• Do not touch or insert foreign objects into the connectors of the 
system or accessories.
• 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 
the AC Adaptor may reach temperatures of 40° C 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 the AC 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
• 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 use a power source other than the supplied (or approved 
replacement) Battery Pack and AC Adaptor.
• 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, disconnect any 
other cables 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 Adaptor from being walked on or compressed 
particularly at plugs 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 socket. Never pull by the cord and do 
not pull at an angle.
• Do not use the system to play games, video or music when the 
system is covered with any type of fabric. If you want to pause or 
temporarily store the system while playing games, video or music, 
put the system in Sleep Mode before placing it in case or covering.
• 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.
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be 
easily accessible.
• The LCD screen is made of glass and may crack if subjected to 
excessive force.
• Black (dark) pixels and continuously lit pixels 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.
• 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 rises.
• 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.
