <samp>RVL-CNT-01-TR</samp> Wii Remotes specifically. While the addition of the sync button on the battery cover is the common way to tell non-TR Wii Remote Pluses from -TR Wii Remote Pluses, even that is not 100% reliable. The only way to know for sure to is connect it to a computer and see if it is registered as <samp>RVL-CNT-01-TR</samp>.

*Another thing to note, when turning the Wii Remote off, its device ID will remain in the Bluetooth settings window, but the yellow and green clasped lines will be gone. To reconnect the Wii Remote, just double click it. A window will pop up asking to prepare the Wii Remote once again. Click "OK" and then press the red Sync button on the bottom of the Wii Remote. It will be reconnected in a matter of seconds.
