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.
AC power cord use
• To help ensure safe operation, regularly inspect the AC power cord. If damaged,
stop use immediately and call SCEA Consumer Services at 1-800-345-7669 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.
• 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.
Network
• A broadband connection is required to access the Internet. Note that dial-up
connectivity is not supported.
• User is responsible for Internet service fees. For details, refer to the information
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. (Models equipped with
the WLAN feature only)
