CHAPTER 1INTRODUCTION
1.1 Welcome
Congratulations on your new Starlight Fun Center mobile entertainment unit brought to you
by Starlight Children’s Foundation.
For more than 20 years, Starlight has partnered with Nintendo of America to bring the
Starlight Fun Center unit to facilities in the U.S. and Canada. We are proud of this legacy and
hope you will enjoy this mobile entertainment unit.
This Fun Center unit contains a TV, a Wii U™ console, a Wii U GamePad, a Wii Remote™ Plus,
and a Nunchuk™. It rolls bedside – or almost anywhere – to provide physical therapy
activities, distractive entertainment, or just some much-needed play time during a child’s
healing process.
The enhanced capabilities of the new Fun Center unit, powered by the Wii U from Nintendo,
include:
• Wii U GamePad—The one-of-a-kind controller only for the Wii U.
• Struggling to see the TV screen from the bedside? Many games and video apps.
are playable using just the screen on the Wii U GamePad!
• Is it quiet time? Plug your headphones directly into the Wii U GamePad to enjoy all
the excitement without disturbing those around you.
• Variety of Content
• Each Fun Center unit comes with 25 pre-installed games and plenty of hard drive
space for additional games.
• Have a favorite game at home? Bring your own game discs and play them on this
Fun Center unit! The Nintendo Wii U can play both Wii U and Wii Game Discs.
• Video-On-Demand. Tired of throwing away damaged DVDs or losing them
altogether? Patients can now use their own Netflix, huluPLUS, or amazon instant
video accounts to watch movies and shows!
• Simplicity of Service
• Replacing a controller can now be done without opening your Fun Center unit, and
it only takes about 5 minutes!
• Is there a game everyone is asking for? Purchase and download popular Wii U
titles directly to your Fun Center unit from the Nintendo eShop!
Starlight Fun Center units play an important role in the overall health and well-being of
pediatric patients. Nurses, physicians, and child-life specialists report that Fun Center units:
• Engage and entertain children during long hours of treatment or extended stays
• Distract children from stress of illness and painful or complicated medical procedures
• Reduce the need for pain medication
These Fun Center units are sponsored by corporations, foundations, and individuals who
believe in and support Starlight’s mission to partner with experts to improve the life and
health of kids and families around the world. Enjoy!

To reduce the likelihood of a seizure when playing video games:
• Sit or stand as far from the screen as possible.
• Play video games on the smallest available television screen.
• Do not play if you are tired or need sleep.
• Play in a well-lit room.
• Take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour.
Playing video games can make your muscles, joints, skin, or eyes hurt. Follow these
instructions to avoid problems such as tendinitis, eyestrain, skin irritation, or carpal
tunnel syndrome:
• Avoid excessive play. Parents should monitor their children for appropriate play.
• Take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour, even if you don’t think you need it.
• If your hands, wrists, arms, or eyes become tired or sore while playing, or if you
feel symptoms such as tingling, numbness, burning, or stiffness, stop and rest for
several hours before playing again.
• If you continue to have any of the above symptoms or other discomfort during or
after play, stop playing and see a doctor.
Do not replace the battery in the Wii U console. If the battery is incorrectly replaced,
there can be danger of explosion.
There is a risk of fire if the unit or controllers are used in an oxygen-enriched
atmosphere. Store the controllers away from the bed when not in use or when using
oxygen-administering equipment.
To avoid electric shock when you use this system, observe the following warnings:
• Do not use the Fun Center unit during a lightning storm. There may be a risk of

• Do not use the AC adapters if they are damaged, or have split or broken cords or
wires.
• Make sure that the AC adapters are fully inserted into the power strip or extension
cord.
• Carefully disconnect all plugs by pulling on the plug and not on the cord. Make
sure the Wii U console POWER Button is powered OFF before removing the AC
adapter from an outlet.
• Do not disassemble any sub-components (console, controllers, AC adapters, etc.)
on the Fun Center unit. Contact the Fun Center Unit Support Hotline
(877.716.8550) if a sub-component needs to be replaced.
1.4.3 Cautions
•Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug—The Fun
Center unit is equipped with a hospital-grade, 3-wire grounding-type plug. The
grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong provided for your
safety. This plug only fits into a grounding-type power outlet.
•Power cord—Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched. The power
cord must be routed safely to prevent people from stepping on it, or objects
resting on it. When the Fun Center unit is not in use, make sure the cord is
properly stored by coiling it over the power cord hook located in the back of the
unit below the cabinet.
•Power source—This unit must operate on a designated power source shown on
the specification label located on the back of the cabinet.
•Power connection—Make sure that the power cord plug and power socket are
easily accessible and that the unit can easily be disconnected.
Only use attachments and accessories specified by the manufacturer.
•Foreign objects—Never insert an object into the Fun Center unit through vents
or openings. High voltage flows in the unit; inserting an object can cause electric
shock and/or short internal parts. Only insert Wii U and Wii Game Discs into the
Wii U console. Inserting any foreign material into the Wii U console may cause it to
stop functioning.

2.5.4 Monitoring Downloads and Installation
Use Download Management to check the download status of software purchased from
Nintendo eShop.
From the Wii U Menu, double-tap the Download Management icon at the bottom of the
screen.
This screen allows you to track of the progress of any game downloads and installations.
When in progress, there is an estimated time for completion.
2.6 Connecting to the Internet
Connecting your Fun Center unit to the Internet allows users to watch video-on-demand
using their personal Netflix, huluPLUS, or amazon instant video accounts. It also allows your
hospital to access Nintendo eShop to purchase and download new games for your Fun Center
unit.
Your healthcare facility may require additional set up from the IT department to allow a Fun
Center unit to connect to the network. Depending on which method you or your IT
department choose, Nintendo recommends connecting the Fun Center unit to a network as
an “authorized device.” An “authorized device” does not require login or a user to agree to a
terms-of-use in the Internet browser each time they use the Fun Center unit. The Internet
browser is blocked via Parental Controls on the Wii U console in the Fun Center unit,
therefore a login and terms-of-use agreement are inaccessible to the end user.
To connect the Fun Center unit to a network as an “authorized device,” the IT department
may need the MAC address for the Wii U console. To identify the MAC address, see Section
2.2.1, MAC address.
Note Games can take anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours to download
and install depending on two important factors: game size and Internet
bandwidth.
Caution Do not power OFF the Fun Center unit while a game is installing; doing
so corrupts the file and requires deleting and downloading the game again. Go to
the Download Management screen to view progress.

unit to the Ethernet port in the wall or network box/router. You also need to install a LAN
adapter in the Fun Center unit.
To obtain a LAN adapter, choose one of the following options:
• Remove a LAN adapter from one of your existing Fun Center units powered by a Wii
console. Every Fun Center unit powered by a Wii console has a LAN adapter and it is
not a sub-component that is used. Removing it from an existing Fun Center unit will
not alter the unit’s playability.
• Contact the Fun Center Unit Support Hotline at 877.716.8550 to order a LAN adapter.
