Wireless Controller*
Do not use the vibration function if you have any ailment or injury to the bones,
joints or muscles of your hands or arms. If you have an ailment or an injury, do
not play such titles using the DUALSHOCK

have set the vibration function to [Off].
When using the motion sensor function of the Wireless Controller, be cautious of
the following points. If the controller hits a person or object, this may cause
accidental injury or damage.
– Before using the motion sensor function, make sure you have enough space
to move around.
– Firmly grip the Wireless Controller to prevent it from slipping out of your grasp
and causing damage or injury.
– When using the Wireless Controller with a USB cable, ensure that the cable
cannot hit a person or any object, and do not pull the cable out of the PS3™

* These notes also apply to other controllers.
Vents
Do not block any vents. To maintain good ventilation, follow the guidelines below:
Place the system at least 10 cm away from a wall surface.
Do not place on a carpet or rug with long fibres.
Do not place in a narrow or cramped space.
Do not cover with cloth.
Do not allow dust to build up on the vents.
AC power cord use
To help ensure safe operation, regularly inspect the AC power cord. If
damaged, stop use immediately and contact the appropriate PlayStation

software manual.
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.
Do not allow dust or foreign matter to build up around the AC IN connector.
Before connecting or plugging in the AC power cord, check that there is no
dust or foreign matter in or on the power plug or connecting end of the cord,
the electrical outlet or the AC IN connector on the system rear. If the plug or
connector becomes dirty, wipe off with a dry cloth before connecting.
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

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.
