RADIO WAVES
Radio waves may affect electronic equipment or medical devices (for example, pacemakers), which may cause malfunctions and possible injuries.
• If you use a pacemaker or other medical device, consult your doctor or the manufacturer of your medical device before using the wireless networking feature (Bluetooth® and wireless LAN).
• Do not use the wireless networking feature in the following locations:

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, 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.

This is a result of static electricity accumulated in the body, and is not a malfunction of your headset or headphones. This effect could be reduced by wearing clothes made from materials that do not easily generate static shock.
Moisture condensation
If the console is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one, moisture may condense inside the console. Should this occur, the console may not operate properly. In this case, turn off and unplug the console until the moisture evaporates (this may take several hours). If the console still does not operate properly, contact the appropriate PlayStation® customer service helpline.
High temperature message
If the console becomes too hot, you will see a notification message on your screen. Continued use while the message displays may lead to the console becoming non-operational. If you see the message, turn off the console and wait until it cools 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, and if you installed an M.2 SSD to the console, be sure that the heat-dissipation parts haven’t detached from the M.2 SSD.
Motion sensor
When using the motion sensor function of the controller, be cautious of the following points. If the controller hits a person or object, it may cause accidental injury or damage.

• Do not place the console or accessories on surfaces that are unstable, tilted or subject to vibration.
• Use the included horizontal stand feet to set the console in the horizontal position. If you do not use the feet and set the console in a position other than instructed, there is a risk of injury, damage, or malfunction. For instructions on attaching the feet, please see the Quick Start Guide. To set the console in the vertical position, you’ll need to use the vertical stand.
