Health To help prevent low temperature burns* or other personal injury, avoid prolonged physical contact with the car adaptor or PS Vita system during use. * Low-temperature burns are burns that occur when the skin is in contact with objects of
relatively low temperatures (40 C or more) for an extended period of time.
Use and handling Do not expose the car adaptor to high temperatures, high humidity or direct sunlight, or to extreme cold (use in an environment where temperatures range 5 C - 35 C).
Avoid touching the connectors of the car adaptor with metal objects as this may cause a short circuit. Do not leave the PS Vita system turned on in an unattended vehicle. Never disassemble or modify the car adaptor. Do not allow liquid or small particles to get into the adaptor, plug or multi-use connector. Do not put heavy objects on the car adaptor. Do not twist the car adaptor cord, or pull it forcibly. Do not throw or drop the car adaptor, or subject it to strong physical shock. Do not cover or wrap the car adaptor, as doing so may cause heat to build up internally. Keep the system and car adaptor out of the reach of small children. Small children may wrap the car adaptor cord around themselves, which may inflict injury or cause an accident or a malfunction.
Do not expose the PS Vita system or accessories to dust, smoke or steam.
Connecting the car adaptor Make sure that the vehicles engine is running before inserting the plug into the power socket. Connect the car adaptor directly to the vehicles power socket. Do not use extension cords, as these may cause the car adaptor cord to become hot, resulting in fire or personal injury.
Insert the plug all the way into the vehicles power socket. If the plug is not fully inserted, the product may become excessively hot.
Disconnecting the car adaptor Disconnect the car adaptor from the vehicles power socket when not in use. Failure to do so may result in fire or damage to the vehicle.
Do not leave the car adaptor connected to the vehicles power socket when the vehicles ignition is switched off, as this could drain the vehicles battery.
For best results disconnect the plug of the car adaptor from the power socket before the vehicles ignition is switched off.
When disconnecting the car adaptor from the vehicles power socket, pull it out by grasping the plug. Pulling on the cord may damage the cord, and result in fire or electrical shock.
Cleaning the car adaptor For safety reasons, before cleaning the car adaptor, disconnect it from the vehicles power socket. If the car adaptor becomes dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use solvents or other chemicals.
Connecting to the PS Vita system
See diagram A.
Caution If the inside of the vehicles power socket is dirty, the plug may become hot due to a poor connection. This may create a fire hazard. Always make sure that the power socket is clean before use.
1 Connect the USB cable to the car adaptor.
2 Insert the connector of the car adaptor into the multi-use port of the PS Vita system.
3 With your vehicles engine running, insert the plug into the vehicles power socket.
Hints Remove the plug from the vehicles power socket when the car adaptor is not in use. When using a radio, the car adaptor may cause interference. If this happens, disconnect the plug from the vehicles power socket or move the radio away from the car adaptor.
Replacing the fuse
See diagram B. If the PS Vita system does not work properly when connected to the car adaptor, check to see if the fuse is intact. If the fuse has failed, replace it with a standard T2A L 250 V fuse.
1 Twist and remove the fuse cap.
2 Replace the defective fuse.
3 Reattach the fuse cap.
Hints When replacing the fuse, use only the type specified in this manual. If the fuse becomes defective soon after replacement, call the PS Vita customer service helpline. Details are found within the contact information section at http://eu.playstation.com/support/.
