Follow the precautions below to help prevent the product

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

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.

ˋ Lower the volume if you can’t hear people speaking near

you.

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.

Use by children

The VR headset is not for use by children under age 12.

Wearing the VR headset

It is important that you place the VR headset on your head

properly during use.

ˋ Do not overtighten the adjustment dial. ˋ You can continue to wear your glasses while using the PS

Black (dark) pixels and continuously lit pixels may appear in

certain locations on the screen. The appearance of such spots is a normal occurrence associated with screens and is not a sign of a system malfunction. Screens are made using highly precise technology. However, a very small number of dark pixels or continuously lit pixels may exist and colour irregularities or brightness irregularities may be visible on each screen.

Keep the VR headset’s attachment sensor (

from any obstacles. If the attachment sensor is blocked, the screen will not turn off automatically even if you remove the headset. If an image appears on the screen for an extended period of time, it might cause a screen burn and a faint image might remain permanently on the screen.
