For your safety, use only a supplied AC adaptor. Other types may
cause fire, electrical shocks or a malfunction.
Do not touch the plug of the AC adaptor with wet hands.
Do not touch the AC adaptor or the system, if connected to an
electrical outlet, during an electrical storm.
Do not allow dust or foreign matter to build up around the system

cloth before connecting. Dust or other matter on the connectors
can result in fire or electrical shock.
Unplug the AC adaptor from the electrical outlet and disconnect
any other cables from the system before cleaning or when you do

LCD screen
The LCD screen is made of glass and may crack if subjected to
excessive force.
Pixels that are not lit or are continuously lit may appear in certain
locations on the LCD screen. The appearance of such spots is a
normal occurrence associated with LCD screens and is not a sign
of a system malfunction. LCD screens are made using highly
precise technology. However, a very small number of dark pixels
or continuously lit pixels exist on each screen. Also, a distorted
image may remain on the screen for several seconds after the
system has been turned off.
Direct exposure to sunlight may damage the system’s LCD
screen. Be careful when using the system outdoors or near a
window.
When using the system in a cold environment, you may notice
shadows on the graphics or the screen may appear darker than
usual. This is not a malfunction, and the screen will return to
normal when the temperature goes up.
Do not leave still images displayed on the screen for an extended
period of time, as doing so may cause a faint image to be left
permanently on the screen.

Never disassemble the system or accessories
Use the PSP® system and accessories according to the instructions
in this manual. No authorisation for the analysis or modification of
the system, or the analysis and use of its circuit configurations, is
provided. Disassembling will void the system warranty and may be
harmful. The LCD screen, in particular, contains dangerous,
high-voltage parts, and the laser beam for reading Universal Media
Disc may cause visual impairment if exposed directly to the eyes.
Moisture condensation
If the PSP® system or Universal Media Disc is brought directly from
a cold location to a warm one, moisture may condense on the lens
inside the system or on the Universal Media Disc. Should this occur,
the system may not operate properly. In this case, remove the
Universal Media Disc and turn off and unplug the system. Do not
put the Universal Media Disc back in until the moisture evaporates
(this may take several hours). If the system still does not operate
properly, contact the appropriate PSP
which can be found within every PSP

If the Universal Media Disc becomes dirty, gently wipe the
exterior and recorded surfaces of the Universal Media Disc using
a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or other chemicals.
Do not use a Universal Media Disc that is cracked or warped or
has been repaired. The Universal Media Disc may break inside
the PSP
® system, leading to injury or malfunction.

dirty, signals may not be sent or received properly. Also, if the
connector on the headphones becomes dirty, you may experience
noise or interruptions in sound. Wipe the connectors with a dry, soft
cloth to keep in clean condition.
Cases and coverings
When placing the PSP® system in a commercially available case,
turn off the power or put the system in sleep mode. Do not use the
