• Do not place the console or network adaptor in
locations subject to sudden temperature change (e.g.
temperature changes of 10°C/18°F per hour or more).

®
and the telephone cord from the wall jack.

Do not expose the console to cigarette
smoke or dust
When setting up the PlayStation 2 console, avoid places
®
subject to excessive cigarette smoke or dust. Cigarette
smoke residue or dust build-up on internal components
such as the lens, may cause the console to malfunction.

®
time and remove any accumulated dust with a low-
powered vacuum cleaner.
Disc handling
• Do not leave discs near a heat source, in direct
sunlight, or in high humidity.
• Store discs in their cases when they are not being used.
Stacking discs or standing them at an angle without
putting them in their cases can cause the discs to warp.
• Do not touch the disc surface when handling a disc;
hold it by the edges.
• Do not stick paper or tape onto the disc.
• Do not write on the disc with a marker, etc.
• Fingerprints, dust, dirt or scratches on the disc can
distort the picture or reduce sound quality. Always
handle carefully and make sure discs are clean before
use.
• Clean discs using a soft cloth, lightly wiping from the
center outwards.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, commercially
available cleaners not intended for CDs or anti-static
spray intended for vinyl LPs as these may damage your
disc.
Moisture condensation
If the console or the disc is brought directly from a cold
location to a warm one, moisture may condense on the
lens inside the console or on the disc. Should this occur,
the console may not operate properly. In this case,
remove the disc and do not put it back in until the
moisture evaporates (this could take several hours). If
the console still does not operate properly, call
1-800-345-7669 for technical assistance.
Cleaning the console and network adaptor

3) remove the telephone cord and/or network cable
from the network adaptor.
• Do not use paint thinner, solvents or other chemicals to
clean the exterior of the console or network adaptor, as
these may damage the surface. When using a
commercially available cleaning cloth, follow the
instructions supplied with the cloth.
• If the exterior of the console or network adaptor
becomes dirty, soak a soft cloth in a mild detergent
solution diluted with water, tightly squeeze the cloth
to remove the excess liquid, wipe the affected area of
the exterior, and finish by wiping with a dry cloth.
