Do not place this product close to such medical devices or persons who use such medical devices. Consult your doctor before using this product if you use such medical devices.

VOLUME LEVEL

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 damage 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.

LITHIUM-ION BATTERY

The controller contains a lithium-ion rechargeable battery. Do not handle damaged or leaking lithium-ion batteries.
If the built-in battery fluid leaks, stop using the product immediately and contact the appropriate PlayStation customer service helpline which can be found within the accompanying documentation.
If the material gets into the eyes, do not rub. Immediately flush the eyes with clean water and seek medical attention.
If the material comes into contact with the skin or clothes, immediately rinse the affected area with clean water and consult your doctor.
Do not allow the battery to come into contact with fire or subject it to extreme temperatures such as in direct sunlight, in a vehicle exposed to the sun, or near a heat source.
