3. How to turn the PSP™ on and off

To turn the system off, locate the power/hold switch on the right side of the system and slide the switch up and hold for two seconds. The system will shut down.

4. How to put the PSP™ into Sleep Mode
 

Putting the system into sleep mode allows you to effectively pause any current activity and place the system into a low power sleep state. While in sleep mode, the system turns off the screen, disables any wireless activity, and does not respond to button presses. When power is resumed, these functions are quickly restored and usage can resume with minimal interruption.

NOTE: If sleep mode is cleared during video or audio playback, the screen will return to the home menu.

To enter sleep mode:

With the system turned on and a game playing, slide the power/hold switch up. Hold the switch for less than 2 seconds. The power indicator flashes and then turns off, and the system enters sleep mode.

NOTE: Do not put the system into sleep mode while the Memory Stick Duo™ access indicator is on, as it may cause data loss or corruption. Additionally, not all software will feature the sleep mode function. Please contact the publisher of the title for more information.

To exit sleep mode:

Slide the power/hold switch up again.

If the battery runs out while in sleep mode, when the sleep mode is cleared, the system will not return to the screen that was displayed before entering sleep mode. It is recommended that you save game data before putting the system into sleep mode.

5. How to put the PSP™ into Hold Mode

When the PSP™ system is in hold mode, the system buttons are locked and do not function. This mode is used to avoid unintended operation of the system.For example, it allows you to disable the buttons while music or movies are playing so as to not cause unintended operation.

To enter hold mode:

Slide the power/hold switch on the right side of the PSP™ system down. The hold indicator will turn yellow.

To clear hold mode:

Slide the power/hold switch back to its original position.

6. How to turn the screen off

To conserve power, the screen can be turned off when it is not needed (for example, when playing music). Find the backlight button located directly to the right of the PSP™ logo on the front of the system. Hold down the backlight button for 2 seconds to turn the screen off. To turn the screen back on, simply press this button once. Note that this can be used in conjunction with the power/hold switch after turning off the screen to additionally protect against unintended operation.
