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 commercial wireless LAN or hotspot service. User is responsible for all fees associated with wireless LAN access.
