Sony PS2 User Manual

This label is located on the Laser protective housing inside
the enclosure.

This graphical symbol with supplemental marking is
located on the right surface of the unit (when it is in a
vertical position).

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage”
within the product’s enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the console.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

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.

• 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 or dust on the disc can distort the picture

or reduce sound quality. Make sure discs are always
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.

Do not leave the console in a car with its windows closed
(particularly in summer) as this may warp the exterior of
the console or cause the console to malfunction.

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 the disc 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.

Do not throw or drop the console or its accessories, and do
not knock the console or its accessories against other
objects. When carrying the console, do not subject it to any
type of violent physical shock. This may damage the disc
or cause the console to malfunction.

Do not apply any solvents, and do not place any rubber or
vinyl materials on the surface of the console for an
extended period of time. Doing so may damage the plastic
surface or cause the paint to peel off.

Dust can accumulate in both the front and rear vents of the
PlayStation

®

2 console. Check the vents from time to time

and remove any accumulated dust with a low-powered
vacuum cleaner.

When cleaning the exterior of the console, be sure to turn
the power off with the MAIN POWER switch on the back
of the console and disconnect the AC power plug from the
electrical socket.
• If the exterior of the console 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.

• Do not use paint thinner, solvents or other chemicals, as

these may damage the console. When using a
commercially available cleaning cloth, follow the
instructions supplied with the cloth.

• Use your PlayStation

®

2 computer entertainment

system according to the instructions in this manual. No
authorization for the analysis or modification of the
PlayStation

®

2 console, nor the analysis and use of its

circuit configurations, is provided herein.

• There are no user-serviceable components inside the

PlayStation

®

2 console.  Disassembling it will void the

warranty.  Additionally, there is a risk of exposure to
(laser) radiation as well as to electrical shock hazards.

tired or if you experience discomfort or pain in your
hands and/or arms while operating the controller. If
the condition persists, consult a doctor.

• Do not attempt to operate the controller in any way

except with your hands. Do not bring the controller
into close contact with your head, face or near the
bones of any other part of your body.

• The vibration function of the analog controller

(DUALSHOCK

®

®

2) or

the analog controller (DUALSHOCK

intervals.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
