Read carefully before operating your PlayStation®2 console

A few people may experience epileptic seizures when viewing flashing lights or patterns in our daily environment. These persons may experience seizures while watching TV or playing video games, including DVD videos or games played on the PlayStation console. Players who have not had any seizures may nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition. Consult your physician before operating the PlayStation console if you have an epileptic condition or experience any of the following symptoms while watching TV programs or playing video games: altered vision, muscle twitching, other involuntary movements, loss of awareness of your surroundings, mental confusion, and/ or convulsions.

Do not expose the console to cigarette smoke or dust

When setting up the PlayStation®2 console, avoid places subject to excessive cigarette smoke or dust. Cigarette smoke residue or dust build-up on internal components such as the lens, may cause the console to malfunction.

Disc handling

• Do not leave discs near a heat source, in direct sunlight, or in high humidity.

• Store discs in their cases when they are not being used. Stacking discs or standing them at an angle without putting them in their cases can cause the discs to warp.

• Do not touch the disc surface when handling a disc; hold it by the edges.

• Do not stick paper or tape onto the disc.

• Do not write on the disc with a marker, etc.

• Fingerprints or dust on the disc can distort the picture or reduce sound quality. Make sure discs are always clean before use.

• Clean discs using a soft cloth, lightly wiping from the center outwards.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, commercially available cleaners not intended for CDs or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs as these may damage your disc.

Do not place the console in an unusually hot location

Do not leave the console in a car with its windows closed (particularly in summer) as this may warp the exterior of

the console or cause the console to malfunction.

Moisture condensation

If the console or the disc is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one, moisture may condense on the lens inside the console or on the disc. Should this occur, the console may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and do not put the disc back in until the moisture evaporates. (This could take several hours.) If the console still does not operate properly, call the PlayStation service line number listed on your warranty card for technical assistance.

Do not subject the console to violent physical shock

Do not throw or drop the console or its accessories, and do not knock the console or its accessories against other objects. When carrying the console, do not subject it to any type of violent physical shock. This may damage the disc or cause the console to malfunction.

Avoid damaging the exterior of the console

Do not apply any solvents, and do not place any rubber or vinyl materials on the surface of the console for an extended period of time. Doing so may damage the plastic surface or cause the paint to peel off.

Cleaning the vents

Cleaning the exterior of the console

When cleaning the exterior of the console, be sure to turn the power off with the MAIN POWER switch on the back of the console and disconnect the AC power plug from the electrical socket.

• If the exterior of the console 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.

• Do not use paint thinner, solvents or other chemicals, as these may damage the console. When using a commercially available cleaning cloth, follow the instructions supplied with the cloth.
