Precautions
Safety
This product has been designed with the highest concern for safety. However, any electrical device, if used improperly, has the potential for causing fire, electrical shock or personal injury. To help ensure accident-free operation, follow these guidelines:
•Observe all warnings, precautions and instructions.
•Stop use and unplug the AC power cord from the electrical outlet immediately if the device functions in an abnormal manner or produces unusual sounds or smells.
•Never connect cables of types other than those specified in this manual to the network connector.
•Call SCEA Consumer Services at 1-800-345-7669 if the device does not operate properly.
Use and handling
•When operating the unit, play in a well-lit room and keep a safe distance from the TV screen.
•Avoid prolonged use of the console. To help prevent eye strain, take a break of about 15 minutes during every hour of play.
•Do not throw or drop the console or accessories, or expose them to strong physical shock.
•Do not place the console or accessories on surfaces that are unstable, tilted or subject to vibration.
•Do not expose the console or accessories to high temperatures, high humidity or direct sunlight (use in an environment where temperatures range from 5°C to 35°C/ 41°F to 95°F).
•Do not place the console or accessories in locations subject to sudden temperature change (for example, changes of 10°C/18°F per hour or more).
•Do not leave the console or accessories in a car with its windows closed (particularly in summer).
•Do not expose the console to dust, smoke or steam.
•Do not allow liquid or small particles to get into the console.
•Do not put any objects on the console.
•Do not touch or insert foreign objects into the connectors of the console or accessories.
6 Precautions
•Do not place the console close to magnetic fields produced by magnets or loudspeakers.
•Do not set the console other than in the vertical or horizontal position. When placing in the vertical position, use the vertical stand (for PlayStation®2) (sold separately) that is compatible with this console. Also, do not change the position while the console is turned on.
•Do not place any rubber or vinyl materials on the console exterior for an extended period of time.
AC adaptor and AC power cord use
•Do not touch the plug of the AC power cord with wet hands.
•Do not touch the console or connected accessories during an electrical storm.
•Do not touch the console or AC adaptor for extended periods of time while the console is turned on as extended contact may cause low-temperature burns.
•To help ensure safe operation, regularly inspect the AC adaptor and AC power cord. If damaged, stop use immediately and call SCEA Consumer Services at 1-800-345-7669 for assistance.
•Do not use a power cord other than the supplied AC adaptor and AC power cord.
•Check that there is no dust or lint on the power plug before inserting into an electrical outlet. If the plug becomes dirty, wipe it off with a dry cloth before connecting.
•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.
•Unplug the AC power cord from the electrical outlet before cleaning or moving the console, or when you do not intend to use the console for an extended period of time. When disconnecting, grasp the power cord by the plug and pull straight out of the electrical socket. Never pull by the cord and do not pull out at an angle.
•Do not connect the AC power cord to a voltage transformer or inverter.
Notes on safety when using the analog controller (DUALSHOCK®2)*
•Stop using the console immediately if you begin to feel tired or if you experience discomfort or pain in your hands or arms while operating the analog controller (DUALSHOCK®2). If the condition persists, consult a doctor.
•The analog controller (DUALSHOCK®2) is intended for use with the hands only. Do not bring it into contact with your head, face or the bones of any other part of the body.
•The vibration function of the analog controller (DUALSHOCK®2) can aggravate injuries. Do not use the vibration function if you have any ailment or injury to the bones, joints or muscles of your hands or arms. Note that some PlayStation®2 and PlayStation® format software titles set the vibration function to "On" by default. In most cases, the vibration function can be set to "Off" in the options menu of the software. If you have an ailment or an injury, do not play such titles using the analog controller (DUALSHOCK®2) unless you have set the vibration function to "Off".
•Avoid prolonged use of the analog controller (DUALSHOCK®2). Take a break at about 30-minute intervals.
* These notes also apply to the analog controller (DUALSHOCK®).
Network (except Local Area Networks)
•A broadband Internet connection is required to connect to a network.
•When you connect your PlayStation®2 console to a network, the Internet service provider may charge additional usage fees. In some cases, usage charges may be more than anticipated. For details, refer to the information provided in your service contract or contact your Internet service provider.
Do not connect network cables or telephone cords of the following types to the network connector:
•Network cables not appropriate for use with a 10Base-T/100Base-TX network
•Standard residential telephone lines
•Any ISDN (digital) compatible phone or data line
•PBX phone lines
•Other "unknown" types of telephone lines
Disc handling
•Do not touch the disc surface when handling a disc; hold it by the edges.
•Do not stick paper or tape onto discs and do not write on discs.
•Fingerprints, dust, dirt or scratches on the disc can distort the picture or reduce sound quality. Always handle carefully and make sure discs are clean before use.
•Do not leave discs near a heat source, in direct sunlight or in high humidity.
•Store discs in their cases when not in 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 |
US |
|

||
|
•Do not use irregularly shaped discs (for example, heartor star-shaped discs) or damaged, re-shaped or repaired discs.
Do not move the console with a disc inserted
Do not move or change the position of the console with a disc inserted. The vibration may result in scratching of the disc or the console.
Never disassemble the console or supplied accessories
Use the PlayStation®2 console and accessories according to the instructions in this manual. No authorization for the analysis or modification of the console, or the analysis and use of its circuit configurations, is provided. There are no userserviceable components inside the PlayStation®2 console. Disassembling the console will void the warranty. Additionally, there is a risk of exposure to laser radiation as well as to electrical shock hazards.
When connecting the console to a plasma or projection* TV
Do not leave a still image on the TV screen for an extended period of time, as this may leave a faint image permanently on the screen.
* Except LCD screen types.
Moisture condensation
If the console or 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 turn off and unplug the console. Do not put the disc back in until the moisture evaporates (this may take several hours). If the console still does not operate properly, call SCEA Consumer Services at 1-800-345-7669 for assistance.
Precautions 7
Cleaning
•For safety reasons, before cleaning the console or connected accessories, 1) turn off the console, 2) disconnect the power plug for the console from the electrical outlet, and 3) disconnect the network cable from the console.
•If the exterior of the console 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. Avoid wiping the front vents with a damp cloth.
•When dust accumulates in the console vents, remove the dust with a low-powered vacuum cleaner.
•Do not touch the lens located inside the disc cover. To help protect the lens from dust, keep the disc cover closed except when inserting or removing discs.
