precautions.
Safety
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 adaptor, AC power cord and USB
cable.
• If your PS Vita system is damaged, do not use it. Unplug the
AC power cord from the electrical outlet and disconnect any
other cables immediately.
• 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 if it or the AC adaptor becomes too hot to touch.
• Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC (SCEA) strongly
recommends using, with your PS Vita system, only genuine
Sony AC adaptor, AC power cord and USB cable that are
compatible with your model of the PS Vita system. Because
SCEA cannot assure the safe use and operation of other types
of AC adaptor, AC power cord and USB cable, the use of any
such AC adaptor, AC power cord or USB cable with any PS
Vita system voids the warranty on the PS Vita system.
• Do not handle damaged or leaking lithium-ion batteries.
• Visit us.playstation.com/support or contact SCEA Consumer
Services at 1-800-345-7669 if the device does not operate
properly.
Use and handling
• Use in a well-lit area and keep the screen a safe distance from
your face.
• Avoid prolonged use of the PS Vita system. To help prevent
eyestrain, take a break of about 15 minutes during every hour
of play.
• If you experience any of the following health problems,
discontinue use of the system immediately. If symptoms
persist, consult with your physician.
– 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
• Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones or
headphones are used at high volume. Set the volume to a
safe level. Over time, increasingly loud audio may start to
sound normal but can actually be damaging your hearing. If
you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop
listening and have your hearing checked. The louder the
volume, the sooner your hearing could be affected. To protect
your hearing:
– Limit the amount of time you use earphones or headphones
at high volume.
– Avoid raising the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
– Lower the volume if you can't hear people speaking near
you.
• Keep the system and accessories out of the reach of small
children. Small children may swallow the media cards or wrap
