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:
ˎObserve all warnings, precautions and instructions.
ˎRegularly inspect the AC power cord for damage and for
dust build-up around the power plug or electrical outlet.
ˎStop use, unplug the AC power cord 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.
ˎContact the appropriate PlayStation®customer service
helpline which can be found within every PlayStation®3
software manual.
Use and handling
ˎDo 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.
ˎIf 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.
ˎUse in a well-lit area and keep a safe distance from the TV
screen.
ˎAvoid prolonged use of the PS3™ system. Take a 15-minute
break during each hour of play.
ˎAvoid playing when you are tired or need sleep.
ˎStop 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.
ˎIf you experience any of the following health problems,
discontinue use of the system immediately. If symptoms
persist, consult a 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
ˎKeep the system and accessories, including cable ties and
fasteners, out of the reach of small children.
ˎDo not connect cables other than a USB cable while the
system is turned on (power indicator lit solid green).
ˎDo not touch the system or connected cables or
accessories during an electrical storm.
ˎDo not use the system or accessories near water.
ˎDo not allow liquid, small particles or other foreign objects
to get into the system or accessories.
ˎDo not touch the connectors of the system or accessories.
ˎDo 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.
