Precautions
LCD screen
The LCD screen is made of glass and may crack if subjected to
excessive force.
Pixels that are not lit or are continuously lit may appear in certain
locations on the LCD screen. The appearance of such spots is a
normal occurrence associated with LCD screens and is not a sign
of a system malfunction. LCD screens are made using highly
precise technology. However, a very small number of dark pixels
or continuously lit pixels exist on each screen. Also, a distorted
image may remain on the screen for several seconds after the
system has been turned off.
Direct exposure to sunlight may damage the system’s LCD
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, as doing so may cause a faint image to be left
permanently on the screen.
About the “pickup”
Do not touch the “pickup” located inside the disc cover of the
system. Touching the pickup may damage the system.
Never disassemble the system or accessories
Use the PSP® system and accessories according to the instructions
in this manual. No authorisation for the analysis or modification of
the system, or the analysis and use of its circuit configurations, is
provided. Disassembling will void the system warranty and may be
harmful. The LCD screen, in particular, contains dangerous,
high-voltage parts, and the laser beam for reading Universal Media
Disc may cause visual impairment if exposed directly to the eyes.
