the point where they exit from the system.
– Do not cover the AC adaptor or AC power cord with
anything (for example, fabric or paper), to avoid
overheating.
• 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.
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and
shall be easily accessible.
Screen
• The screen (touchscreen) is made of glass and may crack if
subjected to excessive force.
• When using the system, keep the light in the room bright and
keep as far away from the screen as possible.
• Don't press your finger on the screen with excessive force.
Also, do not scrape or scratch the screen with anything hard,
such as metal, or anything with a sharp tip (such as a pencil
or your fingernails). Any of these actions may damage or
break the screen.
• Prolonged contact with water or dust may damage the screen
and shorten its life.
• Black (dark) pixels and continuously lit pixels may appear in
certain locations on the screen. The appearance of such
spots is a normal occurrence associated with screens and is
not a sign of a system malfunction. Screens are made using
highly precise technology. However, a very small number of
dark pixels or continuously lit pixels may exist and color
irregularities or brightness irregularities may be visible on
each screen. Also, a distorted image may remain on the
screen for several seconds after the system has been turned
off.
• Direct exposure to sunlight may damage the system's screen.
Be careful when using the system outdoors or near a window.
• When using the system in a cold environment, you may notice
shadows on the graphics or the screen may appear darker
than usual. This is not a malfunction, and the screen will return
to normal when the temperature goes up.
• Do not leave still images displayed on the screen for an
extended period of time. This may cause a faint image to be
left permanently on the screen.
Left Stick / Right Stick
• You cannot remove the sticks. If you try to remove them, you
could injure yourself or damage the system.
• The sticks cannot be operated by pressing on them. If you
press on them too hard you can damage them.
Using Wi-Fi access points
When connecting to the Internet, access points nearby will be
detected automatically. 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.
Precautions for Data Communication (PCH-1101 only)
Additional charges may be incurred depending on your
contract with your mobile network operator. In particular, with
pay-as-you-go plans and when using data roaming services,
the additional charges may be higher than anticipated. Before
transmitting data over a mobile network on the PS Vita system,
be sure to check the contract payment plan and the settings on
your system. Contact your mobile network operator for details.
GPS feature (PCH-1101 only)
GPS is a system that enables you to know your location by using
the satellite navigation system of the United States.
Hints
• When using the GPS feature in foreign countries, obey the
regulations of the country or region where the system is being used.
• Do not use this as a navigation device for an aircraft or ship or for
mountain climbing. Doing so could cause an accident since the
system may be unable to determine your position due to
measurement errors that may occur or its battery running out.
Positioning
Perform positioning (calculating position) in as empty and open
a location as possible with few buildings or other obstructions of
radio waves. Positioning may take several minutes the first time
you use the GPS feature or when a long time has elapsed since
you last performed positioning. If you are unable to receive
radio waves from the GPS satellite or unable to perform
positioning for several minutes, move to another location and try
again.
Hints
• In the following cases, you may be unable to receive radio waves
from the GPS satellite or the positioning results may contain
discrepancies.
– Indoors, underground, or inside a tunnel
– Near a tall building
– When there are objects surrounding the PS Vita system or the
PS Vita system is inside a carrying bag or case.
– In a dense residential district or street lined with tall buildings
– In an area among dense trees
– Near high voltage power lines
– During bad weather
• The positioning precision may worsen, accurate results may not be
displayed, or errors may occur in position information depending
on the time or environment where positioning is performed.
Region Code
The PlayStation®Vita format software has region codes
assigned to each region where the system is sold. On this
system you can use software for the following regions:
