No. You should never disassemble or modify the system or accessories. Use the SONY PS4 PRO CUH-7208B system and accessories only according to the instructions in the product documentation. Unauthorised modification will void your warranty. There are no user-serviceable components inside the system. Doing so creates a risk of exposure to laser radiation as well as to electrical shock.

• The frequencies used by the wireless networking feature are the 2.4 GHz (WLAN, Bluetooth®) / 5 GHz (WLAN) ranges. The 2.4 GHz range is shared by various devices, and while the product is designed to minimise interference, it may sometimes reduce connection speed, shorten signal range, or cause unexpected termination of the connection.

• Operation in the 5150-5350 MHz band is restricted to indoor use only.

• When using the system’s scan function to select a wireless LAN access point, only connect to an access point that you are authorised to use, or one that is available through a public wireless LAN or hotspot service.

If the system or a disc is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one, moisture may condense on the lens inside the system or on the disc, preventing proper operation. If this happens, remove the disc, turn off and unplug the system. Do not put the disc back in until the moisture evaporates, which may take several hours.

For safety, always disconnect the AC power cord from the electricity supply before cleaning.

• **Exterior Surfaces (plastic cover):**

– Wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

– Do not apply insecticides or other volatile substances.

– Do not place any rubber or vinyl materials on the product exterior for an extended period.

– Do not use solvents or other chemicals. Do not wipe with a chemically-treated cleaning cloth.

• **Vents:** When dust accumulates in the system vents, remove the dust with a low-powered vacuum cleaner.

• **Connectors:** If the connectors of the system or AC power cord are not clean, the flow of electricity may be obstructed. Remove the dirt with a dry cloth.

• **Handling:** Fingerprints, dust, dirt, or scratches on the disc can distort the picture or reduce sound quality. Do not touch the disc surface when handling it. Do not stick paper or tape onto discs and do not write on them.

• **Storage:** Do not expose discs to high temperatures, high humidity, or direct sunlight. When discs will not be used for an extended period, store them in their cases. Stacking uncased discs or storing them at an angle can cause them to warp.

• **Cleaning:** Clean discs with a soft cloth, lightly wiping from the centre outwards. Do not use solvents, record cleaners, anti-static spray, or other chemicals, as these can damage the discs.

When attaching the stand, place the system on a soft cloth to prevent scratching.
