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

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.

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.

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.
