Refer servicing to qualified personnel only. Read carefully before operating your PlayStation 2 console A few people may experience epileptic seizures when viewing flashing lights or patterns in our daily environment. These persons may experience seizures while watching TV or playing video games, including DVD videos or games played on the PlayStation 2 console. Players who have not had any seizures may nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition. Consult your physician before operating the PlayStation 2 console if you have an epileptic condition or experience any of the following symptoms while watching TV programs or playing video games: altered vision, muscle twitching, other involuntary movements, loss of awareness of your surroundings, mental confusion, and/ or convulsions. Some PlayStation format software titles may perform differently on the PlayStation 2 console than they did on the PlayStation console, or may not perform properly on the PlayStation 2 console. For more information, call the PlayStation service line number listed on your warranty card for technical assistance. 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. Stop use immediately if the device functions in an abnormal manner, or produces unusual sounds or smells. Never connect cables of types other than those specified in this manual to the line connector. Connect only cables of the proper type for each connector. If the device does not operate properly, call the PlayStation service line number listed on your warranty card for technical assistance. Use and handling Do not throw or drop the console or subject the item to strong physical shock. Do not place the console on surfaces that are unstable, tilted or subject to vibration. Never move or change the position of a console while it is turned on. Do not expose the console to high temperatures, high humidity or direct sunlight (use in an environment where temperatures range 5 C 35 C). Do not place the console in locations subject to sudden temperature change (e.g. temperature changes of 10 C per hour or more). Do not leave the console in a car with its windows closed (particularly in summer) as this may warp the product exterior or cause the product to malfunction. Do not use the console in a dusty location. Do not allow liquid or small particles to get into the console. Do not place the console close to magnetic fields such as those produced by magnets, loudspeakers or television sets. Do not put heavy objects on the console. Do not touch the metal parts or insert foreign objects into the connectors of the console. When you do not intend to use the console for an extended period of time, disconnect the power plug for the PlayStation 2 console from the electrical outlet. When disconnecting the power plug from an electrical outlet, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself. Do not place any rubber or vinyl materials on the exterior of the console for an extended period of time. Doing so may damage the plastic surface. To help prevent eye strain, take a break of about 15 minutes during every hour of play. Use only the supplied AC power cord. Unplug all cords and cables before moving the console. Checking the AC power cord To help ensure safe operation of this product, regularly inspect the AC power cord for wear and tear. If the cord is damaged, discontinue use immediately and call the PlayStation service line number listed on your warranty card for technical assistance. Do not touch the connectors on the console Do not touch the metal parts of, or insert foreign objects into, the connectors on the console. Do not expose the console to cigarette smoke or dust When setting up the PlayStation 2 console, avoid places subject to excessive cigarette smoke or dust. Cigarette smoke residue or dust build-up on internal components such as the lens, may cause the console to malfunction. Cleaning the vents Dust can accumulate in both the front and rear vents of the PlayStation 2 console. Check the vents from time to time and remove any accumulated dust with a lowpowered vacuum cleaner. Disc handling Do not leave discs near a heat source, in direct sunlight, or in high humidity. Store discs in their cases when they are not being used. Stacking discs or standing them at an angle without putting them in their cases can cause the discs to warp. Do not touch the disc surface when handling a disc; hold it by the edges. Do not stick paper or tape onto the disc. Do not write on the disc with a marker, etc. Fingerprints, dust, dirt or scratches on the disc can distort the picture or reduce sound quality. Always handle carefully and make sure discs are clean before use. Clean discs 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. Moisture condensation If the console or the 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 do not put the disc back in until the moisture evaporates. (This could take several hours.) If the console still does not operate properly, call the PlayStation service line number listed on your warranty card for technical assistance. Cleaning the console For safety reasons, before cleaning the console, 1) turn off the PlayStation 2 console using the main power switch on the console rear and 2) disconnect the power plug from the electrical outlet. Do not use paint thinner, solvents or other chemicals to clean the exterior of the console, as these may damage the surface.
