Precautions

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 ensure accident-free operation, follow these guidelines:

• Observe all warnings, precautions and instructions.

• Stop use immediately if the device functions in an abnormal manner, or produces
unusual sounds or smells.

• Do not touch the AC adaptor with wet hands.

• Do not touch or ingest any fluid leaking from a damaged LCD Screen (for PS one®). If
any fluid gets into the eyes or mouth, flush with water and consult a doctor
immediately.

• If the device does not function properly, please contact the appropriate PlayStation®
customer service helpline which can be found:

- on the customer registration card;

- within every PlayStation® format software manual.

Health

To help prevent eye strain:

• Take a break of about 15 minutes during every hour of play.

• Do not play a game when you are tired or short of sleep.

• Play in a well-lit environment and keep a safe distance from the LCD Screen.

When using headphones with the LCD Screen, turn the volume down as far as it will go
before putting on the headphones. Adjust the volume as necessary after the game or
audio CD has started.

Listening to loud sounds for an extended period of time can have a harmful effect on
one’s hearing. This is especially true when using headphones. When using headphones,
keep the volume at a moderate level to avoid harming your ears. If you experience a
ringing in your ears, turn the volume down or stop use of the headphones.

Avoid prolonged physical contact with the LCD Screen or AC adaptor as this may cause
low temperature burns. Be especially careful in cases such as when using the LCD Screen
on your lap.

Use and handling

Failure to follow the precautions below may result in damage to the LCD Screen, the
PS one® console or the disc in use.

• Operate the LCD Screen only with the supplied SCPH-122B AC adaptor or the
SCPH-170 E Car Adaptor (for PS one®) (sold separately).

• Never disassemble or modify the LCD Screen or AC adaptor.

• Do not expose the LCD Screen or AC adaptor to high temperatures, high humidity,
or direct sunlight, or to extreme cold (use in an environment where temperatures
range 5°C-35°C).

• Do not use the LCD Screen in a dusty location.

• Do not block the air vents or wrap up the LCD Screen, as doing so may cause heat to
build up internally.

• Do not use the LCD Screen on a rug or carpet.

• Do not allow liquid or small particles to get into the LCD Screen.

• Do not put heavy objects on the LCD Screen or AC adaptor.

• Do not throw or drop the LCD Screen or AC adaptor, or subject either item to strong
physical shock.

• Do not shake the LCD Screen while in use, or subject it to vibration. Be especially
careful when using in a car.

• Do not place, or use the LCD Screen on an unstable surface. Be especially careful
when using in a car.

• Do not place the LCD Screen close to magnetic fields.

Screen

• Direct exposure to sunlight may damage the screen. Be careful when using the LCD
Screen outdoors or near a window.

• 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 or the SCPH-170 E Car Adaptor (for PS one®) (sold
separately) from the socket immediately and contact the appropriate PlayStation®
customer service helpline which can be found:

- on the customer registration card;

- within every PlayStation® format software manual.

AC adaptor

• Use the supplied SCPH-122B AC adaptor only. Note that use of any other AC
adaptor (including the SCPH-115 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 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, please
contact the appropriate PlayStation® customer service helpline which can be found:

- on the customer registration card;

- within every PlayStation® format software manual.

Precautions (continued)

Static image caution

When connected to a TV, 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, please contact the appropriate PlayStation® customer service helpline
which can be found:

- on the customer registration card;

- within every PlayStation® format software manual.

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 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

• Do not use paint thinner or other chemicals to clean the exterior of the LCD
Screen as these may damage the surface. When using a chemically-treated dust
cloth, follow the usage instructions supplied with the cloth.

• If the exterior of the LCD Screen becomes dirty, soak a soft cloth in a mild
detergent solution diluted with water, tightly squeeze the cloth to remove the
excess liquid, wipe the affected area of the exterior, and finish by wiping with a
dry cloth.

Cleaning the screen

• Avoid touching the screen surface except when necessary for cleaning, as this
may damage it.

• Do not use a wet cloth to clean the screen. If water gets inside, it may damage the
LCD Screen.

• If the screen becomes dirty, wipe off the screen surface with a soft, dry cloth.
