Precautions
Before using this product, carefully read this manual and retain it for future reference. Parents
and guardians of children should read this manual and make sure that the child follows all
safety precautions.
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, AC power cord and USB cable.
•If your PS Vita TV system is damaged, do not use it. Unplug the AC power cord from the
electrical outlet and disconnect any other cables immediately.
•Stop 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 if it or the AC adaptor becomes too hot to touch.
•Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) and its subsidiaries and affiliates strongly
recommends using, with your PS Vita TV system, only genuine Sony AC adaptor, AC power
cord and USB cable that are compatible with your model of the PS Vita TV system. Because
SCEI and its subsidiaries and affiliates cannot assure the safe use and operation of other
types of AC adaptor, AC power cord and USB cable, the use of any such AC adaptor, AC
power cord or USB cable with any PS Vita TV system voids the warranty on the PS Vita TV
system.
•Do not handle damaged or leaking Lithium-Ion batteries.
•If you come into contact with material from a leaking battery, 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.
•Do not allow the battery 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.
•Contact Customer Service Hotline if the device does not operate properly.
Use and handling
•Avoid prolonged use of the PS Vita TV system. To help prevent eyestrain, take a break of
about 15 minutes during every hour of play.
•If you experience any of the following health problems, discontinue use of the system
immediately. If symptoms persist, consult with your physician.
– 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 out of the reach of small children. Small children may
swallow the media cards or wrap the cables/straps around themselves, which may inflict
injury or cause an accident or a malfunction. Media cards may present a choking hazard.
•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.
