	Paired Wiimote This is the only state in which information can be displayed in the Wiimote View.
	Unpaired Wiimote You can also re-pairing them. It will be removed from the list over time. Once a Wiimote has been removed, it must be re-paired anew.
	Disconnected Wiimote This is a Wiimote that has been disconnected in the pairing state, for example, because the battery was removed before unpairing. You cannot re-pair in this state, so please unpairing once. If you don’t unpair, it will remain in the Windows device list.

Points
