Precautions
Do not touch the plug of the AC power cord with wet hands.
Protect the AC power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at
plugs, expansion receptacles and the point where the cord exits from the
system.
Do not place heavy items on the cord.
Do not place the AC power cord near heating equipment and do not expose
the cord to heat.
Unplug the AC power cord from the electrical outlet before cleaning or moving
the system, or when you do not intend to use the system for an extended period
of time. When disconnecting, grasp the power cord by the plug and pull
straight out of the electrical outlet. Never pull by the cord and do not pull out at
an angle.
Do not connect the AC power cord to a voltage transformer or inverter.
Connecting the AC power cord to a voltage transformer for overseas travel or
an inverter for use in an automobile may cause heat to build up in the system
and may cause burns or a malfunction.
Never disassemble or modify the system or accessories
Use the PS3™ system and accessories according to the instructions in the
product documentation. No authorization for the analysis or modification of the
system or accessories, or the analysis and use of its circuit configurations, is
provided. Unauthorized modification of the system or accessories will void your
warranty. There are no user serviceable components inside the PS3™ system (the
supplied hard disk may be removed but not disassembled or modified).
Additionally, there is a risk of exposure to laser radiation as well as to electrical
shock.
Network
A broadband connection is required to access the Internet. Note that dial-up
connectivity is not supported.
User is responsible for Internet service fees. For details, refer to the information
provided in your service contract or contact your Internet service provider.
Do not use a cord for a standard residential telephone line or cables of types
other than those mentioned here. Using the wrong type of cord or cable can
cause more electrical current than necessary to flow through the LAN
connector, which may lead to heat build-up, fire or malfunction.
Wireless networking feature
The 2.4 GHz range of radio waves used by the wireless networking feature of
this product is a range shared by various devices. This product has been
designed to minimize the effect of other devices using the same range.
However, in some cases interference from other devices may reduce the
connection speed, shorten the signal range or cause the connection to be
terminated unexpectedly.
When using the PS3™ system’s scan function to select a wireless LAN access
point, access points that are not intended for public use may be displayed.
Only connect to an access point that you are authorized to use.
Moisture condensation
If the system or disc is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one,
moisture may condense on the lens inside the system or on the disc. Should this
occur, the system may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and
turn off and unplug the system. Do not put the disc back in until the moisture
evaporates (this may take several hours). If the system still does not operate
properly, contact SCEA Consumer Services ( back cover) for assistance.
Cleaning
For safety reasons, before cleaning the system or connected accessories,
disconnect the AC power cord from the electrical outlet.
