Should you have trouble operating the keyboard properly and troubleshooting does not work, unplug the device and call the RazerTM hotline or go to www.razerzone.com for support. Do not attempt to service or fix the device yourself at any time. 2. Do not take the keyboard apart (doing so will also void your warranty) and do not attempt to service it yourself or operate it under abnormal current loads. 3. Keep your keyboard away from liquid, humidity or moisture. Operate your keyboard 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. 1 4 | For Gamers. by Gamers .t m COMFORT 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. Below are some guidelines to avoid injury and ensure optimum comfort while using your Razer LycosaTM. 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 with your mouse within easy reach. 2. Adjust the height of your chair and table so that your 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. 6. Customize the buttons on your keyboard to suit your style of gaming in order to minimize repetitive or awkward motions while gaming. 7. Make sure your fingers are resting on the keyboard buttons comfortably. 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 keyboard, 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 There is a little regular maintenance required to keep the Razer LycosaTM in optimum condition. Once a month, we recommend that you unplug the keyboard from the USB port and clean the keys on it with a soft cloth or cotton swab. Use a little warm water but avoid soap or harsh cleaning agents. leGalese COPYRIGHT INFORMATION ©2007 Razer USA Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
