System URI's are URI's defined in param.sfo surrounded by triangle brackets. They can only be run by the system and not by the web browser. The PS Vita [[Calendar]] application allows user to create ICAL event files in the (.ics) format, which is an .INI-Like format with ':' instead of '=' for defining values. These files can be sent over PSN messenger and the Email client. To execute SUPPORT_URI's you simply have to write the URI you want into the .ics file's URL: entry and then view the event either in the Email application or the PSN messenger application and click the "www" browser icon.

*Note: You CANNOT use the Calendar application itself to do this. It must be done in the event preview screen found in Email or Messenger applications. You should be able to do this in any text editor.

"Please Wait..." and then take you to the "Welcome <yourname> to PSN" screen. However if you remove internet access from the console at the correct time using the "Please Wait..." screen then PSN authentication will fail. You will be booted back to the "Sign In" screen from here. You can sign in using any credentials and your PS Vita will be linked to this PSN account. However `ux0:/id.dat` is NOT updated so you will have to go back to your original PSN account before rebooting or you will be greeted with the fatal "Please format your memory card" message.
