Use and handling
• Do not use the system in a closed cabinet or other locations
where heat may build up. Doing so may cause the system to
overheat and may lead to fire, injury or malfunction.
• If the system's internal temperature becomes elevated, the
power indicator will flash alternately in red and green. In this
case, turn off the system and leave it unused for a while. After
the system cools down, move it to a location with good
ventilation, and then resume use.
• Use in a well-lit area and keep as far away as possible from
the television screen.
• Avoid prolonged use of the PS3™ system and wireless
controller.
• Stop using the system immediately if you begin to feel tired or
if you experience discomfort or pain in your hands or arms
while operating the wireless controller. If the condition
persists, consult a doctor.
• If you experience any of the following health problems,
discontinue use of the system immediately. If symptoms
persist, consult with your doctor.
– Dizziness, nausea, fatigue or symptoms similar to motion
sickness
– Discomfort or pain in a part of the body, such as eyes, ears,
hands or arms
• Keep the system and accessories, including cable ties and
fasteners, out of the reach of small children.
• Do not connect cables other than a USB cable while the
system is turned on (power indicator is lit solid green).
• Any TV or component connected to the system must be
functioning properly and free of defects. If a TV or component
connected to the system is faulty or defective, it may cause
damage to the TV or component, or to the system itself. As
with all electrical products, connection to faulty or defective
components, or the failure to connect to a properly wired
outlet, may cause sparking and pose a fire hazard.
• Do not touch the system or connected cables or accessories
during an electrical storm.
• Do not use the system or accessories near water.
• Do not allow liquid, small particles or other foreign objects to
get into the system or accessories.
• Do not touch the connectors of the system or accessories.
• Do not expose the system or accessories to dust, smoke or
steam. Also, do not place the system in an area subject to
excessive dust or cigarette smoke. Dust build-up or cigarette
smoke residue on the internal components (such as the lens)
may cause the system to malfunction.
• Do not expose the system or accessories to high
temperatures, high humidity or direct sunlight.
• Do not place the system or accessories on surfaces that are
unstable, tilted or subject to vibration.
• Do not set the system other than in the vertical or horizontal
position. When setting the system in the vertical position, use
the vertical stand (sold separately) for this model of the
system. Also, do not change the position of the system while
it is turned on.
• Be careful when carrying the system. If you do not have a
good grip, the system may drop causing potential damage or
injury.
• Keep the disc cover closed except when inserting or
removing discs. Leaving the disc cover open may result in
damage to internal components (such as the lens) or system
malfunction.
• Be careful not to pinch your hands or fingers when closing the
disc cover. This can cause injuries or system malfunction.
• Do not touch a disc while it is spinning. This can cause
injuries, damage to the disc, or system malfunction.
