Vibration function
• If the controller is sitting on a flat surface, the vibration of the controller during
gameplay may cause it to fall, leading to injury or malfunction�
• Do not use the vibration or trigger effect function if you have any ailment or injury to
body parts such as the bones, joints, or muscles of the hand or arm or that may be
affected by this vibration function� To disable the features, select Settings
Accessories from the home screen�
Static shock
When using the headset 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� This effect could be reduced by wearing clothes made from materials that
do not easily generate static shock�
Moisture condensation
If the console is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one, moisture may
condense inside the console� Should this occur, the console may not operate properly� In
this case, turn off and unplug the console until the moisture evaporates (this may take
several hours)� If the console still does not operate properly, please contact customer
support�
High temperature message
If the console becomes too hot, you will see a notification message on your screen�
Continued use while the message displays may lead to the console becoming
non-operational� If you see the message, turn off the console and wait until it cools
down� After the console cools down, move it to a well-ventilated location that is not
subject to high temperatures� Check to make sure the console vents are not blocked, and
if you installed an M�2 SSD to the console, be sure that the heat-dissipation parts haven't
detached from the M�2 SSD� See "Install an M�2 SSD" (page 8) for more information on
heat-dissipation parts�
Motion sensor
When using the motion sensor function of the 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 controller to prevent it from slipping out of your grasp and causing
damage or injury�
• If using a 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�

immediately if you experience any discomfort or pain�
