Precautions
On safety
•The laser beam emitted from the lens of your “PlayStation” is harmful to the eyes. Do not attempt to 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.
•Disconnect your “PlayStation” from the mains if you do not intend to use it for any length of time. When doing this, 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, 50/60 Hz.
•Do not cover your “PlayStation” during use as heat may build up internally.
•Avoid rough handling or knocks and do not put any heavy objects on top of 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 reception, turn it off or move it away from the radio or television.
•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 the disc. If the lens is not clean, your “PlayStation” may not operate properly.
About the discs
•You can use two kinds of discs with your “PlayStation”: CD-ROM discs with both “PlayStation” logo and [PAL] designation, and audio CD discs.
•Some discs sold in foreign countries cannot be used with this unit.
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, call the appropriate “PlayStation” customer service number, which can be found on the customer registration card, within every “PlayStation”software manual and on our website www.playstation-europe.com
