Warnings
- Be sure to wear the attached wristband during any strenuous play to avoid accidental remote tosses.Thanks
- If you have a thin wrist strap, you must replace it with a new version of the wrist strap. The reason is that the old version can break easily due to its poor strength. Refer to Nintendo.com to know the old and new version of the wrist strap. When you are on Nintendo.com, go to the customer service section and look for "Important Wrist Strap Information".Thanks
