Precautions
Before use
• 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.
• 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. (Models equipped with the
WLAN feature only)
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
®, PlayStation®2, and PLAYSTATION®3 software manual.
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.
• Do not use solvents or other chemicals. Do not wipe with a chemically-treated
cleaning cloth.
Vents
When dust accumulates in the system vents, remove the dust with a low-powered
vacuum cleaner.
Connectors
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. Remove the dirt
with a dry cloth.
