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.

 Stop use, unplug the AC adaptor from the electrical outlet and

disconnect any other cables immediately if the device functions

in an abnormal manner, produces unusual sounds or smells or

becomes too hot to touch, or has become misshapen.

Precautions

Use and handling

 Use in a well-lit area and keep the screen a safe distance from

your face.

 Avoid prolonged use of the PSP® system. To help prevent

eyestrain, take a break of about 15 minutes during every hour of

play.

 Keep the system and accessories out of the reach of small

children. Small children may swallow the Memory Stick

Micro™ media or wrap the cables/straps around themselves,

which may inflict injury or cause an accident or a malfunction.

 Do not use the system while driving or riding a bicycle.

 Handle the display panel with care when opening and closing.

 Be careful not to pinch your fingers when closing the display

panel.

 Do not use the system or accessories near water.

 Use only attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

 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.

Precautions

 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.

 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.

 Depending on the conditions of use, the system or AC adaptor

may reach temperatures of 40°C or more. Do not touch the

system or AC adaptor for an extended period of time under

these conditions. 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) for an extended period of time.

 When connecting the system to a plasma or projection* TV, do

not leave a still image on the TV screen for an extended period

of time, as this may leave a faint image permanently on the

screen.

* Except LCD screen types

 Parents are encouraged to monitor children in online activities

to ensure safe and responsible Internet usage. Refer to

http://www.ps-playsafeonline.com for further details.

AC adaptor use

 For your safety, use only a supplied AC adaptor. Other types

may cause fire, electrical shocks or a malfunction.

 Do not touch the plug of the AC adaptor with wet hands.

 Do not touch the AC adaptor or the system, if connected to an

electrical outlet, during an electrical storm.

 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 adaptor, 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 adaptor from the electrical outlet and disconnect

any other cables from the system before cleaning or when you

do not intend to use the system for an extended period of time.

 Protect the AC adaptor from being walked on or pinched

particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point

where they exit from the system.

 When disconnecting the AC adaptor, hold it by the plug and

pull straight out from the electrical outlet. 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 case or

covering. Also do not use the AC adaptor when covered with

fabric to help avoid overheating.

 Do not connect the AC adaptor to a voltage transformer or

inverter. Connecting the AC adaptor 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.

10 Precautions

LCD screen

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

excessive force.

 Pixels that are not lit or are continuously lit 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 system 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.

 Do not leave still images displayed on the screen for an

extended period of time, as doing so may cause a faint image to

be left permanently on the screen.

Recorded data

Do not use the Memory Stick Micro™ media in the following

ways, as doing so may result in data loss or corruption:

 Removing the Memory Stick Micro™ media 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.

Never disassemble the system or 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.

Precautions

Using an access point

When using the PSP® system’s search function to select a wireless

network access point, access points that are not intended for

public use may be displayed. Only connect to a personal access

point that you are authorised to use, or one that is available

through a commercial wireless network or hotspot service. User is

responsible for all fees associated with wireless network access.

Use in other countries

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

certain types of radio waves. In some cases, use of the PSP®

system may lead to a fine or other penalty.

Handling and care of exterior surfaces

Follow the guidelines listed below to help avoid deterioration or

discolouration of the PSP® system.

 Do not use solvents or other chemicals to clean the exterior

surface.

 Do not allow the system to remain in direct contact with rubber

or vinyl products for an extended period of time.

 Do not use a chemically-treated cleaning cloth to wipe off the

system.

Before using the analog stick

 Do not attempt to remove the analog stick from the system

front, as doing so will damage the system and may result in

injury.

 For best results, go to (Settings) (System Settings),

and then with the [System Information] screen displayed, rotate

the analog stick in a circular motion to adjust the analog stick’s

range of movement.

Cleaning

For safety reasons, unplug the AC adaptor from the electrical

outlet and disconnect any other cables before cleaning the system.

Cleaning the exterior surface and LCD screen

Wipe gently with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the connectors

If the connectors on the PSP® system or on the USB cable become

dirty, signals may not be sent or received properly. Also, if the

connector on the headphones becomes dirty, you may experience

noise or interruptions in sound. Wipe the connectors with a dry,

soft cloth to keep in clean condition.

Cases and coverings

When placing the PSP® system in a commercially available case,

turn off the power or put the system in sleep mode. Do not use the

system while it is in the case. Leaving the system on, or using it

while in a case or covering may cause overheating or may damage

the system.
