Safety

This product has been designed with the highest concern for safety. However, any electrical device, if used improperly, has the potential for causing fire, electrical shock or personal injury. To help ensure accident-free operation, follow these guidelines:

• Observe all warnings, precautions, and instructions.
• Stop use and disconnect any other cables immediately if the device functions in an abnormal manner, produces unusual sounds or smells or becomes too hot to touch.
• Do not handle damaged or leaking lithium-ion batteries.
• If you come into contact with material from a leaking battery, take the following actions:
  • If the material gets into the eyes, do not rub. Immediately flush the eyes with clean water and seek medical attention.
  • If the material comes into contact with the skin or clothes, immediately rinse the affected area with clean water. Consult your doctor if inflammation or soreness develops.
• Do not allow the battery to come into contact with fire or subject it to extreme temperatures such as in direct sunlight, in a vehicle exposed to the sun or near a heat source.
• Keep this product out of the reach of small children. Small children may swallow small parts or may wrap the cables around themselves, which may inflict injury or cause an accident or a malfunction.
• Avoid playing when you are tired or need sleep.
• If you experience any of the following health problems, discontinue use of the product immediately. If symptoms persist, consult with your doctor.
  • Dizziness, nausea, fatigue or symptoms similar to motion sickness.
  • Discomfort or pain in a part of the body, such as eyes, ears, hands or arms.
• Do not touch the product during an electrical storm.
• Do not use the product near water.

• Do not expose the product to high temperatures, high humidity or direct sunlight during operation, transportation and storage.
• Do not leave the product in a car with the windows closed, particularly in hot weather.
• Do not place the product on the floor or in a place where they may cause someone to trip or stumble.
• Permanent hearing loss may occur if the 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 headsets 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 headsets or headphones.
• Stop using the product immediately if you begin to feel tired or if you experience discomfort or pain in your hands or arms during use. 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 of your PlayStation^®5 console.
