Precautions

On safety
• As the laser beam emitted from the lens
of this unit may be harmful to the eyes,
do not attempt to disassemble the
casing. Contact our technical support
line at 1-800-345-7669 for assistance.
• Should any solid objects or liquid fall
into the unit, unplug it immediately and
call 1-800-345-7669 for technical
assistance.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if
you do not intend to use it for any
length of time. When disconnecting the
AC adaptor from a wall outlet, pull it
out by grasping the plug. Never pull
the cord itself.
For your health
To prevent eye strain:
• Be sure to take a break of about 15 minutes
during every hour of play.
• Do not play a game when you are very
tired or short of sleep.
• Play in a well-lit room and keep a safe
distance from the TV screen.
On operation
• Operate the unit only on 120V AC,
60 Hz.
• Do not block the air vents or wrap up
the unit since heat may build up
internally.
• Do not handle the unit roughly, subject
it to any mechanical shock, or place any
heavy objects on top of it. Doing so may
damage the unit and the disc.
• Do not leave your PS one™ console near
heat sources, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight (operating temperature:
41˚F-95˚F (5˚C-35˚C)), excessive dust or
sand, moisture, rain, on an uneven
surface, or in a car with its windows
closed.
• If the unit causes interference to radio or
television reception, turn off the unit or
move it away from the radio or
television.
• Do not touch the lens inside the disc
cover. To protect the lens from dust,
keep the disc cover closed except when
inserting and removing discs. If the lens
is not clean, the unit may not operate
properly.
• When unplugging the unit, always
remove the AC adaptor from the wall
outlet first, and then disconnect the cord
from the console rear.
• Sony Computer Entertainment America
(SCEA) will not be held liable for any
damages or injury caused by the use of
products not sold or licensed by SCEA.
• This unit does not support the
SCPH-1040 Link Cable.
U
• The PS one™ console's game reset
function works differently than that for
the PlayStation console. For details, see
®
"To restart the game" on page 20.
• Avoid prolonged physical contact with
the PS one™ console or AC adaptor.
This may cause low temperature burns.
About the discs
• You can use two kinds of discs with this
unit: CD-ROM discs with both the
PlayStation logo and
®
designation, and audio CD discs.
• Some discs sold in foreign countries
cannot be used with this unit.
On handling discs
• Do not leave the discs near heat sources
or expose them to direct sunlight or
excessive moisture.
• Store the discs in their cases when not
using them.
• Do not touch the surface when handling
the discs.
• Do not stick paper or tape on the discs.
• Do not write on the discs with a marker.
On moisture condensation
If the unit is taken directly from a cold to a
warm location, or is placed in a very damp
room, moisture may condense on the lens
inside the unit. Should this occur, the unit
may not operate properly. If this happens,
remove the disc for several hours until the
moisture evaporates. If the unit still does
not operate properly, call 1-800-345-7669
for technical assistance.
Never disassemble the console
• Use your PS one™ console according to
the instructions in this manual. No
authorization for the analysis or
modification of the console, or the
analysis and use of its circuit configura-
tions, is provided.
• There are no user-serviceable
components inside the PS one™ console.
Disassembling it will void the warranty.
Additionally, there is a risk of exposure
to laser radiation as well as to electrical
shock hazards.
