Never disassemble the system or accessories

Use the PSP® system and accessories according to the instructions
in this manual. No authorisation 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 and may
be harmful. The LCD screen, in particular, contains dangerous,
high-voltage parts, and the laser beam for reading Universal
Media Disc may cause visual impairment if exposed directly to
the eyes.

Moisture condensation

If the PSP® system or Universal Media Disc is brought directly
from a cold location to a warm one, moisture may condense on
the lens inside the system or on the Universal Media Disc. Should
this occur, the system may not operate properly. In this case,
remove the Universal Media Disc and turn off and unplug the
system. Do not put the Universal Media Disc back in until the
moisture evaporates (this may take several hours). If the system
still does not operate properly, contact the appropriate PSP
customer service helpline which can be found within every PSP
format software manual.

Cleaning

For safety reasons, unplug the AC adaptor from the electrical
outlet and disconnect any other cables before cleaning the system.

Cleaning the exterior surface and LCD screen

Wipe gently with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the connectors

If the connectors on the PSP® system or on the USB cable become
dirty, signals may not be sent or received properly. Also, if the
connector on the headphones becomes dirty, you may experience
noise or interruptions in sound. Wipe the connectors with a dry,
soft cloth to keep in clean condition.

Cases and coverings

When placing the PSP® system in a commercially available case,
turn off the power or put the system in sleep mode. Do not use the
system while it is in the case. Leaving the system on, or using it
while in a case or covering may cause overheating or may damage
the system.
