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 power cord for damage and for dust build-up around the 

power plug or electrical outlet.

• 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 becomes too hot to touch.

• Contact the appropriate PlayStation

®

 customer service helpline which can be 

found within every PlayStation

software manual.

• Use in a well-lit area and keep a safe distance from the TV screen.
• Avoid prolonged use of the PS3™ system. Take a 15-minute break during each 

hour of play.

• Avoid playing when you are tired or need sleep.
• Stop 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.

• If 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

• Keep the system and accessories, including cable ties and fasteners, out of the 

reach of small children.

• Do not connect cables other than a USB cable while the system is turned on (power 

indicator lit solid green).

• Do not touch the system or connected cables or accessories during an electrical 

storm.

• Do not use the system or accessories near water.
• Do not allow liquid, small particles or other foreign objects to get into the system 

or accessories.

• Do not touch the connectors of the system or accessories.
• Do 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.

• Do not expose the system or accessories to high temperatures, high humidity or 

direct sunlight.

• Do not place the system or accessories on surfaces that are unstable, tilted or 

subject to vibration.

• Do not set the system other than in the vertical or horizontal position. Also, do not 

change the position while the system is turned on.

• Be careful when carrying the system. If you do not have a good grip, the system 

may drop causing potential damage or injury.

• Do not move or change the position of the system with a disc inserted. The 

vibration may result in scratching of the disc or the system.

• Do not turn off the system while data is being saved on or loaded from the hard 

disk.

• Do not stand on or put objects on the system, and do not stack the system with other 

devices. 

• Do not place the system and connected accessories on the floor or in a place where 

they may cause someone to trip or stumble.

• Do not allow bodily contact with the system or air from the system vents for an 

extended period of time while in use. Extended contact under these conditions may 
cause low-temperature burns.

• 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

• Parents are encouraged to monitor children in online activities to ensure safe and 

responsible Internet usage.
