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.
• Do not handle damaged or leaking lithium-ion batteries. If the
internal battery fluid leaks, stop using the product
immediately and contact technical support for assistance. If
the fluid gets into your eyes, immediately rinse the affected
area with clean water and consult your physician. The battery
fluid can cause blindness.
Use and handling
• Use in a well-lit area and keep the screen a safe distance from
your face.
• Hold the system securely in your hand when you use the
system.
• Avoid prolonged use of the PS Vita system. To help prevent
eyestrain, take a break of about 15 minutes during every hour
of play.
• Exercise care when setting the volume. If you set the volume
too high, it may harm your hearing or damage the speakers.
• Keep the system and accessories out of the reach of small
children. Small children may swallow the media cards or wrap
the cables/straps around themselves, which may inflict injury
or cause an accident or a malfunction. Media cards may
present a choking hazard.
• Do not use the system while driving or riding a bicycle.
Looking at the screen or operating the system while driving an
automobile or riding a bicycle may result in a traffic accident.
• Take extra care when using the system while walking.
• Do not use the system or accessories near water.
• Do not use the system in places where the use of wireless
communication devices is prohibited, such as on aeroplanes
or in hospitals. The radio waves the system emits can affect
electronic devices and cause them to malfunction, which can
lead to accidents. When using the system in a medical facility,
be sure to follow all of the rules of that facility. When using the
system on an aeroplane, go to
(Settings)
[Start] and
tap the checkbox for [Flight Mode] to mark it with a
checkmark before using it. Turn off the system when taking off
and landing. If you use the system on aeroplanes where the
use of such devices is prohibited, you will be liable to legal
punishment.
