12 Precautions

• Do not use the system or accessories near water.

• Use only attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

• Do not use the headphones if they cause discomfort to your skin.

If the supplied headphones cause discomfort to your skin, discontinue use

immediately. If symptoms do not subside even after discontinuing use, seek

medical attention.

• Do not expose the system or accessories to high temperatures, high humidity,

or direct sunlight.

• Do not leave the system or accessories in a car with the windows closed

(particularly in summer).

• Do not expose the system or accessories to dust, smoke or steam.

• Do not allow liquid or small particles to get into the system or accessories.

• Do not place the system or accessories on surfaces that are tilted, unstable or

subject to vibration.

• Do not throw, drop or step on the system or accessories, and do not subject

the devices to strong physical shock. Sitting down with the PSP™ system in

a pocket or placing the system in the bottom of a backpack along with heavy

objects may cause damage to the system.

• Do not forcibly twist the PSP™ system or expose the system to strong

physical shock during gameplay, as doing so can damage the system or cause

the disc cover to open, ejecting the disc. Handle the analog stick with care.

• Do not put heavy objects on the system or accessories.

• Do not touch or insert foreign objects into the connectors of the system or

accessories.

• Do not place the system close to items with a magnetic strip, such as credit

cards.

• Do not touch the system or AC adaptor for an extended period of time while

in use. Depending on the conditions of use, the system or AC adaptor may

reach temperatures of 40°C/104°F or more. Extended contact under these

conditions may cause low-temperature burns*.

* Low-temperature burns are burns that occur when the skin is in contact with objects of

relatively low temperatures (40°C or more/104°F or more) for an extended period of time.

AC adaptor and AC power cord use

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

• Do not touch the AC power cord, AC adaptor or the system, if connected to

an electrical outlet, during an electrical storm.

• Do not use a power source other than the supplied battery pack, AC adaptor

Precautions

masterpage:Right

• Do not allow dust or foreign matter to build up around the system or accessory

connectors. If there is dust or foreign matter on the system's connectors or the

AC power cord, wipe it off with a dry cloth before connecting. Dust or other

matter on the connectors can result in fire or electrical shock.

• Unplug the AC power cord from the electrical outlet and remove the battery

pack from the system before cleaning or when you do not intend to use the

system for an extended period of time.

• Protect the AC power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at

plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from the system.

• 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.

• Do not use the system to play games or video when the system is covered with

any type of fabric. If you want to pause or temporarily store the system while

playing games or video, put the system in sleep mode before placing it in the

pouch. Also do not use the AC adaptor when covered with fabric. This may

help 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.

LCD screen

• The LCD screen is made of glass and may crack if subjected to excessive

force.

• Red, blue or green spots (bright spots) or black spots (dark spots) may appear

in certain locations on the LCD screen. The appearance of such spots is a

normal occurrence associated with LCD screens and is not a sign of a

malfunction. LCD screens are made using highly precise technology.

However, a very small number of dark pixels or continuously lit pixels exist

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 LCD 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.

14 Precautions

• 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.

Memory Stick Duo™

For best results, follow these guidelines:

• Do not touch the connector area (A) with your hands or with metal objects.

• Do not press hard when writing on the memo area (B).

• Do not insert a Memory Stick Duo™ into a device designed to accept only

standard-size Memory Stick™ media.

• Do not use or store a Memory Stick Duo™ in the following:

– Places subject to high temperatures, such as in a hot vehicle

– Locations exposed to direct sunlight

– Locations that are very humid or conducive to corrosion

• Use the supplied case to carry or store the Memory Stick Duo™.

• When using Memory Stick Duo™ media without an erasure prevention

switch, take care not to overwrite or delete data by accident. If your Memory

Stick Duo™ media has an erasure prevention switch, you can prevent data

from being saved, edited, or deleted by setting the switch in the LOCK

position.

xRecorded data

Do not use the Memory Stick Duo™ in the following ways, as doing so may

result in data loss or corruption:

• Removing the Memory Stick Duo™ or turning off the system while it is

loading or saving data or being formatted.

• 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.

Precautions

masterpage:Right

Pouch

• If you want to pause or temporarily store the system while playing games or

video, put the system in sleep mode before placing it in the pouch. This may

help to avoid overheating.

• Put both the PSP™ system and the remote control in hold mode to help

prevent unintended operation.

Never disassemble the system or supplied accessories

Use the PSP™ 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. The LCD screen, in particular, contains dangerous, high-

voltage parts, and the laser beam for reading UMD™ may cause visual

impairment if exposed directly to the eyes.

Using the access point

When using the PSP™ system's 'Scan' function to select the wireless LAN

access point, access points that are not intended for public use may be

displayed. Only connect to a personal access point that you are authorized to

use, or one that is available through a public wireless LAN or hotspot service.

Overseas use

Depending on the country, there are limitations on the use of certain types of

radio waves. In some cases, use of the system may lead to a fine or other

penalty.

Moisture condensation

Precautions

masterpage:Right

Battery pack precautions

Do not handle a damaged or leaking battery pack.

Contact with the material can result in injury or burns to the eyes or skin. Even

if foreign substances are not immediately visible, chemical changes in the

material can result in injuries occurring at a later time.

Handle the battery pack with care.

The battery pack may explode or present a fire or chemical burn hazard if it is

not handled carefully.

• Do not allow the battery pack 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.

• Do not cause the battery pack to short-circuit.

• Do not disassemble or tamper with the battery pack.

• Prevent damage to the battery pack. Do not carry or store the battery pack

with metal items such as coins or keys. If damaged, discontinue use.

• Do not throw or drop the battery pack or subject it to strong physical shock.

• Do not put heavy objects on or apply pressure to the battery pack.

• Do not allow the battery pack to come into contact with liquids. If it becomes

wet, discontinue use until it is completely dry.

• Keep the battery pack out of the reach of small children.

• If the PSP™ system will not be used for an extended period of time, remove

the battery pack and store it in a cool, dry place out of the reach of children.

• Use only the supplied battery pack or a replacement marked for use with the

PSP™ system.

• Use only the designated AC adaptor to charge the battery pack.

Warnings

If you come into contact with material from a leaking battery pack, 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.

• If the PSP™ system is left unused after the battery runs out, the date and time settings may

be reset. If this occurs, the date and time setting screen will be displayed the next time the

system is turned on.

• The battery cannot be recharged when the WLAN feature is in use.

*1 Based on tests conducted using the supplied battery pack, with the system in single

player mode, with headphones with remote control in use, and with wireless LAN not in

use.

*2 Based on tests conducted using variables of system speakers versus headphones, volume

level and screen brightness level.

Hint

Battery duration may vary depending on the type of content being played or usage

conditions such as screen brightness and environmental factors. As battery ages, anticipate

lower battery duration.

When using the supplied battery pack, it takes approximately 2 hours and 20

minutes to fully charge the battery using the AC adaptor after the battery has

run out.

Hints

• Charge in a temperature of 10°C to 30°C/50°F to 86°F. Charging may not be as effective

in other environments.

• Charging may take longer when the system is turned on during charging.

The battery pack has a limited lifespan. Battery duration will decrease with

repeated usage and age. If the battery duration becomes extremely short, it may

be time to replace the battery pack.
