Photosensitivity/Epilepsy/Seizures
A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic
seizures or blackouts when exposed to certain light patterns or
flashing lights. Exposure to certain patterns or backgrounds on
a screen or when playing video games may trigger epileptic
seizures or blackouts in these individuals. These conditions may
trigger previously undetected epileptic symptoms or seizures in
persons who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. If you,
or anyone in your family, has an epileptic condition or has had
seizures of any kind, consult your physician before playing.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-

Precautions
Before using this product, carefully read this manual and retain
it for future reference. Parents and guardians of children should
read this guide and make sure that the child follows all safety
precautions.
Use and handling
• Use in a well-lit area and keep the screen a safe distance from
your face.
• Avoid prolonged use of the PS Vita system. To help prevent
eyestrain, take a break of about 15 minutes during every hour
of play.
• If you experience any of the following health problems,
discontinue use of the system immediately. If symptoms
persist, consult with your physician.
– Dizziness, nausea, fatigue or symptoms similar to motion
sickness
– Discomfort or pain in a part of the body, such as eyes, ears,
hands or arms
• Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones or
headphones are used at high volume. Set the volume to a
safe level. Over time, increasingly loud audio may start to
sound normal but can actually be damaging your hearing. If
you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop
listening and have your hearing checked. The louder the
volume, the sooner your hearing could be affected. To protect
your hearing:
– Limit the amount of time you use earphones or headphones
at high volume.
– Avoid raising the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
Safety
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:
• Observe all warnings, precautions and instructions.
• Regularly inspect the AC adaptor, AC power cord and USB
cable.
• If your PS Vita system is damaged, do not use it. Unplug the
AC power cord from the electrical outlet and disconnect any
other cables immediately.
• Stop use, unplug the AC power cord from the electrical outlet
and disconnect any other cables immediately if the device
functions in an abnormal manner, produces unusual sounds
or smells or if it or the AC adaptor becomes too hot to touch.
• Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC (SCEA) strongly
recommends using, with your PS Vita system, only genuine
Sony AC adaptor, AC power cord and USB cable that are
compatible with your model of the PS Vita system. Because
SCEA cannot assure the safe use and operation of other types
of AC adaptor, AC power cord and USB cable, the use of any
such AC adaptor, AC power cord or USB cable with any PS
Vita system voids the warranty on the PS Vita system.
– Lower the volume if you can't hear people speaking near
you.

do not subject the devices to strong physical shock. Do not sit
on or place heavy objects on top of the PS Vita system as this
may cause damage.
• Do not damage the AC adaptor or AC power cord:
– Do not modify the AC adaptor or AC power cord.
7
– Do not wrap the AC power cord or USB cable around the
PS Vita system or around the AC adaptor.
Screen
– Do not place the AC adaptor or AC power cord near a heat
source or allow them to get hot.
• The screen (touchscreen) is made of glass and may crack if
subjected to excessive force.
– Do not subject the AC power cord to tension.
• When using the system, keep the light in the room bright and
keep as far away from the screen as possible.
• Don't press your finger on the screen with excessive force.
Also, do not scrape or scratch the screen with anything hard,
such as metal, or anything with a sharp tip (such as a pencil
or your fingernails). Any of these actions may damage or
break the screen.
– When disconnecting the AC power cord, hold it by the plug
and pull straight out from the electrical socket. Never pull by
the cord and do not pull at an angle.
– Protect the AC power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, electrical socket and the point
where they exit from the system.

and shorten its life.
– Do not use the PS Vita system or the AC adaptor when they
are covered by a cloth or in their cases.
• Black (dark) pixels and continuously lit pixels may appear in
certain locations on the screen. The appearance of such
spots is a normal occurrence associated with screens and is
not a sign of a system malfunction. Screens are made using
highly precise technology. However, a very small number of
dark pixels or continuously lit pixels may exist and color
irregularities or brightness irregularities may be visible on
each screen. Also, a distorted image may remain on the
screen for several seconds after the system has been turned
off.
• 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 AC adaptor and
may cause burns or a malfunction.
• Use an electrical outlet that is easily accessible, so the AC
power cord can be unplugged quickly if the need arises.
• Direct exposure to sunlight may damage the system's screen.
Be careful when using the system outdoors or near a window.
• When using the system in a cold environment, you may notice
shadows on the graphics or the screen may appear darker
than usual. This is not a malfunction, and the screen will return
to normal when the temperature goes up.
• Do not leave still images displayed on the screen for an
extended period of time. This may cause a faint image to be
left permanently on the screen.

press on them too hard you can damage them.
Using Wi-Fi access points
Positioning
Perform positioning (calculating position) in as empty and open
a location as possible with few buildings or other obstructions of
radio waves. Positioning may take several minutes the first time
you use the GPS feature or when a long time has elapsed since
you last performed positioning. If you are unable to receive
radio waves from the GPS satellite or unable to perform
positioning for several minutes, move to another location and try
again.
When connecting to the Internet using the Wi-Fi feature, the
system automatically detects nearby access points. An access
point that you are not authorized to use may be included among
the detected devices. Only connect to a personal access point
that you are authorized to use, or one that is available through a
commercial Wi-Fi service. The user is responsible for all fees
associated with Wi-Fi access.
Precautions for Data Communication (PCH-1101 only)
