Photosensitivity/Epilepsy/Seizures

A very small percentage of individuals may experience
epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to certain light
patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to certain patterns or
backgrounds on a television screen or when playing video
games may trigger epileptic seizures or blackouts in these
individuals. These conditions may trigger previously
undetected epileptic symptoms or seizures in persons who
have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. If you, or anyone
in your family, has an epileptic condition or has had seizures
of any kind, consult your doctor before playing.

IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE use and consult your doctor
before resuming gameplay if you or your child experience any
of the following health problems or symptoms:

• dizziness,

• altered vision,

• eye or muscle twitches,

• loss of awareness,

• disorientation,

• seizures, or

• any involuntary movement or convulsion.

RESUME GAMEPLAY ONLY ON APPROVAL OF YOUR
DOCTOR.

Use and handling of video games to reduce the likelihood
of a seizure

• Use in a well-lit area and keep as far away as possible from
the television screen.

• Avoid large screen televisions. Use the smallest television
screen available.

EN

3

• Avoid prolonged use of the PlayStation®4 system. Take a
15-minute break during each hour of play.

• Avoid playing when you are tired or need sleep.

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.
SCE recommends that all viewers take regular breaks while
watching 3D video, or playing stereoscopic 3D games. 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 6 years
old) is still under development. SCE recommends that you
consult with a doctor (such as a pediatrician or eye doctor)
before allowing a young child to watch 3D video images or
play stereoscopic 3D games. Adults should supervise young
children to ensure they follow the recommendations listed
above. When using any 3D enabled device with your PS4™
system you should read the instruction manual for that device
and check playstation.com/helpme for updated information.

on the screen.

* Except LCD screen types

• Parents are encouraged to monitor children in online
activities to ensure safe and responsible Internet usage.

• Permanent hearing loss may occur if the headset or
headphones are used at high volume. Set the volume to a
safe level. Over time, increasingly loud audio may start to
sound normal but can actually be damaging your hearing.
If you experience ringing or any discomfort in your ears or
muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing
checked. The louder the volume, the sooner your hearing
could be affected. To protect your hearing:

– Limit the amount of time you use the headset or

headphones at high volume.
– Avoid raising the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
– Lower the volume if you can't hear people speaking near

you.

• Do not use the headset or headphones if they cause
discomfort to your skin. If the headset or headphones cause
discomfort to your skin, discontinue use immediately. If
symptoms do not subside even after discontinuing use,
seek medical attention.

EN

7

• When using the headset or headphones in particularly dry
air conditions, you may sometimes experience a small and
quick (static) shock on your ears. This is a result of static
electricity accumulated in the body, and is not a
malfunction of your headset or headphones.

About the USB device

If "An unknown USB device has been connected" is displayed
on-screen, the reason may be one of the following:

• The connected USB device is not compatible with the
system.

• The connected USB device is compatible with only some
software titles.

• Too many USB devices are connected to the USB hub.

• You are responsible for Internet service fees. For details,
refer to the information provided in your service contract or
contact your Internet service provider.

• 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 PS4™ 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 either 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 from the system (this may take
several hours). If the system still does not operate properly,
contact SCEA Consumer Services ( back cover).
