particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where 
they exit from the system.
 When disconnecting 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 or video when the system is 
covered with any type of fabric. If you want to pause or temporarily 
store the system while playing games or video, put the system in 
sleep mode before placing it in the case or covering. Also do not use 
the AC adaptor when covered with fabric. This may help to avoid 
overheating.
 Do not connect the AC power cord to a voltage transformer or 
inverter. Connecting the AC power cord to a voltage transformer for

heat to build up in the AC adaptor and may cause burns or a 
malfunction.
Precautions
5
 The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be 
easily accessible.
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. 
Be careful when using the system outdoors or near a window.
 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 goes up.
 Do not leave still images displayed on the screen for an extended 
period of time. This may cause a faint image to be left permanently 
on the screen.
About the "pickup"
Do not touch the "pickup" located inside the disc cover of the system. 
Touching the pickup may damage the system.
Pickup
Memory Stick Duo™
For best results, follow these guidelines:

prevention switch, you can prevent data from being saved, edited, or 
deleted by setting the switch in the LOCK position.
Recorded data
Do not use the Memory Stick Duo™ in the following ways, as doing 
so may result in data loss or corruption:
 Removing the Memory Stick Duo™ or turning off the system while 
it is loading or saving data or being formatted.
 Using it in a location that is exposed to static electricity or electrical 
interference.
If, for any reason, software or data loss or corruption occurs, 
it is usually not possible to recover the software or data. It is 
recommended that you regularly back up software and data. 
Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. and its subsidiaries and 
affiliates will not be held liable for any damages or injury in 
the case of software or data loss or corruption. 
In accordance with copyright law, no recorded data may be 
used for purposes other than personal enjoyment without 
permission from the copyright holder.
Cases and coverings
 When placing the PSP® system in a commercially available case, 
turn off the power or put the system in sleep mode. Do not use the 
system while it is in the case. Leaving the system on, or using it while 
in a case or covering may cause overheating or may damage the 
system.
 Put both the PSP® system and the remote control in hold mode to 
help prevent unintended operation.
Never disassemble the system or 
accessories
Use the PSP® system and accessories according to the instructions in this 
manual. No authorization for the analysis or modification of the system, 
or the analysis and use of its circuit configurations, is provided. 
Disassembling will void the system warranty. Additionally, there is a risk 
of fire, electrical shock or malfunction. The LCD screen, in particular, 
contains dangerous, high-voltage parts, and the laser beam for reading 
UMD™ may cause visual impairment if exposed directly to the eyes.
Using the access point
When using the PSP® system's 'Scan' function to select a wireless LAN 
access point, access points that are not intended for public use may be 
displayed. Only connect to a personal access point that you are 
authorized to use, or one that is available through a public wireless 
LAN or hotspot service.
Overseas use
Depending on the country, there are limitations on the use of certain 
types of radio waves. In some cases, use of the system may lead to a 
fine or other penalty.

Moisture condensation
If the PSP® system or UMD™ is brought directly from a cold location 
to a warm one, moisture may condense on the lens inside the system or 
on the UMD™. Should this occur, the system may not operate 
properly. In this case, remove the UMD™ and turn off and unplug the 
system. Do not put the UMD™ back in until the moisture evaporates 
(this may take several hours). If the system still does not operate 
properly, contact the PSP® service line at the number listed on your 
warranty card for assistance.
UMD™ handling
 Do not touch the opening on the rear of the disc (recorded surface of 
the disc) with your fingers.
 Do not allow dust, sand, foreign objects or other types of dirt to get 
on the disc.
 If the UMD™ becomes dirty, gently wipe the exterior and recorded 
surfaces of the UMD™ using a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or 
other chemicals.
 Do not use a UMD™ that is cracked or warped or has been repaired. 
The UMD™ may break inside the PSP® system, leading to injury or 
malfunction.
Handling and care of exterior surfaces
Follow the guidelines listed below to help avoid deterioration or 
discoloration of the PSP® system:
 Do not use solvents or other chemicals to clean the exterior surface.
 Do not allow the system to remain in direct contact with rubber or 
vinyl products for an extended period of time.

Precautions
 Do not use a chemically-treated cleaning cloth to wipe off the 
system.
Before using the analog stick
For best results, go to 
 (System Settings) and 
then with the "System Information" screen displayed, rotate the analog 
stick in a circular motion. This will adjust the analog stick's range of 
movement.

Cleaning
For safety reasons, unplug the AC power cord from the electrical outlet, 
disconnect any other cables and remove the battery pack from the 
system before cleaning.
Cleaning the exterior surface and LCD screen
Wipe gently with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the connectors
 Do not use when the connectors of the system, AC adaptor or the AC 
power cord are not clean. Remove the dirt with a dry cloth or cotton 
swab. If used when dirty, the flow of electrical current may be 
obstructed.
 If the headphones or remote control connectors become dirty, this 
could cause noise or interruptions in sound. Wipe the connectors 
with a dry, soft cloth to keep in clean condition.
