4 Precautions
On safety
•The laser beam emitted from the lens of your PS one® console is harmful to the eyes. Do not attempt to disassemble the casing. Servicing should be carried out by qualified personnel only.
•Should any solid objects or liquid fall into your PS one® console, unplug it immediately and have it checked by qualified personnel before any further use.
•Disconnect your PS one® console from the mains if you do not intend to use it for any length of time. When doing this, grasp the adaptor and pull it from the wall socket. Never pull the cord itself.
For your health
•Be sure to take a break of about 15 minutes during every hour of play.
•Do not play a game when you are very tired or short of sleep.
•Play in a well lit room, sitting as far from the screen as the cord will allow.
On operation
•Operate your PS one® console only on 220 - 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
•Do not cover your PS one® console during use as heat may build up internally.
•Avoid rough handling or knocks and do not put any heavy objects on top of your PS one® console. This could damage the console or the disc.
•Do not leave your PS one® console near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight (operating temperature: 5˚C-35˚C), excessive dust or sand, moisture, liquid, on an uneven surface, or in a car with its windows closed.
•If your PS one® console causes interference to radio or television reception, turn it off or move it away from the radio or television.
•Do not touch the lens inside the disc cover. To protect the lens from dust keep the disc cover closed except when inserting or removing the disc. If the lens is not clean, your PS one® console may not operate properly.
•The SCPH-1040 Link Cable cannot be used with this unit.
•The method for resetting the PS one® is different to that for the PlayStation® (SCPH-1002 B, SCPH-5502 B, SCPH-5552 B, SCPH-7002 B, SCPH-7502 B, SCPH-9002 B). For more information, see “Restarting a game” on page 8.
•Avoid prolonged physical contact with the PS one® console or AC adaptor. This may cause low temperature burns.
About the discs
•You can use two kinds of discs with your PS one® console: CD-ROM discs with both PlayStation® logo and [PAL] designation, and audio CD discs.
•Some discs sold in foreign countries cannot be used with this unit.
On handling discs
•Do not leave the discs near heat sources or in direct sunlight or excessive moisture.
•Store the discs in their cases when they’re not in use.
•When handling the discs, do not touch the surface.
Hold them by the edge.
•Do not stick paper or tape on the discs.
•Do not write on the discs with a marker, etc.
On condensation
If your PS one® console is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside. Should this occur, your PS one® console may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc for several hours until the moisture evaporates. If your PS one® console still does not operate properly, call the appropriate PlayStation® customer service helpline which can be found:
–on the customer registration card;
–within every PlayStation® format software manual.
Do not connect your PS one® console to a projection TV
Do not connect your PS one® console to a projection TV. Permanent damage may result unless it has an LCD screen.
