Network adaptor

For customers in the USA

This network adaptor complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the bottom surface of this network adaptor is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.

A jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA.

This product uses the “RJ-11C” telephone jack.

If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will, when practical, notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. If advance notice is not practical, the telephone company will notify you as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is warranted.

The telephone company may make changes to its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice so you can make the necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.

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 1-800-345-7669 for technical assistance.

Cleaning the console and network adaptor

For safety reasons, before cleaning the console and network adaptor, 1) turn off the PlayStation®2 console using the MAIN POWER switch on the console rear, 2) disconnect the power plug from the electrical outlet and, 3) remove the telephone cord and/or network cable from the network adaptor.

Do not use paint thinner, solvents or other chemicals to clean the exterior of the console or network adaptor, as these may damage the surface. When using a commercially available cleaning cloth, follow the instructions supplied with the cloth.

If the exterior of the console or network adaptor 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.

6 Important safeguards

For your protection, please read these safety instructions completely before operating the PlayStation®2 console and network adaptor, and keep this manual for future reference.

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

USE

Power sources

This console 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 console 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, other than authorized items, into the console or network adaptor openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electrical shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the console or network adaptor.

Attachments

Cleaning

Refer to the precautions section of this manual (page 3) for a complete description of a safe method for cleaning the exterior of the console and network adaptor.

INSTALLATION

Water and moisture

Do not use the powerline operated console near water – for example, near a bathtub, kitchen sink, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.

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 console.

Ventilation

The slots and openings in the console exterior are provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the console, 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.
