GB
Precautions
This product has been designed with the highest concern for safety. However, any
electrical device, if used improperly, has the potential for causing fire, electrical
shock or personal injury. To help ensure accident-free operation, follow these
guidelines:
Do not touch the system or connected cables or accessories during an
electrical storm.
Do not turn off the system while data is being saved on or loaded from the hard
disk.
Do not stand on or put objects on the system, and do not stack the system with
other devices.
Do not place the system and connected accessories on the floor or in a place
where they may cause someone to trip or stumble.
Do not allow bodily contact with the system or air from the system vents for an
extended period of time while in use. Extended contact under these conditions
may cause low-temperature burns.
Precautions
When connecting the system to a plasma or projection* TV, do not leave a still
image on the TV screen for an extended period of time, as this may leave a
faint image permanently on the screen.
* Except LCD screen types
Parents are encouraged to monitor children in online activities to ensure safe
and responsible Internet usage. Refer to http://www.ps-playsafeonline.com for
further details.
Notes on safety when using the DUALSHOCK®3
Wireless Controller*
Do not use the vibration function if you have any ailment or injury to the bones,
joints or muscles of your hands or arms. If you have an ailment or an injury, do
not play such titles using the DUALSHOCK®3 Wireless Controller unless you
have set the vibration function to [Off].
When using the motion sensor function of the Wireless Controller, be cautious of
the following points. If the controller hits a person or object, this may cause
accidental injury or damage.
– Before using the motion sensor function, make sure you have enough space
to move around.
– Firmly grip the Wireless Controller to prevent it from slipping out of your grasp
and causing damage or injury.
– When using the Wireless Controller with a USB cable, ensure that the cable
cannot hit a person or any object, and do not pull the cable out of the PS3™
system whilst playing.
* These notes also apply to other controllers.
Vents
Do not block any vents. To maintain good ventilation, follow the guidelines below:
Place the system at least 10 cm away from a wall surface.
Do not place on a carpet or rug with long fibres.
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 contact the appropriate PlayStation®
customer service helpline which can be found within every PlayStation®3
software manual.
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.
Do not allow dust or foreign matter to build up around the AC IN connector.
Before connecting or plugging in the AC power cord, check that there is no
dust or foreign matter in or on the power plug or connecting end of the cord,
the electrical outlet or the AC IN connector on the system rear. If the plug or
connector becomes dirty, wipe off with a dry cloth before connecting.
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
Network
A broadband Internet connection is required to connect to a network.
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 minimise 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.
Moisture condensation
If the system or disc is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one,
moisture may condense on the lens inside the system or on the disc. Should this
occur, the system may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and
turn off and unplug the system. Do not put the disc back in until the moisture
evaporates (this may take several hours). If the system still does not operate
properly, contact the appropriate PlayStation® customer service helpline which
can be found within every PlayStation®3 software manual.
GB
Precautions
Use the PS3™ system and accessories according to the instructions in the
product documentation. No authorisation for the analysis or modification of the
system or accessories, or the analysis and use of its circuit configurations, is
provided. Unauthorised 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.
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 authorised to use, or one that is
available through a public wireless LAN or hotspot service.
Cleaning
For safety reasons, before cleaning the system or connected accessories,
disconnect the AC power cord from the electrical outlet.
Exterior surfaces (plastic cover of system and Wireless
Controller)
Follow the instructions below to help prevent the product exterior from
deteriorating or becoming discoloured.
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not apply insecticides or other volatile substances.
Do not place any rubber or vinyl materials on the product exterior for an
extended period of time.

cleaning cloth.
Precautions
Vents
Cleaning method
When dust accumulates in the system vents, remove the dust with a low-powered
vacuum cleaner.
Clean discs with a soft cloth, lightly wiping from the centre
outwards.
Connectors
Do not use solvents, record cleaners, anti-static spray or other
chemicals as these can damage the discs.
Do not use when the connectors of the system or the AC power cord are not
clean. If used when dirty, the flow of electrical current may be obstructed.

Wireless controller battery
Caution
If you come into contact with material from a leaking battery, take the
following actions:
– If the material gets into the eyes, do not rub. Immediately flush the eyes
with clean water and seek medical attention.
– If the material comes into contact with the skin or clothes, immediately
rinse the affected area with clean water. Consult your physician if
inflammation or soreness develops.
Do not allow the battery to come into contact with fire or subject it to extreme
temperatures such as in direct sunlight, in a vehicle exposed to the sun or
near a heat source.

Content Protection) standard is connected to the system using an HDMI cable,
video or audio cannot be output from the system.
Wireless controller battery life
When you use the AV MULTI OUT connector of the system to connect to a TV,
copyright-protected video from a BD or from video files may be output at
resolutions lower than 1080p. Also, these types of video will be output at
resolutions of 576p or lower if recorded at 1080i (50 Hz) or 720p (50 Hz).
Battery life also varies depending on the storage method, usage state,
environment and other factors.
When playing discs with content that was copied fraudulently, abnormal sounds
may be produced or the content may not play correctly.
To continuously enjoy playback of copyright-protected BDs, in some cases the
encryption key for AACS (Advanced Access Control System) may need to be
renewed. To renew the encryption key, the system must be updated.
Some discs may not be playable due to scratches, dust, the quality of
recording, or the characteristics of the recording device.
50
In rare instances, CDs, DVDs, BDs and other media may not operate properly
when played on the PS3™ system. This is primarily due to variations in the
manufacturing process or encoding of the software.
The battery has a limited lifespan. Battery duration will gradually decrease with
repeated usage and age.
Storage
When the wireless controller is not used for an extended period of time, it is
recommended that you fully charge it at least once a year in order to maintain
battery functionality.
