SWITCHING PROFILES You can switch between the Profiles of your Razer CopperheadTM in 3 ways: a. By selecting the active Profile in the Synapse Configurator, b. Button programmed via the Synapse Configurator in the Main Window, c. Profile button, located at the bottom of the mouse. Pressing the Profile button will advance one Profile. When the active Profile is switched, the Razer CopperheadTM will flash the corresponding number of times (for example, if Profile 3 is activated, the Razer CopperheadTM will flash 3 times to indicate that is the Profile you have selected). It will remember the currently active Profile even if turned off and will boot up in the active Profile. ON-THE-FLY SENSITIVITYTM If a button has been assigned to "On-The-Fly SensitivityTM", pressing the assigned button and moving the scroll wheel will produce a bar on the lower right hand corner of your screen, allowing you to dynamically adjust your sensitivity settings in the application. This feature requires the driver to be installed. ADVANCED SETTINGS GUIDE Sensitivity Mouse sensitivity is an internal filter of the driver. The maximum sensitivity setting of 10 is unfiltered. Each incremental stop or setting is a 10% decrease, e.g. 1 setting will decrease mouse pointer input to 10% (i.e. a linear graph). Acceleration Acceleration is an internal filter of the driver, and is primarily a legacy option for low dpi mice users. With acceleration enabled, the faster you swipe the mouse, additional movement is added. Windows XP has acceleration turned on by default as a convenience for users assuming that everyone will have 400dpi mice, but this will likely be a hindrance to most gamers and precision users who require greater accuracy. The `acceleration off' option (default) turns off internal acceleration only and does not affect Windows XP acceleration, which can be turned off via the Control Panel, Mouse, Pointer Options, and unselecting `Enhance Pointer Precision'. Windows Pointer Speed Pointer speed is the Windows implementation of Sensitivity. In Windows XP, a setting of `5' means there is no filtering (default). This bar is included as a convenience. DPI switcher - Resolution Resolution is how many counts per inch of movement that is sent by the mouse hardware to the OS. e.g. 400dpi means a movement of one inch will result in 400 counts of movement. Without any of the above filters operating, this will result in 400 pixels of movement on the screen. Independent X and Y-axis Settings You can preset independent X-axis (sensitivity movements side to side) and Y-axis (sensitivity movements up and down). When this feature is enabled you will see a new on-the-fly interface bar when enacted on their screen that allows further sensitivity adjustments. RESETTING TO FACTORY DEFAULT To reset the Razer CopperheadTM to factory default, press and hold the Profile Button for 20 seconds while the Razer CopperheadTM is connected to a powered on computer. NB: ALL CONFIGURATION SETTINGS WILL BE LOST WHEN YOU RESET THE RAZER COPPERHEADTM TO FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS. ALL CONFIGURATION SETTINGS WILL NEED TO BE RE-ENTERED OR LOADED FROM THE CONTROL PANEL AFTER THE RAZER COPPERHEADTM IS RESET. SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE SAFETY GUIDELINES The Razer CopperheadTM uses a Class 1 Eye Safe laser and under normal use presents no danger. However, using it other than that prescribed herein puts the user at risk of hazardous radiation exposure. In order to achieve maximum safety while using your mouse, we suggest that you adopt the following guidelines: 1. Avoid looking directly into the laser beam of your mouse or pointing the beam in any one else's eye. Note that the laser beam is NOT visible to the naked human eye and is set on an always on mode. 2. Should you have trouble operating the mouse properly and troubleshooting does not work, unplug the device and contact the Razer hotline or go to www.razerzone.com for support. Do not attempt to service or fix the device yourself at any time. 3. Do not take apart the mouse (doing so will also void your warranty) and do not attempt to service it yourself or operate it under abnormal current loads. 4. Keep your mouse away from liquid, humidity or moisture. Operate your mouse only within the specified temperature range of 0°C(32°F) to 40°C(104°F). Should you operate it in a temperature that is beyond this range, unplug and switch off the device in order to let the temperature stabilize within the optimal temperature range. COMFORT Here are some tips to ensure that you are comfortable while using your mouse. Research has shown that long periods of repetitive motion, improper positioning of your computer peripherals, incorrect body position, and poor habits may be associated with physical discomfort and injury to nerves, tendons, and muscles. Please follow these guidelines to ensure comfortable use of your mouse and avoid injury. 1. Position your keyboard and monitor directly in front of you with your mouse next to it. Place your elbows next to your side, not too far away and your mouse within easy reach. 2. Adjust the height of your chair and table so that the keyboard and mouse are at or below elbow height. 3. Keep your feet well supported, posture straight and your shoulders relaxed. 4. During gameplay, relax your wrist and keep it straight. If you do the same tasks with your hands repeatedly, try not to bend, extend or twist your hands for long periods. 5. Do not rest your wrists on hard surfaces for long periods. Use a wrist support such as Razer's gel-filled eXactRestTM to support your wrist while gaming. 6. Customize the buttons on your mouse to suit your style of gaming in order to minimize repetitive or awkward motions while gaming. 7. Make sure that your mouse fits comfortably in your hands. 8. Do not sit in the same position all day. Get up, step away from your desk and do exercises to stretch your arms, shoulders, neck and legs. 9. If you should experience any physical discomfort while using your mouse, such as pain, numbness, or tingling in your hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck or back, please consult a qualified medical doctor immediately. MAINTENANCE AND USE The Razer CopperheadTM is equipped with a laser sensor which has a tracking beam which is invisible to the naked human eye. There is a little regular maintenance to keep the Razer CopperheadTM in optimum condition. Once a month we recommend you unplug the mouse from the USB port and clean the lens below the Razer CopperheadTM with a soft cloth or cotton swab. Use a little warm water but no soap or harsh cleaning agents. Note that the Razer CopperheadTM comes with an extra set of Teflon feet. To get the ultimate experience in movement and control, we highly recommend a premium mousing surface from Razer. Some surfaces will cause undue wear on the feet requiring constant wear and eventual replacement. Do note that the sensor of the Razer CopperheadTM is `tuned' or optimized especially for the RazerTM mousing surfaces. The Razer CopperheadTM has been optimized with RazerTM mousing surfaces and this means that the sensor has been tested extensively to confirm that it reads and tracks best on RazerTM mousing surfaces. Do note that other premium mousing surfaces from companies like Everglide may work just as well. LEGALESE COPYRIGHT INFORMATION ©2005 Razer USA Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
