Cleaning
Refer to the precautions section of this manual (page 2) for a
complete description of a safe method for cleaning the console
exterior.
INSTALLATION
Water and Moisture
Do not use the powerline operated console near water – for
example, near a bathtub, kitchen sink, in a wet basement or near a
swimming pool.
Power-Cord Protection
Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against it, paying particular
attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where the cord
exits from the console.
Ventilation
The slots and openings in the console exterior are provided for
necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the console,
and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings must
never be blocked or covered.
– Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other
materials.
– Never block the slots and openings by placing the console on a
bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.
Accessories
Do not place the console on an unstable cart, stand, bracket or
table. The console may fall, causing serious injury to a child or an
adult and serious damage to the console.
Use only the vertical or horizontal stand or other accessories
recommended by the manufacturer to stabilize the console.
An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination to overturn.
For your protection, please read these safety instructions
completely before operating the PlayStation
®
2 console, and
keep this manual for future reference.
Carefully observe all warnings, precautions and instructions
on the console, or those described in the instruction manual
and adhere to them.
USE
Power Sources
This console should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the
type of electrical power supplied to your home, consult your
dealer or local power company. For those units designed to
operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization
The console is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug (a
plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit
into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to
have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the polarized plug by forcing it in.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or convenience
receptacles beyond their capacity, since this can result in fire or
electric shock.
Liquid and Foreign Objects
Never push objects of any kind, other than authorized items, into
the console openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points
or short out parts that could result in a fire or electrical shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the console.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer,
as they may cause hazards.
