Important safeguards

For your protection, please read these safety instructions completely before operating the PlayStation®2 console, 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.

Dust and foreign matter

Do not allow dust or foreign matter to build up around the ~AC IN connector. Before connecting or plugging in the AC power cord, check that there is no dust or foreign matter in or on the power plug or connecting end of the cord, the socket of the wall outlet or the ~AC IN connector on the console rear. Dust or other matter on the connectors can result in fire or electrical shock.

Liquid and foreign objects

Never push objects of any kind, other than authorized items, into the console 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.

Attachments

Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.

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.

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.

Accessories

Do not place the console on an unstable cart, stand, bracket or table. The console may fall, causing serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious damage to the console. Use only the vertical or horizontal stand or other accessories 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.

– 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 near or over a radiator or heat register,

or where it 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.

Ground clamps

Power service grounding electrode system (NEC Art 250, Part H)

Lightning

For added protection of this console during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet, and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the console due to lightning and power-line surges. Do not touch the console during a lightning storm as this may expose you to the risk of electrical shock.

SERVICE
