– Do not wrap the AC power cord or USB cable around the
PS Vita system or around the AC adaptor.
– Do not place the AC adaptor or AC power cord near a heat
source or allow them to get hot.
– Do not subject the AC power cord to tension.
– 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.
– Protect the AC power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, electrical socket and the point
where they exit from the system.
– Do not use the PS Vita system or the AC adaptor when they
are covered by a cloth or in their cases.
• 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.
• Use an electrical outlet that is easily accessible, so the AC
power cord can be unplugged quickly if the need arises.
Screen
• The screen (touchscreen) is made of glass and may crack if
subjected to excessive force.
• When using the system, keep the light in the room bright and
keep as far away from the screen as possible.
• Don't press your finger on the screen with excessive force.
Also, do not scrape or scratch the screen with anything hard,
such as metal, or anything with a sharp tip (such as a pencil
or your fingernails). Any of these actions may damage or
break the screen.
• Prolonged contact with water or dust may damage the screen
and shorten its life.
• Black (dark) pixels and continuously lit pixels may appear in
certain locations on the screen. The appearance of such
spots is a normal occurrence associated with screens and is
not a sign of a system malfunction. Screens are made using
highly precise technology. However, a very small number of
dark pixels or continuously lit pixels may exist and color
irregularities or brightness irregularities may be visible on
each screen. Also, a distorted image may remain on the
screen for several seconds after the system has been turned
off.
• Direct exposure to sunlight may damage the system's screen.
Be careful when using the system outdoors or near a window.
• When using the system in a cold environment, you may notice
shadows on the graphics or the screen may appear darker
than usual. This is not a malfunction, and the screen will return
to normal when the temperature goes up.
• Do not leave still images displayed on the screen for an
extended period of time. This may cause a faint image to be
left permanently on the screen.
