6 Precautions
Carefully read the supplied instructions before use. Retain them for
future reference.
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 or the AC Power Cord for damage
and for dust build-up around the power plug or electrical outlet.
• Stop use, unplug the AC Adaptor or 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 becomes too hot to touch.
• Use in a well-lit area and keep the screen a safe distance from your
face.
• Avoid prolonged use of the PSP ® 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,
as small children may swallow small parts such as Memory Stick
Duo™.
• 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.
• Do not use the system or accessories near water.
• Use only attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
• Do not expose the system or accessories to high temperatures, high
humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Do not leave the system or accessories in a car with the windows
closed (particularly in summer).
• Do not expose the system or accessories to dust, smoke or steam.
• Do not allow liquid or small particles to get into the system or
accessories.
• Do not place the system or accessories on surfaces that are tilted,
unstable or subject to vibration.
• Do not throw, drop or step on the system or accessories, and do not
subject the devices to strong physical shock. Sitting down with the
PSP
® system in a pocket or placing the system in the bottom of a
backpack along with heavy objects may cause damage to the system.
• Do not forcibly twist the PSP ® system or expose the system to strong
physical shock during gameplay, as doing so can damage the system
or cause the disc cover to open, ejecting the disc. Handle the analog
stick with care.
• Do not put heavy objects on the system or accessories.
