Use and handling

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

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

• If you experience any of the follo wing 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

• Keep the system and accessories out of the reach of small children. Small children may swallow the Memory Stick Duo™ or wrap the cables/ straps around themselves, which may inflict injury or cause an accident or a malfunction.

• Do not use the system while driving or riding a bicycle. Looking at the screen or operating the system while driving an automobile or riding a bicycle may result in a traffic accident.

• Take extra care when using the system while walking.

• Be careful not to pinch your fingers when closing the disc cover.

Precautions

• Do not use the system or accessories near water.

• Use only attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

• Do not use the headphones if they cause discomfort to your skin. If the supplied headphones cause discomfort to your skin, discontinue use immediately. If symptoms do not subside even after discontinuing use, seek medical attention.

• Do not expose the system or accessories to high temperatures, high humidity, or direct sunlight.

• Do not leave the system or accessories in a car with the windows closed (particularly in summer).

• Do not expose the system or accessories to dust, smoke or steam.

• Do not allow liquid or small particles to get into the system or accessories.

• Do not place the system or accessories on surfaces that are tilted, unstable or subject to vibration.

• Do not throw, drop or step on the system or accessories, and do not subject the devices to strong physical shock. Sitting down with the PSP™ system in a pocket or placing the system in the bottom of a backpack along with heavy objects may cause damage to the system.

• Do not forcibly twist the PSP™ system or expose the system to strong physical shock during gameplay, as doing so can damage the system or cause the disc cover to open, ejecting the disc. Handle the analog stick with care.

• Do not put heavy objects on the system or accessories.

• Do not touch or insert foreign objects into the connectors of the system or accessories.

• Do not place the system close to items with a magnetic strip, such as credit cards.

• Do not touch the system or AC adaptor for an extended period of time while in use. Depending on the conditions of use, the system or AC adaptor may 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 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

• Do not allow dust or foreig n matter 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

• The LCD screen is made of glass and may crack if subjected to excessive

force.

• 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.

Precautions

• 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.

Memory Stick Duo™

For best results, follow these guidelines:

• Do not touch the connector area (A) with your hands or with metal objects.

• Do not press hard when writing on the memo area (B).

• Do not insert a Memory Stick Duo™ into a device designed to accept only standard-size Memory Stick™ media.

• Do not use or store a Memory Stick Duo™ in the following: – Places subject to high temperatures, such as in a hot vehicle – Locations exposed to direct sunlight – Locations that are very humid or conducive to corrosion

• Use the supplied case to carry or store the Memory Stick Duo™.

• When using Memory Stick Duo™ media without an erasure prevention switch, take care not to overwrite or delete data by accident. If your Memory Stick Duo™ media has an erasure prevention switch, you can prevent data from being saved, edited, or deleted by setting the switch in the LOCK position.

x Recorded data

Do not use the Memory Stick Duo™ in the following ways, as doing so may result in data loss or corruption:

• Removing the Memory Stick Duo™ or turning off the system while it is loading or saving data or being formatted.

• Using it in a location that is exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.

If, for any reason, software or data loss or corruption occurs, it is usually not possible to recover the software or data. It is recommended that you regularly back up software and data. Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates will not be held liable for any damages or injury in the case of software or data loss or corruption.

Precautions

In accordance with copyright law, no recorded data may be used for purposes other than personal enjoyment without permission from the copyright holder.

Pouch

• 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. This may help to avoid overheating.

• Put both the PSP™ system and the remote control in hold mode to help

prevent unintended operation.

Never disassemble the system or supplied accessories

Use the PSP™ system and accessories according to the instructions in this manual. No authorization 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. Additionally, there is a risk of fire, electrical shock or malfunction. The LCD screen, in particular, contains dangerous, highvoltage parts, and the laser beam for reading UMD™ may cause visual impairment if exposed directly to the eyes.

Precautions

back in until the moisture evaporates (this may take several hours). If the system still does not operate properly, contact our technical support line at 1-800-345-7669 for assistance.

UMD™ handling

• Do not touch the opening on the rear of the disc (recorded surface of the disc) with your fingers.

• Do not allow dust, sand, foreign objects or other types of dirt to get on the disc.

• If the UMD™ becomes dirty, gently wipe the exterior and recorded surfaces of the UMD™ using a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or other chemicals.

Cleaning

For safety reasons, unplug the AC power cord from the electrical outlet and remove the battery pack from the system before cleaning.

x Cleaning the exterior surface
