I was having issues as well. I finally gave up and went with the wired option. Sorry
As I recall, all you have to do is make sure the sensors are charged, press the power button, and turn on your Wii remote, and it will connect on its own.
There was no difficulty for me. I powered up the bar after turning on the Wii and remotes. It happened in a flash. It really works.
Yes, I have an older one that has never caused me any issues.

The only reason this sensor bar gets any stars is because of its convenience. br>br>It has a much weaker IR light than the Wii's wired sensor bar. To get the pointer to register, you often have to be very close to it, and don't try this during daylight hours because the ambient light won't help you. The solid light test for the sensor bar fails even when the Wii Remote sensitivity is set to 5. Unless you live in a cave, I wouldn't buy it again or recommend it to anyone. A few more wires for quality pointer control wouldn't hurt either. Even with the massive amount of sunlight behind the TV, I've never had to turn up the sensitivity on the Wii Remote's IR sensors past 2 when using the Wii's included wired sensor bar. br>br>The only way that this sensor bar is mildly successful at doing its job is in games like Skyward Sword that approximate the pointers position, and even then it can be jittery, (See attached video), but because I now have the Wii Remote sensitivity set to 5, it obviously picks up the sunlight and makes any pointer control impossible. br>br>In comparison to the Wii Original Sensor Bar in the photo, it's difficult to even detect the IR light from the Wireless Sensor Bar, whereas the Wii's sensor bar is completely clear. Simply do not purchase this. br>br>.
For about a month, this item was effective. It no longer works, despite the fact that new batteries were installed.
Our Wii's original wireless sensor bar began to malfunction (frequently powering off while playing games, killing brand new batteries in less than 2 hours). I was skeptical that this bar would work, especially given its low price, but what a pleasant surprise it was! It even came with batteries (AAA, not AA, as the old sensor bars did). It's nice, sleek, and compact, and there's no need to set it up. When I turned on the Wii box, the sensor bar recognized the remotes right away.
until it was no longer the case. For three months, it was perfect. It finally came to a halt. I weighed myself with my wifit every two weeks. I was so disappointed when my first one only lasted eight years. This one took three months to complete.
For about two days, it worked perfectly. Then it began to produce dim light and failed to function properly. It stopped working completely within a week. Yes, it possesses considerable strength. It's simple to test it by looking at it through the camera on your phone. On your screen, you should be able to see the lights on both sides. Nothing. I'm on the lookout for a replacement and will keep you updated on the situation.
It performs as expected. It's not even necessary to include the word "wireless" in the product title because most sensor bars should already be wireless. Two infrared LEDs make up a sensor bar for the Wii/Wii U. That is all there is to it. There's no need to connect it to the Wii because the sensor input is handled by the Wiimote.
The unit's original batteries were dead, but new batteries brought it back to life. br>br>Facts about nerds: I'm not sure if anyone cares, but I was able to "see" the infrared LEDs in action using my phone. There appear to be three LEDs on each side (plus a red power light in the center), compared to five on each side on the first-generation Nintendo wired sensor bar, and the LEDs on this bar appear to be brighter than the LEDs on my Nintendo bar, at least with fresh batteries. Nintendo's newer ones, according to what I've heard, also have three.
To change the sensor location from bottom to top, I had to swivel the remote in all kinds of crazy directions at first. Then everything is fine. Much better than my previous one, which kept turning off, and I appreciate the fact that this one has an on/off switch.
