	Important safeguards		5

For your protection, please read these safety instructions completely before operating the appliance, and keep this manual for future reference.

Carefully observe all warnings, precautions and instructions on the appliance, or those described in the instruction manual and adhere to them.

USE

Power sources

This unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of electrical power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company. For those units designed to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

Grounding or polarization

The unit is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by forcing it in.

Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since this can result in fire or electric shock.

Liquid and foreign objects

Never push objects of any kind into the unit through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the unit.

Attachments

Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.

Cleaning

English

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet before cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a cloth lightly dampened with water for cleaning the exterior of the unit.

6		Important safeguards (continued)

INSTALLATION

Water and moisture

Do not use the powerline operated unit near water – for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.

Power cord protection

Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against it, paying particular attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where the cord exits from the unit.

Ventilation

The slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the unit, and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings must never be blocked or covered.

– Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other materials.

– Never block the slots and openings by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.

Accessories

Do not place the unit on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may fall, causing serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious damage to the unit. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer.

An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

– Never place the unit in a confined space, such as a bookcase, or built-in cabinet, unless proper ventilation is provided.

– Do not place the unit near or over a radiator or heat register, or where it is exposed to direct sunlight.

ANTENNAS

Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outdoor antenna or cable system is installed, follow the precautions below.

•Do not push on, scratch or put objects on top of the screen as this may damage it.

•When using the LCD screen 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 extended periods of time. This may cause a faint image to be left permanently on the screen.

•Some parts of the LCD screen may become warm during use. This is a normal condition. However, if any part of the unit becomes hot to the touch, remove the AC adaptor from the electrical outlet immediately and contact our technical support line at 1-800-345-7669 for assistance.

English

12		Precautions (continued)

AC adaptor

•Use the supplied SCPH-121 AC adaptor only. Note that use of any other power supply device (including the SCPH-113 AC adaptor supplied with the PS one™ console) may result in fire, electrical shock or damage to the unit.

•Do not connect the AC adaptor to a transformer as this may result in overheating or malfunction.

•When you do not intend to use the LCD screen for an extended period of time, disconnect the AC adaptor from the electrical outlet.

•When disconnecting the power cord from an electrical outlet, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

•Even if the LCD screen is turned off, do not disconnect the AC adaptor from the LCD screen while the other end of the cord is connected to an electrical outlet.

Moisture condensation

If the LCD screen (for PS one™) is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one, moisture may condense inside the unit. Should this occur, the LCD screen may not operate properly. In this case, do not turn on the console until the moisture evaporates (this could take several hours). If the LCD screen still does not operate properly after this period of time, contact our technical support line at 1-800-345-7669 for assistance.

Static image caution

Static, non-moving images, such as menus, configuration displays or paused images, may leave a faint image permanently on the TV screen if left on for extended periods of time. Projection TVs are more susceptible to this than other types of displays. Do not operate the PS one™ console in such a manner that this could occur.

Speaker magnets

The stereo speakers on the LCD screen contain magnets. Do not place metal objects near the speakers. Also, keep magnetic tapes and discs away from the speakers. Failure to do so may result in the loss of stored data.

Bright and dark spots on the screen

Bright spots of red, blue or green or dark spots may appear in certain locations on the screen. The appearance of such spots is a normal occurrence associated with LCD screens and is not a sign of malfunction. LCD panels are made using highly precise technology and more than 99.98% of the pixels work properly. 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 LCD screen has been turned off.

Fluorescent tubes (backlighting)

This product uses specially designed fluorescent tubes for screen illumination. These fluorescent tubes may wear out over time. If the screen loses brightness, starts flickering or fails to light up, contact our technical support line at 1-800-345-7669 for assistance.

Games

Certain games that use gun or rifle controllers to shoot at on-screen targets cannot be used with this product.

Changing the angle of the display panel

When the LCD screen (for PS one™) is connected to the PS one™ console, the display panel can be adjusted for viewing within the range of motion shown in the chart at right. If too much pressure is applied to the display panel, damage to the LCD screen may result. When changing the angle of the display panel, be careful not to bend it too far. Also, close the display panel when

the LCD screen is not in use.

Closing the LCD screen

When closing the LCD screen, make sure that there is nothing between the PS one™ console and the LCD screen. Also, close the disc cover of the console before closing the LCD screen. If you close both at the same time, damage to the screen may result.

Transporting the LCD screen

Before carrying the LCD screen, make sure you disconnect it from any cables. If you drop the LCD screen, personal injury or damage to the LCD screen may result.

Cleaning the LCD screen

For safety reasons, before cleaning the LCD screen, disconnect the AC adaptor from the electrical outlet.

Cleaning the exterior
