2. Firmly slide the Wii Stand Plate into the slots until you hear a click.
3. Place the console stand on a flat surface and place the Wii console into the stand. Be sure to lower the Wii console straight down into the console stand rather than sliding it in from the front.

To place the Wii horizontally

1. Place the Wii console on a flat horizontal surface.
   • The rubber feet should be facing down, the POWER Button should be on the left, and the disc slot should be on top.

2. Keep the Wii Console Stand and Wii Stand Plate in case you later want to switch the Wii console's position to a vertical setting.
3. If you plan on playing Nintendo GameCube games with your Wii while it is in the horizontal position, you must remove the controller socket cover to allow the console to lay completely flat.

To place the Wii mini

1. Place the Wii console on a flat horizontal surface. The rubber feet should be facing down, and the POWER Button and OPEN Button should be on the top of the console.
2. Ensure there is enough clearance above the Wii mini for the disc tray to fully open.
