SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE

SAFETY GUIDELINES

In order to achieve maximum safety while using your Razer Blade 18, we suggest that you adopt the following guidelines:

1. Should you have trouble operating the device properly and troubleshooting does not work, unplug the device, and go to support.razer.com where you can find FAQs, guides, and contact information to our Razer Advocacy team.
2. Do not take apart the device (doing so may void your warranty) and do not attempt to operate it during power fluctuations.
3. Magnets and electromagnetic fields may interfere with your electronic devices under certain conditions. To prevent any possible interference, keep your laptop away from other electronic devices at a safe distance of more than 6”/15cm or more than 12”/30cm apart for wireless chargers.
4. 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 Blade 18.

1. Position your laptop directly in front of you. If you have an external mouse, position it next to the laptop. 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 laptop is 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. When using an external mouse, use a wrist rest to support your wrist while gaming.
6. 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.
7. If you should experience any physical discomfort while using your laptop, such as pain, numbness, or tingling in your hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck or back, please consult a qualified medical doctor immediately.

BATTERY WARNING

The Razer Blade 18 contains an internal, lithium-ion rechargeable battery. In general, the life expectancy of such battery is dependent upon usage. If you suspect that the lithium-ion rechargeable battery inside the Razer Blade 18 may be drained (has a low charge), try charging it. If the battery does not recharge after several attempts, it may be non-operational. Do not open, mutilate, or expose to conducting materials (metal), moisture, liquid, fire, or heat. Doing so may cause the battery to leak or explode, resulting in personal injury. Do not use or charge the battery if leaking, discolored, or deformed. Do not leave the rechargeable battery discharged or unused for extended periods. When not using your Razer Blade 18 battery for more than 30 days, be sure to store the battery in a fully charged state. Do not tamper with the battery. Dispose of the used battery according to local regulations.
