Precautions
Notes on safety when using the analog controller
(DUALSHOCK®2)*
• Stop using the console immediately if you begin to feel tired or if you experience
discomfort or pain in your hands or arms while operating the analog controller
(DUALSHOCK®2). If the condition persists, consult a doctor.
• The analog controller (DUALSHOCK®2) is intended for use with the hands only.
Do not bring it into contact with your head, face or the bones of any other part of
the body.
• The vibration function of the analog controller (DUALSHOCK®2) can aggravate
injuries. Do not use the vibration function if you have any ailment or injury to the
bones, joints or muscles of your hands or arms. Note that some PlayStation®2 and
PlayStation® format software titles set the vibration function to "On" by default. In
most cases, the vibration function can be set to "Off" in the options menu of the
software. If you have an ailment or an injury, do not play such titles using the
analog controller (DUALSHOCK®2) unless you have set the vibration function to
"Off".
• Avoid prolonged use of the analog controller (DUALSHOCK®2). Take a break at
about 30-minute intervals.
* These notes also apply to the analog controller (DUALSHOCK®).
Network (except Local Area Networks)
• A broadband Internet connection is required to connect to a network.
• When you connect your PlayStation®2 console to a network, the Internet service
provider may charge additional usage fees. In some cases, usage charges may be
more than anticipated. For details, refer to the information provided in your service
contract or contact your Internet service provider.
Do not connect network cables or telephone cords of the following types to the
network connector:
• Network cables not appropriate for use with a 10Base-T/100Base-TX network
• Standard residential telephone lines
• Any ISDN (digital) compatible phone or data line
• PBX phone lines
• Other "unknown" types of telephone lines
Disc handling
• Do not touch the disc surface when handling a disc; hold it by the edges.
• Do not stick paper or tape onto discs and do not write on discs.
• Fingerprints, dust, dirt or scratches on the disc can distort the picture or reduce
sound quality. Always handle carefully and make sure discs are clean before use.
• Do not leave discs near a heat source, in direct sunlight or in high humidity.
• Store discs in their cases when not in use.
• Clean discs using a soft cloth, lightly wiping from the center outwards.
Do not use solvents such as benzine, commercially available cleaners not intended
for CDs or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.
• Do not use irregularly shaped discs (for example, heart- or star-shaped discs) or
damaged, re-shaped or repaired discs.
Do not move the console with a disc inserted
Do not move or change the position of the console with a disc inserted. The vibration
may result in scratching of the disc or the console.
Never disassemble the console or supplied accessories
Use the PlayStation®2 console and accessories according to the instructions in this
manual. No authorization for the analysis or modification of the console, or the
analysis and use of its circuit configurations, is provided. There are no userserviceable components inside the PlayStation®2 console. Disassembling the
console will void the warranty. Additionally, there is a risk of exposure to laser
radiation as well as to electrical shock hazards.
When connecting the console to a plasma or projection* TV
Do not leave a still image on the TV screen for an extended period of time, as this
may leave a faint image permanently on the screen.
* Except LCD screen types
Note on safety when playing DVDs or CDs

Precautions
7
Moisture condensation
If the console or disc is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one, moisture
may condense on the lens inside the console or on the disc. Should this occur, the
console may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and turn off and
unplug the console. Do not put the disc back in until the moisture evaporates (this
may take several hours). If the console still does not operate properly, call SCEA
Consumer Services at 1-800-345-7669 for assistance.
Cleaning
• For safety reasons, before cleaning the console or connected accessories, 1) turn
off the console, 2) disconnect the power plug for the console from the electrical
outlet, and 3) disconnect the network cable from the console.
• When cleaning the console, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use solvents or other
chemicals or a chemically-treated dust cloth to clean the product.
• When dust accumulates in the console vents, remove the dust with a low-powered
vacuum cleaner.
• Do not touch the lens located inside the disc cover. To help protect the lens from
dust, keep the disc cover closed except when inserting or removing discs.
Exterior protection
To help prevent damage to the painted parts, follow the precautions below:
• Do not spill liquids such as alcohol, solvents or other chemicals on the product.
• Do not place any rubber, vinyl or plastic items on the painted surfaces for an
extended period of time.
