Precautions
When connecting the console 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
Note on safety when playing DVDs or CDs
If you set the volume too high, it may harm your hearing or damage the speakers.
Exercise care when setting the volume.
Moisture condensation
If the console or disc is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one, moisture
may condense on the lens inside the console or on the disc. Should this occur, the
console may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and turn off and
unplug the console. Do not put the disc back in until the moisture evaporates (this
may take several hours). If the console still does not operate properly, contact the
appropriate PlayStation
®
customer service helpline which can be found within every
PlayStation
®
and PlayStation
®
2 format software manual.
Cleaning
• For safety reasons, before cleaning the console or connected accessories, 1) turn
off the console, 2) disconnect the power plug for the console from the electrical
outlet, and 3) remove the network cable from the network connector.
• When cleaning the console, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinner, solvents,
other chemicals or a chemically-treated dust cloth to clean the product.
• When dust accumulates in the console vents, remove the dust with a low-powered
vacuum cleaner.
• Do not touch the lens located inside the disc cover. To help protect the lens from
dust, keep the disc cover closed except when inserting or removing discs.
Exterior protection

• Do not spill liquids such as alcohol, benzine, paint thinner or other chemicals on
the product.
• Do not place any rubber, vinyl or plastic items on the painted surfaces for an
extended period of time.
