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.

•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.

Recorded data

In the following cases, data saved on a PlayStation®Vita card or memory card might be lost or corrupted.

•Removing the PS Vita card or turning off the PS TV system while it is saving or loading data.

•Removing the memory card while the PS TV system is turned on.

•Using it in a location that is exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.

If, for any reason, software or data loss or corruption occurs, it is usually not possible to recover the software or data. It is recommended that you regularly back up software and data. Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates will not be held liable for any damages or injury in the case of software or data loss or corruption.

When moisture condensation occurs

If the PS TV system is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one, moisture may condense inside the system and cause it to operate improperly.

Should this occur, turn off and unplug the system. Do not use the PS TV system until the moisture evaporates (this may take several hours). If the system still does not operate properly, contact SCEA Consumer Services.

When your system is not operating correctly

Turn off the power, and then press and hold the (Power) button on the system for at least 7 seconds to turn on the power again. Then connect a controller with a USB cable, and press the (PS) button on the controller. The safe mode screen is displayed. Safe mode is a start-up mode for your system, in which only a few system functions are available for solving problems. If the power will not turn off normally, press and hold the (Power) button on the system for at least 15 seconds. The system restarts, and the safe mode screen is displayed. Once the system has entered safe mode, select the necessary items, and follow the on-screen instructions to perform operations.
