Sony PSVITA PCH-2016 Safety Manual page 9

When moisture condensation occurs
If the PS Vita system is brought directly from a cold location to a
warm one, moisture may condense inside the system and cause
it to operate improperly.
Should this occur, turn off and unplug the system. Do not use
the PS Vita system until the moisture evaporates (this may take
several hours). If the system still does not operate properly,
contact the appropriate PlayStation
which can be found within the guarantee section.
Care and cleaning of exterior surfaces
For safety reasons, unplug the AC power cord from the
electricity supply and disconnect any other cables before
cleaning.
Cleaning the exterior surface, screen and camera area
• Wipe gently with a soft cloth
• Do not use solvents or other chemicals to clean the exterior
surface, screen and camera area.
• Do not use a chemically-treated cleaning cloth to wipe the
system.
Cleaning the connectors
Do not allow dust or dirt to build up around the PS Vita system
connectors, the AC adaptor, the USB cable connectors or
accessory connectors. Dirty connectors may prevent signals
from being sent or received properly and can result in fire or
electrical shock. If the headphone connector is dirty, you may
experience sound interruptions. Clean all connectors by wiping
with a dry, soft cloth.

Contact with other objects
Observe the following precaution so that the surface of the
PS Vita system does not become discoloured or damaged: Do
not allow the system to remain in direct contact with rubber or
vinyl products for an extended period of time.
Battery life
The built-in battery has a limited life span. Battery duration will
decrease with repeated usage and age.
Hint
Battery life span varies depending on how the battery is stored
and on the conditions of use, including long-term environmental
factors such as temperature.
When your PS Vita system is not operating correctly
Press and hold (power) button until the safe mode menu
appears. Follow the on-screen instructions to restart the PS Vita
system.
When the PS Vita system does not start in safe mode even after
you keep pressing (power) button for more than 30 seconds,
the battery charge might be too low to turn on the system. In this
case, charge your PS Vita system using the included AC
adaptor.
Safe mode is a start-up mode for your PS Vita system in which
only a few system functions are available for solving problems.
In safe mode, use your PS Vita system's buttons to operate
the menu.
