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, visit http://www.us.playstation.com/support or contact SCEA Consumer Services at 1-800-345-7669 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.

10Precautions

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.

•Do not use a chemically-treated cleaning cloth to wipe off the system.

Before using the analog stick

•Do not attempt to remove the analog stick from the system front, as doing so will damage the system and may result in injury.

•For best results, go to (Settings) (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

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.
