Before using this product, carefully read this manual and retain 
it for future reference. Parents and guardians of children should 
read this guide and make sure that the child follows all safety 
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
