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.
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.
– Never block the slots and openings by placing the console on a
bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.
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
Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer,
as they may cause hazards.
Accessories
Do not place the console or network adaptor on an unstable cart,
stand, bracket or table. The console or network adaptor may fall,
causing serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious damage
to the console or network adaptor.

recommended by the manufacturer to stabilize the console.
An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination to overturn.
7
– Never place the console in a confined space, such as a bookcase,
or built-in cabinet, unless proper ventilation is provided.
– Do not place the console or network adaptor near or over a
radiator or heat register, or where either item is exposed to
direct sunlight.
ANTENNAS
Outdoor antenna grounding – If an outdoor antenna or
cable system is installed, follow the precautions below.
An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can come in contact with
such power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA
SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO
KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES
OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS
ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antennadischarge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.

damaging the speakers.
