Notes on safety when using the analog controller
(DUALSHOCK
• 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 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 other controllers.
®2)*
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. For details, refer to the information
provided in your service contract or contact your Internet service provider.
• Parents are encouraged to monitor children in online gaming to ensure safe and
responsible Internet usage.
Cable compatibility
Do not connect cables or telephone cords of the following types to the network

• Other "unknown" types of telephone lines
If you connect the wrong type of cable, too much electrical current may pass through
the connector, causing a malfunction, excessive heat or fire in the connector.
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
for CDs or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.
• Do not use irregularly shaped discs (for example, heart- or star-shaped discs) or
damaged, reshaped or repaired discs.
Never disassemble the console or supplied accessories
Use the PlayStation®2 console and accessories according to the instructions in the
product documentation. No authorization for the analysis or modification of the
console, or the analysis and use of its circuit configurations, is provided. There are

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 SCEA
