• 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.
• When using the SIXAXIS
®
wireless controller motion sensor function, be cautious
of the following points. If the controller hits a person or object, this may cause
accidental injury or damage.
– Before using, check that there is plenty of space around you.
– When using the controller, grip it firmly to make sure it cannot slip out of your
hand.
– If using a controller that is connected to the PS3™ system with a USB cable,
make sure there is enough space for the cable so that the cable will not hit a
person or object. Also, take care to avoid pulling the cable out of the PS3™
system while using the controller.
Do not block any vents. To maintain good ventilation, follow the guidelines below:
• Place the system at least 10 cm (4 in) away from a wall surface.
• Do not place on a carpet or rug with long fibers.
• Do not place in a narrow or cramped space.
• Do not cover with cloth.
• Do not allow dust to build up on the vents.
• To avoid possible damage to the system or a connected TV or component, the AC
power cord must be plugged into a polarized, three-prong, electrical outlet that is
properly wired and grounded.
• Do not plug the AC power cord for the system into an electrical outlet until you
have made all other connections. Make sure the TV or other component is
unplugged from the electrical outlet prior to connecting it to the system.
• To help ensure safe operation, regularly inspect the AC power cord. If damaged,
stop use immediately and contact our technical support: From and within the
Mexico City area: 5002 9819; from outside the Mexico City area: 01 800 759
SONY or 01 800 759 7669.
• Do not use a power cord other than the supplied AC power cord. Do not modify
the cord.
• 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.
