Safety
Do not damage the AC power cord and AC adaptor.
ˎ
Contact the appropriate PlayStation® customer service
ˎ
helpline which can be found within the guarantee section.
Use and handling
Before connecting, check that the connectors are free of
ˎ
dust and small particles.
Do not swing the VR headset or the AC adaptor around by
ˎ
their cables.
Do not remove the VR headset or unplug the VR headset
ˎ
connection cable until the tracking lights on the headset are
turned off. Removing or unplugging while the lights are on
may cause a malfunction.
Do not place objects on the product, throw or drop the
ˎ
product, or otherwise expose it to strong physical impact.
Keep this product out of the reach of small children. Small
ˎ
children may swallow small parts, may pull on cables and
cause the processor unit or VR headset to fall, or may wrap
the cables around themselves, which may inflict injury or
cause an accident or a malfunction.
Do not touch the AC power cord, AC adaptor or processor
ˎ
unit during an electrical storm.
Do not allow liquid or small particles to get into the product
ˎ
(ports, vents, etc.). If this happens, stop use and disconnect
it from the electricity supply immediately.
Do not expose the product to dust, smoke or steam. Dust or
ˎ
other matter can cause fire or electric shock.
Avoid prolonged bodily contact with the processor unit, AC
ˎ
adaptor, or air from the vents when the product is turned
on. Extended contact may cause low-temperature burns*.
* Low-temperature burns are burns that occur when the skin is in
contact with objects of relatively low temperatures (40°C or
more) for an extended period of time.
Do not use the VR headset, stereo headphones, or stereo
ˎ
headset (sold separately) if they cause discomfort to your
skin. If the VR headset, stereo headphones, or stereo
headset cause discomfort to your skin, discontinue use
immediately. If symptoms do not subside even after
discontinuing use, seek medical attention.
The product and its parts are made from metal and plastic
ˎ
materials. When disposing of the product, follow local
regulations for the proper disposal of such materials.
Follow the precautions below to help prevent the product
ˎ
exterior from deteriorating or discolouring.
ˋ Do not use solvents or other chemicals on the product.
ˋ Do not allow rubber or vinyl materials to be in prolonged
contact with the product.
Permanent hearing loss may occur if the headset or
ˎ
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:
ˋ Limit the amount of time you use the headset or
headphones at high volume.
ˋ Avoid raising the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
EN

Page 6
ˋ Lower the volume if you can’t hear people speaking near
you.
When using the headset or headphones in particularly dry
ˎ
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.
Use by children
The VR headset is not for use by children under age 12.

dark pixels or continuously lit pixels may exist and colour
irregularities or brightness irregularities may be visible on
each screen.
