direct sunlight.
Do not place the system or accessories on surfaces that are unstable, tilted or
subject to vibration.
Do not set the system other than in the vertical or horizontal position. Also, do not
change the position while the system is turned on.
Be careful when carrying the system. If you do not have a good grip, the system
may drop causing potential damage or injury.
Do not move or change the position of the system with a disc inserted. The
vibration may result in scratching of the disc or the system.
Do not turn off the system while data is being saved on or loaded from the hard
disk.

Notes on safety when using the DUALSHOCK®3 wireless
controller*
Stop using the system immediately if you begin to feel tired or if you experience
discomfort or pain in your hands or arms while operating the DUALSHOCK®3
wireless controller. If the condition persists, consult a doctor.
The vibration function of the DUALSHOCK®3 wireless controller can aggravate
injuries. Do not use the vibration function if you have any ailment or injury to the
bones, joints or muscles of your hands or arms. If you have an ailment or an injury,
do not play such titles using the DUALSHOCK®3 wireless controller unless you
have set the vibration function to "Off".
Avoid prolonged use of the DUALSHOCK®3 wireless controller. Take a break at
about 30-minute intervals.
Note that some software titles set the vibration function to "On" by default. To
disable the vibration function, press the PS button of the controller, and then select
"Controller Settings"
"Vibration Function"
"Off".
When using the motion sensor function of the wireless controller, be cautious of
the following points. If the controller hits a person or object, this may cause an
accident, injury or damage.
– Before use, check that there is plenty of space around you.
– When using the controller, grip it firmly and make sure it cannot slip out of your
hand.
– If using a controller that is connected to the PS3™ system with a USB cable,
make sure that the cable will not hit a person or object. Also take care to avoid
pulling out the cable from the PS3™ system.
* These notes also apply to other controllers.
Vents
Do not block any vents. To maintain good ventilation, follow the guidelines below:
Place the system at least 10 cm (4 in) away from a wall surface.
Do not place on a carpet or rug with long fibers.
Do not place in a narrow or cramped space.
Do not cover with cloth.
Do not allow dust to build up on the vents.

Precautions
AC power cord use
To help ensure safe operation, regularly inspect the AC power cord. If damaged,
stop use immediately and contact the PS3™ service line at the number listed on
your warranty card for assistance.
Do not use a power cord other than the supplied AC power cord. Do not modify
the cord.
Do not touch the plug of the AC power cord with wet hands.
Protect the AC power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,
expansion receptacles and the point where the cord exits from the system.
Do not place heavy items on the cord.
Do not place the AC power cord near heating equipment and do not expose the cord
to heat.
Do not allow dust or foreign matter to build up around the AC IN connector. Before
connecting or plugging in the AC power cord, check that there is no dust or foreign
matter in or on the power plug or connecting end of the cord, the electrical outlet
or the AC IN connector on the system rear. If the plug or connector becomes dirty,
wipe off with a dry cloth before connecting.
Unplug the AC power cord from the electrical outlet before cleaning or moving the
system, or when you do not intend to use the system for an extended period of time.
When disconnecting, grasp the power cord by the plug and pull straight out of the
electrical outlet. Never pull by the cord and do not pull out at an angle.
Do not connect the AC power cord to a voltage transformer or inverter. Connecting
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 system and may cause burns
or a malfunction.
Never disassemble or modify the system or accessories
Use the PS3™ system and accessories according to the instructions in the product
documentation. No authorization for the analysis or modification of the system or
accessories, or the analysis and use of its circuit configurations, is provided.
Unauthorized modification of the system or accessories will void your warranty.
There are no user serviceable components inside the PS3™ system (the supplied
hard disk may be removed but not disassembled or modified). Additionally, there is
a risk of exposure to laser radiation as well as to electrical shock.

Cleaning
A broadband Internet connection is required to connect to a network.
User is responsible for Internet service fees. For details, refer to the information
For safety reasons, before cleaning the system or connected accessories, disconnect
the AC power cord from the electrical outlet.
provided in your service contract or contact your Internet service provider.
Use only an Ethernet cable compatible with 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or
1000BASE-T networks. Do not use a cord for a standard residential telephone line
or cables of types other than those mentioned here. Using the wrong type of cord
or cable can cause more electrical current than necessary to flow through the LAN
connector, which may lead to heat build-up, fire or malfunction.
Wireless networking feature
The 2.4 GHz range of radio waves used by the wireless networking feature of this
product is a range shared by various devices. This product has been designed to
minimize the effect of other devices using the same range. However, in some cases
interference from other devices may reduce the connection speed, shorten the
signal range or cause the connection to be terminated unexpectedly.
When using the PS3™ 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 an access point that you are authorized to use, or one that is available
through a public wireless LAN or hotspot service.
Moisture condensation
If the system or disc is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one, moisture
may condense on the lens inside the system or on the disc. Should this occur, the
system may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and turn off and
unplug the system. Do not put the disc back in until the moisture evaporates (this may
take several hours). If the system still does not operate properly, contact the PS3™
service line at the number listed on your warranty card for assistance.

restore data that has been backed up. Select "Backup Utility" under
(Settings)
(System Settings) and follow the on-screen instructions to perform this
operation. Note that depending on the system's usage condition, you might not be
able to back up or restore some data. It is recommended that you create a spare
backup for important data in advance by copying or moving the data to a USB mass
storage device.
For details on the backup utility feature, refer to the user's guide (
page 4).
Copying/moving files
The following file types saved on the system's hard disk can be copied or moved to

Hint
By using a commercially available card reader/writer (USB connector type), you can back up files
saved on the hard disk to storage media such as a Memory Stick™ or an SD Memory Card.
Discs
Note on compatibility
Some media may have region or territorial restrictions and may not work with your
system. See media packaging for details.
Handling
Do not touch the disc surface when handling a disc; hold it by the edges.
Do not stick paper or tape onto discs and do not write on discs.
Fingerprints, dust, dirt or scratches on the disc can distort the picture or reduce
sound quality. Always handle carefully and check that discs are clean before use.
Storage
Do not expose discs to high temperatures, high humidity or direct sunlight.
When discs will not be used for an extended period of time, store them in their
cases. Stacking uncased discs or storing them at an angle can cause them to warp.
Cleaning method
Clean discs with a soft cloth, lightly wiping from the center outwards.
Do not use solvents, record cleaners, anti-static spray or
other chemicals as these can damage the discs.
