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.
