Avoid prolonged use of the console. Take a break of about 15 minutes during every hour of play.

Do not use the console when you are tired or short of sleep.

Listening to sound continuously for a long time with a high volume may adversely affect the ears. Be careful especially when using headphones. Adjust the volume so that surrounding sounds can be heard.

4 Precautions

Use and handling

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).

Do not leave the console or accessories in a car with its windows closed (particularly in summer).

Do not place the console in locations of poor ventilation such as small, enclosed areas, directly against a wall or on a thick carpet or bedding.

Do not expose the console to dust, smoke or steam. This can cause the console to malfunction.

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.

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

To help ensure safe operation, regularly inspect the AC adaptor and AC power cord. If damaged, stop use immediately and contact the appropriate PlayStation® customer service helpline which can be found within every PlayStation® and PlayStation®2 format software manual.

Do not use a power cord other than the supplied AC adaptor and AC power cord.

Do not connect the AC adaptor and/or 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. 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 other controllers.

Do not connect network cables or telephone cords of the following types to the network connector:

Standard residential telephone lines

Network cables not appropriate for use with a 10Base-T/100Base-TX network

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 - scratched and damaged discs will not function correctly.

Clean discs using a soft cloth, lightly wiping from the centre outwards.

Do not use solvents such as benzine, commercially available cleaners not intended for CDs or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

Do not leave a disc in the console when moving or changing the position of the console.

Do not use irregularly shaped discs (for example, heartor star-shaped discs) or damaged, re-shaped or repaired discs.

Never disassemble the console or supplied accessories

Use the PlayStation®2 console and accessories according to the instructions in this manual. No authorisation 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 guarantee. 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, contact the appropriate PlayStation® customer service helpline which can be found within every PlayStation® and PlayStation®2 format software manual.

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) remove the network cable from the network connector.

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.

Do not use solvents or other chemicals to clean the console exterior, since these may damage the surface. When using a chemically-treated cleaning cloth, follow the usage instructions supplied with the 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.
