If you have an epileptic condition or have had seizures, consult your doctor prior to playing. Some individuals may experience eye soreness, altered vision, migraine, muscle twitching, convulsion, blackout, loss of awareness or disorientation when exposed to flashing or flickering lights or other light stimulation on a television screen or while playing video games. If you experience any of the above symptoms while playing, discontinue use immediately and consult your doctor.

Stop playing immediately when you experience the following symptoms

In addition to the above symptoms, whilst playing if you have a headache, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, similar symptoms to motion sickness, or if you feel a discomfort or pain in any body part such as eyes, ears, hands, arms, feet, discontinue use immediately. If the condition persists, seek medical attention.

Radio waves may affect electronic equipment or medical devices (for example, pacemakers), which may cause malfunctions and possible injuries.

If you use a pacemaker or other medical device, consult your physician or the



manufacturer of your medical device before using the wireless networking feature (Bluetooth

Do not use the wireless networking feature in the following locations:



– Areas where wireless network use is prohibited, such as in hospitals. Abide

and wireless LAN).

3D images

Some people may experience discomfort (such as eye strain, eye fatigue, or nausea) while watching 3D video images or playing stereoscopic 3D games on 3D televisions. If you experience such discomfort you should immediately discontinue use of your television until the discomfort subsides.

Generally we recommend that you avoid prolonged use of your PlayStation®3 system and take 15 minutes breaks during each hour of play. However, when playing stereoscopic 3D games or watching 3D video, the length and frequency of necessary breaks may vary from person to person – please take breaks that are long enough to allow any feelings of discomfort to subside. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.

The vision of young children (especially those under six years old) is still under development. Consult with your child’s doctor or optometrist before allowing young children to watch 3D video images or play stereoscopic 3D games. Adults should supervise young children to ensure they follow the recommendations listed above.

Vents

Do not block any vents. To maintain good ventilation, follow the guidelines below:

Place the system at least 10 cm away from a wall surface.



Do not place on a carpet or rug with long fibres.



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 contact the appropriate PlayStation customer service helpline which can be found within every PlayStation software manual.

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 cord near heating equipment and do not expose



the cord to heat.

Do not allow dust or foreign matter to build up around the AC IN connector.



Before connecting or plugging in the AC power cord, check that there is no dust or foreign matter in or on the power plug or connecting end of the cord, the electrical outlet or the AC IN connector on the system rear. If the plug or connector becomes dirty, wipe off with a dry cloth before connecting.

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 authorisation for the analysis or modification of the system or accessories, or the analysis and use of its circuit configurations, is provided. Unauthorised 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 Internet connection is required to connect to a network.



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.

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 minimise 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 authorised to use, or one that is available through a public wireless LAN or hotspot service.

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 the appropriate PlayStation can be found within every PlayStation



cleaning cloth.

Precautions

Vents

When dust accumulates in the system vents, remove the dust with a low-powered vacuum cleaner.

Connectors

Do not use when the connectors of the system or the AC power cord are not clean. If used when dirty, the flow of electrical current may be obstructed. Remove the dirt with a dry cloth.

Discs

Note on compatibility

Some media may have region or territorial restrictions and may not work with your system. See media packaging for details.

Handling

Do not touch the disc surface when handling a disc; hold it by the edges.



Do not stick paper or tape onto discs and do not write on discs.



Fingerprints, dust, dirt or scratches on the disc can distort the picture or reduce



sound quality. Always handle carefully and check that discs are clean before use.

Storage

Do not expose discs to high temperatures, high humidity or direct sunlight.



When discs will not be used for an extended period of time, store them in their



cases. Stacking uncased discs or storing them at an angle can cause them to warp.

Cleaning method
