Read before operating your “PlayStation”

A few people may experience epileptic seizures when viewing flashing lights or patterns in our daily environment. These persons may experience seizures while watching TV pictures or playing video games. Even players who have never had any seizures may nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition. Consult your doctor before playing video games if you have an epileptic condition or should you experience any of the following symptoms during play: altered vision, muscle twitching, other involuntary movements, loss of awareness of your surroundings, mental confusion, and/or convulsions.

This appliance is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER product. The CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT MARKING is located on the bottom of the “PlayStation”.

On safety

• The laser beam emitted from the lens of your “PlayStation” is harmful to the eyes. Do not disassemble the casing. Servicing should be carried out by qualified personnel only.

• Should any solid objects or liquid fall into your “PlayStation”, unplug it immediately and have it checked by qualified personnel before any further use.

• When not in use, disconnect your “PlayStation” from the mains. When disconnecting, grasp the plug and pull it from the wall socket. Never pull the cord itself.

For your health

• Be sure to take a break of about 15 minutes during every hour of play.

• Do not play a game when you are very tired or short of sleep.

• Play in a well lit room, sitting as far from the screen as the cord will allow.

On operation

• Operate your “PlayStation” only on 220 - 240 V AC, 50 Hz.

• Do not cover your “PlayStation” during use as heat may build up internally.

• Avoid rough handling or mechanical shock and do not put any heavy objects on your “PlayStation”. This could damage the console or the disc.

• Do not leave your “PlayStation” near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight (operating temperature: 5˚C-35˚C), excessive dust or sand, moisture, rain, on an uneven surface, or in a car with its windows closed.

• If your “PlayStation” causes interference to radio or television receptions, turn it off or move it away from those appliances.

• Do not touch the lens inside the disc cover. To protect the lens from dust, keep the disc cover closed except when inserting or removing a disc. If the lens is not clean, your “PlayStation” may not operate properly.

• Your “PlayStation” is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

About the discs

You can use the two kinds of discs with your “PlayStation”: CD-ROM discs with both “PlayStation” logo and [PAL] designation, and audio CDs.

On handling discs

• Do not leave the discs near heat sources or in direct sunlight or excessive moisture.

• Store the discs in their cases when they’re not in use.

• When handling the discs, do not touch the surface. Hold them by the edge.

• Do not stick paper or tape on the discs.

• Do not write on the discs with a marker, etc.

On moisture condensation

If your “PlayStation” is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside. Should this occur, your “PlayStation” may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc for several hours until the moisture evaporates. If your “PlayStation” still does not operate properly, ring the “PlayStation” service line number listed on your customer service card.

Do not connect your “PlayStation” to a projection TV

Do not connect your “PlayStation” to a projection TV unless it is the LCD type. Permanent damage to your TV screen could otherwise result.

Never analyse or remodel your “PlayStation”

Use your “PlayStation” following the instructions in this manual. Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. expressly prohibits the analysis or remodelling of the “PlayStation”, and also prohibits the analysis, use of its circuit configurations without express written permission of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.

Precautions

Your”PlayStation” is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.
