Precautions
Before using this product, carefully read this manual and retain it for future reference.
Accessory compatibility
Do not use accessories or peripherals that are intended for another model of the PSP® system, as these accessories/ peripherals may not be compatible with your system. For details, contact Customer Service Hotline (
back cover).
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 and AC power cord.
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 becomes too hot to touch, or has become misshapen.
Contact Customer Service Hotline (
back cover) 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 PSP® 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 (sold separately) 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 Memory Stick Micro™ media or wrap the cables/straps around themselves, which may inflict injury or cause an accident or a malfunction.
Precautions
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.
Handle the display panel with care when opening and closing.
Be careful not to pinch your fingers when closing the display panel.
Do not use the system or accessories near water.
Use only attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
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.
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.
Depending on the conditions of use, the system or AC adaptor may reach temperatures of 40°C/104°F or more. Do not touch
the system or AC adaptor for an extended period of time under |
|
|
these conditions. Extended contact under these conditions may |
|
|
EN |
||
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/104°F or more) for an extended period of time. |
|
|
When connecting the system 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 |
|
AC adaptor and AC power cord use
For your safety, use only a licensed or genuine Sony AC adaptor. Other types may cause fire, electrical shocks or a malfunction.
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 allow dust or foreign 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 disconnect any other cables 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.
Precautions
When disconnecting the AC power cord, hold it by the plug and pull straight out from the electrical outlet. 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 case or covering. Also do not use the AC adaptor when covered with fabric to help 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.
Pixels that are not lit or are continuously lit 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 system 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, as doing so may cause a faint image to be left permanently on the screen.
Recorded data
Do not use the Memory Stick Micro™ media in the following ways, as doing so may result in data loss or corruption:
Removing the Memory Stick Micro™ media 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.
In accordance with copyright law, no recorded data may be used for purposes other than personal enjoyment without permission from the copyright holder.
Never disassemble the system or 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, high-voltage parts.
Using an access point
When using the PSP® system’s search function to select a wireless network access point, access points that are not intended for public use may be displayed. Only connect to a personal access point that you are authorized to use, or one that is available through a commercial wireless network or hotspot service. User is responsible for all fees associated with wireless network access.
Use in other countries
Depending on the country, there are limitations on the use of certain types of radio waves. In some cases, use of the PSP® system may lead to a fine or other penalty.
Handling and care of exterior surfaces
Follow the guidelines listed below to help avoid deterioration or discoloration of the PSP® system.
Do not use solvents or other chemicals to clean the exterior surface.
Do not allow the system to remain in direct contact with rubber or vinyl products for an extended period of time.
Do not use a chemically-treated cleaning cloth to wipe off the system.
Before using the analog stick
Do not attempt to remove the analog stick from the system front, as doing so will damage the system and may result in
injury.
For best results, go to 
(Settings) 
(System Settings), EN and then with the [System Information] screen displayed, rotate
the analog stick in a circular motion to adjust the analog stick’s range of movement.
Cleaning
For safety reasons, unplug the AC power cord 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.
