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. 2. Should you have trouble operating the mouse properly and troubleshooting does not work, unplug the device and contact the RazerTM 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 or a soft pad like the Razer MantisTM (we highly recommend the Razer MantisTM Control for RTS and MMORPG) 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. saFety and maintenance SAFETY GUIDELINES In order to achieve maximum safety while using your mouse, adopt the following guidelines: 1. Avoid looking directly into the infrared optical beam of your mouse or pointing the beam in any one else's eye. Note that the infrared optical beam is NOT visible to the naked human eye and is set on an always on mode. 1 2 | For Gamers. by Gamers tm www. raz erzone.com | 1 3 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 KraitTM is equipped with an infrared optical sensor with a tracking beam. There is a little regular maintenance to keep the Razer KraitTM in optimum condition. Once a month we recommend you unplug the mouse from the USB port and clean the lens below the Razer KraitTM with a soft cloth or cotton swab. Use a little warm water but no soap or harsh cleaning agents. To get the ultimate experience in movement and control, we highly recommend a premium mousing surface from RazerTM which you can obtain from www.razerzone.com. Some surfaces will cause undue wear on the feet requiring constant wear and eventual replacement. Do note that the sensor of the Razer KraitTM is `tuned' or optimized especially for the RazerTM mousing surfaces. The Razer KraitTM 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. COPYRIGHT INFORMATION ©2006 Razer USA Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
