• Do not touch or insert foreign objects into the connectors of the
system or accessories.
• Do not touch the system or AC Adaptor for an extended period of
time while in use. Depending on the conditions of use, the system or
the AC Adaptor may reach temperatures of 40° C or more. Extended
contact under these conditions may cause low-temperature burns*.
* Low-temperature burns are burns that occur when the skin is in contact
with objects of the AC relatively low temperatures (40° C or more) for
an extended period of time.
• When connecting the system 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
AC Adaptor* and AC Power Cord use
• Do not touch the plug of the AC Adaptor or the AC Power Cord with
wet hands.
• Do not touch the AC Adaptor, the AC Power Cord or the system, if
connected to an electrical outlet, during an electrical storm.
• Do not use a power source other than the supplied (or approved
replacement) Battery Pack, AC Adaptor or AC Power Cord.
• Do not allow dust or foreign matter to build up around the system or
accessory connectors. If there is dust or foreign matter on the
system's connectors, the AC Adaptor or the AC Power Cord, wipe it
off with a dry cloth before connecting. Dust or other matter on the
connectors can result in fire or electrical shock.
• Unplug the AC Adaptor or the AC Power Cord from the electrical
outlet, disconnect any other cables and remove the Battery Pack from
the system before cleaning or when you do not intend to use the
system for an extended period of time.
• Protect the AC Adaptor or the AC Power Cord from being walked on
or compressed particularly at plugs and the point where they exit
from the system.
• When disconnecting the AC Adaptor or 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.
• Do not use the system to play games, video or music when the
system is covered with any type of fabric. If you want to pause or
temporarily store the system while playing games, video or music,
put the system in Sleep Mode before placing it in the case or
covering.
• Do not connect the AC Adaptor or the AC Power Cord to a voltage
transformer or inverter. Connecting the AC Adaptor or 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.
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be
easily accessible.
* The PSP-3003 model comes with a combined AC Adaptor and AC Power
Cord.
LCD screen
• The LCD screen is made of glass and may crack if subjected to
excessive force.
• Black (dark) pixels and continuously lit pixels may appear in certain
locations on the LCD screen. The appearance of such spots is a normal
occurrence associated with LCD screens and is not a sign of a system
malfunction. LCD screens are made using highly precise technology.
However, a very small number of dark pixels or continuously lit pixels
exist 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 LCD screen.
• 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 rises.
