• Make sure the AC power cord is unplugged from the electrical outlet before you connect the HDMI cable.
• Any TV or component connected to the console must be functioning properly and free of defects. If a TV or component connected to the console is faulty or defective, it may cause damage to the TV or component, or to the console itself. As with all electrical products, connection to faulty or defective components, or the failure to connect to a properly wired outlet, may cause sparking and pose a fire hazard.
• Do not touch the console or connected cables or accessories during an electrical storm.
• Do not use the console or accessories near water.
• Do not allow liquid, small particles or other foreign objects to get into the console or accessories.
• Do not touch the connectors of the console or accessories.

• Do not expose the console or accessories to high temperatures, high humidity or direct sunlight during operation, transportation and storage.
• Do not place the console or accessories on surfaces that are unstable, tilted or subject to vibration.
• Use the included base to set up the console as directed. If you do not use the base and set up the console in ways other than directed, there is a risk of injury, damage, or malfunction. For instructions on attaching the base, see the Quick Start Guide.
• Be careful when carrying the console. If you do not have a good grip, the console may drop causing potential damage or injury. Do not carry the console by the cover only. When attaching the base to the console, hold the console securely and not by the cover only.
• Do not turn off the console while data is being saved on or loaded from the SSD or USB drives.

• Parents are encouraged to monitor children in online activities to ensure safe and responsible internet usage.
• Permanent hearing loss may occur if 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 the headset 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 headset or headphones.
