SONY Dual shock Wireless USB Controller Instruction Manual

Battery life and Duration

• The battery has a limited life span. Battery duration will gradually decrease with repeated usage and age. Battery life also varies depending on the storage method, conditions of use and environmental factors.
• Charge in an environment where the temperature range is between 10 °C – 30 °C (50 °F – 86 °F).
• Charging may not be as effective when performed in other environments.
• When the wireless controller is not used for an extended period of time, it is recommended that you fully charge it at least once a year to help maintain battery functionality.

Use and Handling Precautions

• Avoid prolonged use of this product. Take a break at about 30 minute intervals.
• Stop using this unit 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.
• Permanent hearing loss may occur if the headset 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 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.
• Avoid looking into the light bar of the controller when it is flashing. Stop using the controller immediately if you experience any discomfort or pain in any body parts.
• This product is intended for use with the hands only.
• The vibration function of this product may aggravate injuries. Do not use the vibration function if you have any ailment or injury to the bones, joints, or muscles of your hands or arms.
• Note that some software titles enable the vibration function by default. To disable the vibration function, select (Settings) [Devices]  [Controllers] from the function screen, and then remove the check mark from [Enable Vibration].
• Never disassemble or modify the product.
• Do not expose the product to high temperatures, high humidity or direct sunlight.
• Do not allow the product to come into contact with liquids.

  • Before using, check that there is plenty of space around you.
  • When using the controller, grip it firmly to make sure it cannot slip out of your hand.
  • If using a controller that is connected to the PlayStation®4 system with a USB cable, make sure there is enough space for the cable so that the cable will not hit a person or object. Also, take care to avoid pulling the cable out of the PS4TM system while using the controller.
