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.
Wireless networking feature
The 2.4 GHz range of radio waves used by the wireless networking feature of
this product is a range shared by various devices. This product has been
designed to minimize the effect of other devices using the same range.
However, in some cases interference from other devices may reduce the
connection speed, shorten the signal range or cause the connection to be
terminated unexpectedly.
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
If the system or disc is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one,
moisture may condense on the lens inside the system or on the disc. Should this
occur, the system may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and
turn off and unplug the system. Do not put the disc back in until the moisture
evaporates (this may take several hours). If the system still does not operate
properly, contact SCEA Consumer Services (
back cover) for assistance.
Cleaning
