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

that do not easily generate static shock�

condense inside the console� Should this occur, the console may not operate properly�

take several hours)� If the console still does not operate properly, contact the appropriate
PlayStation® customer service helpline which can be found within the guarantee section�

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,
