Precautions
About HDD Utility Disc (ver 1.10)
HDD Utility Disc (ver 1.10) is compatible only with
PlayStation
® 2 consoles that have the symbol
marked on the console rear.
HDD Utility Disc (ver 1.10) is exclusively for use
with the PlayStation
® 2 computer entertainment
system.
Never use this disc on other hardware, as doing
so may cause serious damage to the hardware, or
result in health hazards to the eyes and ears.
Disc handling
• Do not touch the disc surface when handling HDD
Utility Disc (ver 1.10); hold it by the edges.
• Do not leave the disc near a heat source, in direct
sunlight, or in high humidity.
• Do not stick paper or tape onto the disc.
• Do not write on the disc with a marker or other
writing utensil.
• Always place the disc in the disc tray with the label
side facing up (data side down).
• Do not use the disc if it is cracked or warped, or has
been repaired with adhesives, as this may damage the
console or cause a malfunction.
• Store the disc in its case when not in use. Stacking
discs or standing them at an angle without putting
them in their cases can cause the discs to warp or get
damaged.
• Do not insert a finger or any other object through the
disc hole. Personal injury or damage to the disc may
result.
• Never throw the disc as this may damage it.
• Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. and its
subsidiaries and affiliates will not be held liable for
any injury or damage resulting from the mishandling
of discs.
When cleaning HDD Utility Disc (ver 1.10)
• Fingerprints or dust on the disc can distort the picture
or reduce sound quality. Always make sure that the
disc is clean before use.
• Clean the disc using a soft cloth, lightly wiping from
the center outwards.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, commercially
available cleaners not intended for CDs, or anti-static
spray intended for vinyl LPs, as these may damage
your disc.
Health precautions
To help prevent health hazards, please observe the
following.
• Do not watch the TV screen continuously for long
periods of time. Doing so may cause eye fatigue, and
may reduce your eyesight. If you feel any discomfort
or pain while viewing the TV screen, stop using the
software at once and take a rest.
If the symptoms do not go away even after taking a
break, consult your physician.
Static image warning
Static, non-moving images, such as DVD menus,
configuration displays, or paused images may leave a
permanent faint image on the TV screen if left on for
extended periods of time. Projection TVs are more
susceptible to this than other types of displays. Do not
operate the PlayStation
® 2 console in such a manner that
this could occur.
