Safety Guide 4-408-600-12(1)

WARNINGS

To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

For your safety, use only a licensed or genuine Sony AC adaptor for the PS Vita system. Other types may cause fire, electrical shocks or a malfunction.

Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure and SAR:

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. The PS Vita system has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. The maximum SAR level tested for the PS Vita

system has been shown to be 0.92 W/kg at 1 cm separation at Body and 1.58 W/kg at Hand.

Use of any accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC/ IC RF exposure guidelines.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

NOTE:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. – Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. – Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different

from that to which the receiver is connected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for

help.

You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-

003.

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 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 physician before playing.

IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE use and consult your physician 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 PHYSICIAN.

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

• Use in a well-lit area and keep the screen a safe distance from your face.

• Avoid prolonged use of the PS Vita system. Take a 15-minute break during each hour of play.

• Avoid playing when you are tired or need sleep.

Radio waves

Radio waves may affect electronic equipment or medical devices (for example, pacemakers), which may cause malfunctions and possible injuries.

• If you use a pacemaker or other medical device, consult your physician or the manufacturer of your medical device before using the network features.

• Make sure that the PS Vita system is at least 6 inches (15 cm) away from pacemakers when using the network features. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn off your PS Vita system immediately.

• Do not use the network features in the following locations: – Areas where use of network features is prohibited, such as

in hospitals. Abide by medical institution regulations when using the system on their premises.

Before using this product, carefully read this manual and retain it for future reference. Parents and guardians of children should read this guide and make sure that the child follows all safety precautions.

Safety

This product has been designed with the highest concern for safety. However, any electrical device, if used improperly, has the potential for causing fire, electrical shock or personal injury. To help ensure accident-free operation, follow these guidelines:

• Observe all warnings, precautions and instructions.

• Regularly inspect the AC adaptor, AC power cord and USB cable.

• If your PS Vita system is damaged, do not use it. Unplug the AC power cord from the electrical outlet and disconnect any other cables immediately.

• Stop use, unplug the AC power cord from the electrical outlet and disconnect any other cables immediately if the device functions in an abnormal manner, produces unusual sounds or smells or if it or the AC adaptor becomes too hot to touch.

• Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC (SCEA) strongly recommends using, with your PS Vita system, only genuine Sony AC adaptor, AC power cord and USB cable that are compatible with your model of the PS Vita system. Because SCEA cannot assure the safe use and operation of other types of AC adaptor, AC power cord and USB cable, the use of any such AC adaptor, AC power cord or USB cable with any PS Vita system voids the warranty on the PS Vita system.

• Do not handle damaged or leaking lithium-ion batteries.

• Visit us.playstation.com/support or contact SCEA Consumer Services at 1-800-345-7669 if the device does not operate properly.

Use and handling

• Use in a well-lit area and keep the screen a safe distance from your face.

• Avoid prolonged use of the PS Vita system. To help prevent eyestrain, take a break of about 15 minutes during every hour of play.

• If you experience any of the following health problems, discontinue use of the system immediately. If symptoms persist, consult with your physician.

– Dizziness, nausea, fatigue or symptoms similar to motion

sickness

– Discomfort or pain in a part of the body, such as eyes, ears,

hands or arms

• Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones 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 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 earphones 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.

• Keep the system and accessories out of the reach of small children. Small children may swallow the media cards or wrap
