For your health
To prevent eye strain:
• Be sure to take a break of about 15
minutes during every hour of play.
• Do not play a game when you are
very tired or short of sleep.
• Play in a well-lit room and keep a
safe distance from the TV screen.
On operation
• Operate the unit only on 120V AC,
60 Hz.
• Do not block the air vents or wrap
up the unit since heat may build up
internally.

subject it to any mechanical shock,
or place any heavy objects on top of
it. Doing so may damage the unit
and the disc.

®

95˚F(5˚C-35˚C)), excessive dust or
sand, moisture, rain, on an uneven
surface, or in a car with its windows
closed.
• If the unit causes interference to
radio or television reception, turn
off the unit or move it away from
the radio or television.

cover. To protect the lens from dust,
keep the disc cover closed except
when inserting and removing discs.

operate properly. If this happens,
remove the disc for several hours
until the moisture evaporates. If the
unit still does not operate properly,
please call 1-800-345-7669 for
technical assistance.
