Sony CFI-1018A Safety Manual page 5

• Permanent hearing loss may occur if headsets 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 or
any discomfort 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 the headset or headphones at high volume.
– Avoid raising the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
– Lower the volume if you can't hear people speaking near you.
• When using headsets or headphones in particularly dry air conditions, you may
sometimes experience a small and quick (static) shock on your ears. This is a result of
static electricity accumulated in the body, and is not a malfunction of your headset or
headphones.
Wireless controller use
The following notes may also apply to other controllers.
• Do not handle damaged or leaking lithium-ion batteries. If the internal battery fluid
leaks, stop using the product immediately and contact technical support for
assistance. If the fluid gets on to your clothes, skin or into your eyes, immediately rinse
the affected area with clean water and consult your physician. The battery fluid can
cause blindness.
• Stop using the console immediately if you begin to feel tired or if you experience
discomfort or pain in your hands or arms while operating the wireless controller. If the
condition persists, consult a doctor.
• Do not use the vibration or trigger effect features if you have any ailment or injury to
the bones, joints, or muscles of your hands or arms. If you have an ailment or an
injury, do not play titles with these features using the controller unless you have set
those functions to "Off". To enable or disable the features, select Settings
Accessories from the home screen.
• Avoid prolonged use of the wireless controller. Take a break at about 30-minute
intervals.
• If the wireless controller is sitting on a flat surface, the vibration of the wireless
controller during gameplay may cause it to fall, leading to injury or malfunction.
• When using the motion sensor function of the wireless controller, be cautious of the
following points. If the controller hits a person or object, it may cause accidental injury
or damage.
– Before using the motion sensor function, make sure you have enough space to
move around.
– Firmly grip the wireless controller to prevent it from slipping out of your grasp and
causing damage or injury.
– If using a wireless controller that is connected to the PS5™ console with a USB
cable, make sure there is enough space for the cable so that the cable will not hit a
person or object.
• Controllers intended for use with PlayStation®, PlayStation®2, and PlayStation®3
consoles, such as the analog controllers (DUALSHOCK® and DUALSHOCK®2) and the
DUALSHOCK®3 wireless controller, are not compatible with the PS5 console. The
DUALSHOCK®4 wireless controller is compatible with PlayStation®4 format software on
the PS5 console, but not with PS5 format software on the PS5 console.
• Do not stare at the light bar on the controller when it is blinking. If you experience
discomfort or pain anywhere in or on your body from light stimulation, discontinue
use immediately.
• Charge in an environment where the temperature range is between 10 °C and 30 °C.
Charging may not be as effective when performed in other environments.
• The battery has a limited lifespan. Battery duration will gradually decrease with
repeated usage and age. Battery life also varies depending on the storage method,
usage state, environment and other factors.
• When the wireless controller is not used for an extended period of time, it is
recommended that you fully charge it at least once a year in order to maintain battery
functionality.
