Precautions

Do not expose the console to cigarette smoke or dust
When setting up the PlayStation2 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.

Cleaning the vents

Dust can accumulate in both the front and rear vents of the PlayStation2 console. Check the vents from time to time and remove any accumulated dust with a low-powered vacuum cleaner.

Caution

The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard. As the laser beam used in this unit is harmful to eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
Cleaning the exterior of the console Disc handling
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. 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.
