Precautions

Before using this product, carefully read this manual and retain it for future reference. Parents and guardians of children should read this manual and make sure that the child follows all safety 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.

• Regularly inspect the AC adaptor, AC power cord and HDMI™ cable.

• If your PS TV system is damaged, do not use it. Unplug the AC power cord from the electrical outlet and disconnect any other cables immediately.

• Stop use, unplug the AC power cord from the electrical outlet and disconnect any other cables immediately if the device functions in an abnormal manner, produces unusual sounds or smells or if it or the AC adaptor becomes too hot to touch.

• Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC (SCEA) strongly recommend using, with your PS TV system, only genuine Sony AC adaptor, AC power cord and HDMI cable that are compatible with your model of the PS TV system. Because SCEA cannot assure the safe use and operation of other types of AC adaptor, AC power cord and HDMI cable, the use of any such AC adaptor, AC power cord or HDMI cable with any PS TV system voids the warranty on the PS TV system.

• If you come into contact with material from a leaking battery, take the following actions:

– If the material gets into the eyes, do not rub. Immediately

flush the eyes with clean water and seek medical attention.

– If the material comes into contact with the skin or clothes,

immediately rinse the affected area with clean water. Consult your physician if inflammation or soreness develops.

• Do not allow the battery to come into contact with fire or subject it to extreme temperatures such as in direct sunlight, in a vehicle exposed to the sun or near a heat source.

• The vibration function of the wireless controller 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. If you have an ailment or an injury, do not use the wireless controller to play software titles that contain the vibration function unless you first disable this function.

• Avoid prolonged use of the wireless controller. Take a break at about 30-minute intervals.

• Note that some software titles enable the vibration function by default. To disable the vibration function, first press and hold the PS button on the controller. Remove the checkmark from [Enable Vibration] on the screen that is displayed.

• Avoid looking into the light bar of the controller when it is flashing. Stop using the controller immediately if you experience any discomfort or pain in any body parts.

AC adaptor, AC power cord and HDMI cable use

• Do not plug the AC power cord for the system into an electrical outlet until you have connected the HDMI cable. Make sure the TV or other component is unplugged from the electrical outlet prior to connecting it to the system.

• Do not touch the plug of the AC power cord with wet hands.

• Do not touch the AC power cord, AC adaptor, HDMI cable or the system, if connected to an electrical outlet, during an electrical storm.

– When disconnecting the AC power cord, hold it by the

plug and pull straight out from the electrical socket. Never pull by the cord and do not pull at an angle.

– Protect the AC power cord from being walked on or

pinched particularly at plugs, electrical socket and the point where they exit from the system.

– Do not us e the PS TV sys tem or the AC adap tor when they

are covered by a cloth or in their cases. Heat may build up and cause a fire or damage to the system.

• Do not connect the AC power cord to a voltage transformer or inverter. Connecting the AC power cord to a voltage transformer for overseas travel or an inverter for use in an automobile may cause heat to build up in the AC adaptor and may cause burns or a malfunction.

• Use an electrical outlet that is easily accessible, so the AC power cord can be unplugged quickly if the need arises.

• Use the PS TV system and accessories according to the instructions in this manual. No authorization for the analysis or modification of the system, or the analysis and use of its circuit configurations, is provided. Disassembling will void the system warranty. Additionally, there is a risk of fire, electrical shock or malfunction.

Network

• A broadband connection is required to access the Internet. Note that dial-up connectivity is not supported.

• You are responsible for Internet service fees. For details, refer to the information provided in your service contract or contact your Internet service provider.

• Do not use a cord for a standard residential telephone line or cables of types other than those mentioned here. Using the wrong type of cord or cable can cause more electrical current than necessary to flow through the LAN connector, which may lead to heat build-up, fire or malfunction.

Using Wi-Fi access points

• The 2.4 GHz range of radio waves used by the wireless networking feature of this product is a range shared by various devices. This product has been designed to minimize the effect of other devices using the same range. However, in some cases interference from other devices may reduce the connection speed, shorten the signal range or cause the connection to be terminated unexpectedly.

• When connecting to the Internet using the Wi-Fi feature, the system automatically detects nearby access points. An access point that you are not authorized to use may be included among the detected devices. Only connect to a personal access point that you are authorized to use, or one that is available through a commercial Wi-Fi service. The user is responsible for all fees associated with Wi-Fi access.
