• Do not allow liquid or small particles to get into the system or
accessories.
• Do not place the system or accessories on surfaces that are tilted,
unstable or subject to vibration.
• Do not throw, drop or step on the system or accessories, and do not
subject the devices to strong physical shock. Sitting down with the
PSP
®
system in a pocket or placing the system in the bottom of a
backpack along with heavy objects may cause damage to the system.
• Do not forcibly twist the PSP
®
system or expose the system to strong
physical shock during gameplay, as doing so can damage the system
or cause the disc cover to open, ejecting the disc. Handle the analog
stick with care.
• Do not put heavy objects on the system or accessories.
• Do not touch or insert foreign objects into the connectors of the
system or accessories.
• Do not place the system close to items with a magnetic strip, such as
credit cards.
• Do not touch the system or AC adaptor for an extended period of
time while in use. Depending on the conditions of use, the system or
AC adaptor may reach temperatures of 40°C/104°F or more.
Extended contact under these conditions may cause low-temperature
burns*.
* Low-temperature burns are burns that occur when the skin is in contact
with objects of relatively low temperatures (40°C or more/104°F or
more) for an extended period of time.
• 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
• Do not touch the mains power plug of the AC power cord with wet
hands.
• Do not touch the AC power cord, AC adaptor or the system, if
connected to an electrical outlet, during an electrical storm.
• Do not use a power source other than the supplied (or approved
replacement) battery pack, AC adaptor and AC power cord.
• Do not allow dust or foreign matter to build up around the system or
accessory connectors. If there is dust or foreign matter on the
system's connectors or the AC power cord, wipe it off with a dry
cloth before connecting. Dust or other matter on the connectors can
result in fire or electrical shock.
• Unplug the AC power cord from the electrical outlet, disconnect any
other cables and remove the battery pack from the system before
cleaning or when you do not intend to use the system for an extended
period of time.
• Protect the AC power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where
they exit from the system.
• When disconnecting the AC power cord, hold it by the plug and pull
straight out from the electrical socket. Never pull by the cord and do
not pull at an angle.
• Do not use the system to play games or video when the system is
covered with any type of fabric. If you want to pause or temporarily
store the system while playing games or video, put the system in
sleep mode before placing it in the case or covering. Also do not use
the AC adaptor when covered with fabric. This may help to avoid
overheating.
• 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 AC adaptor and may cause burns or a
malfunction.
