SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE

SAFETY GUIDELINES
In order to achieve maximum safety while using your Razer Lancehead, we suggest that you adopt the following guidelines:
Should you have trouble operating the device properly and troubleshooting does not work, unplug the device and contact the Razer hotline or go to support.raze.com for support. Do not attempt to service or fix the device yourself at any time.
Do not take apart the device (doing so will void your warranty) and do not attempt to operate it under abnormal current loads.
Keep the device away from liquid, humidity or moisture. Operate the device only within the specific temperature range of 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F). Should the temperature exceed this range, unplug and/or switch off the device in order to let the temperature stabilize to an optimal level.
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 Lancehead.

• 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 keyboard within easy reach.
• Adjust the height of your chair and table so that the keyboard and mouse are at or below elbow-height.
• Keep your feet well supported, posture straight and your shoulders relaxed.
• 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.
• Do not rest your wrists on hard surfaces for long periods. Use a wrist rest to support your wrist while gaming.
• Customize the keys on your keyboard to suit your style of gaming in order to minimize repetitive or awkward motions while gaming.
• 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.

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 Lancehead requires minimum maintenance to keep it in optimum condition. Once a month we recommend you unplug the device from the computer and clean it using a soft cloth or cotton swab to prevent dirt buildup. Do not use soap or harsh cleaning agents.
To get the ultimate experience in movement and control, we highly recommend a premium mouse mat from Razer. Some surfaces will cause undue wear on the feet requiring constant care and eventual replacement.
Do note that the sensor of the Razer Lancehead is ‘tuned’ or optimized especially for the Razer mouse mats. This means that the sensor has been tested extensively to confirm that the Razer Lancehead reads and tracks best on Razer mouse mats.
