A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures when
exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to certain patterns
or backgrounds on a television screen or while playing video games, including
games played on the PSP™ system, may trigger an epileptic seizure in these
individuals. Certain conditions may trigger previously undetected epileptic
symptoms even in persons who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. If
you, or anyone in your family, has an epileptic condition, consult your
physician prior to playing. If you experience any of the following symptoms
while playing a video game - dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitches,
loss of awareness, disorientation, any involuntary movement or convulsions IMMEDIATELY discontinue use and consult your physician before resuming
play.

reach temperatures of 40° C/104° F or more. Extended contact under these
conditions may cause low-temperature burns*.
* Low-temperature burns are burns that occur when the skin is in contact with objects of
relatively low temperatures (40° C or more/104° F or more) for an extended period of
time.
AC adaptor and AC power cord use
• Do not touch the mains power plug of the AC power cord with wet hands.
• Do not touch the AC power cord, AC adaptor or the system, if connected to
an electrical outlet, during an electrical storm.
• Do not use a power source other than the supplied battery pack, AC adaptor
and AC power cord.
Precautions
10
• Do not allow dust or foreign ma tter to build up around the system or accessory
connectors. If there is dust or foreign matter on the system's connectors or the
AC power cord, wipe it off with a dry cloth before connecting. Dust or other
matter on the connectors can result in fire or electrical shock.
• Unplug the AC power cord from the electrical outlet and remove the battery
pack from the system before cleaning or when you do not intend to use the
system for an extended period of time.
• Protect the AC power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at
plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from the system.
• When disconnecting the AC power cord, hold it by the plug and pull straight
out from the electrical socket. Never pull by the cord and do not pull at an
angle.
• Do not use the system to play games or video when the system is covered with
any type of fabric. If you want to pause or temporarily store the system while
playing games or video, put the system in sleep mode before placing it in the
pouch. Also do not use the AC adaptor when covered with fabric. This may
help to avoid overheating.
• Do not connect the AC power cord to a voltage transformer or inverter.
Connecting the AC power cord to a voltage transformer for overseas travel or
an inverter for use in an automobile may cause heat to build up in the AC
adaptor and may cause burns or a malfunction.
LCD screen
• Red, blue or green spots (bright spots) or black spots (dark spots) 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
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. This may cause a faint image to be left permanently on the screen.
