Precautions
Vents
Do not block any vents. To maintain good ventilation, follow the guidelines below:
• Place the system at least 10 cm (4 in) away from a wall surface.
• Do not place on a carpet or rug with long fibers.
• Do not place in a narrow or cramped space.
• Do not cover with cloth.
• Do not allow dust to build up on the vents.
AC power cord use
• To help ensure safe operation, regularly inspect the AC power cord. If damaged, stop use immediately and call SCEA Consumer Services at 1-800-345-7669 for assistance.
• Do not use a power cord other than the supplied AC power cord. Do not modify the cord.
• Do not touch the plug of the AC power cord with wet hands.
• Protect the AC power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, expansion receptacles and the point where the cord exits from the system.
• Do not place heavy items on the cord.
• Do not place the AC power co rd near heating equipment and do not expose the cord to heat.
• Unplug the AC power cord from the electrical outlet before cleaning or moving the system, or when you do not intend to use the system for an extended period of time. When disconnecting, grasp the power cord by the plug and pull straight out of the electrical outlet. Never pull by the cord and do not pull out at an angle.
• Do not connect the AC power cord to a voltage transformer or inverter. Connecting the AC power cord to a voltage transformer for overseas travel or an inverter for use in an automobile may cause heat to build up in the system and may cause burns or a malfunction.
Never disassemble or modify the system or accessories
Use the PS3™ system and accessories according to the instructions in the product documentation. No authorization for the analysis or modification of the system or accessories, or the analysis and use of its circuit configurations, is provided. Unauthorized modification of the system or accessories will void your warranty. There are no user serviceable components inside the PS3™ system (the supplied hard disk may be removed but not disassembled or modified). Additionally, there is a risk of exposure to laser radiation as well as to electrical shock.
Network
• A broadband connection is required to access the Internet. Note that dial-up connectivity is not supported.
• User is responsible for Internet service fees. For details, refer to the information provided in your service contract or contact your Internet service provider.
• Use only an Ethernet cable compatible with 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T networks. Do not use a cord for a standard residential telephone line or cables of types other than those mentioned here. Using the wrong type of cord or cable can cause more electrical current than necessary to flow through the LAN connector, which may lead to heat build-up, fire or malfunction.
• When using the PS3™ system's scan function to select a wireless LAN access point, access points that are not intended for public use may be displayed. Only connect to an access point that you are authorized to use.
Moisture condensation

Do not p ut the disc back in until the moisture evaporates (t his may take several hours). If the system still does not operate properly, call SCEA Consumer Services at 1-800-345-7669 for assistance.
