SETTING UP YOUR RAZER KAIRA HYPERSPEED
CHARGING YOUR HEADSET
Connect your Razer Kaira HyperSpeed to a powered USB Type-A port using the
charging cable. For best results, please fully charge your headset before
using it for the first time. A depleted unit will fully charge in about 3
hours.
Headset charging using any port on the PS5™ console only works when the
console is not in Rest Mode.
CONNECTING TO YOUR HEADSET
A. TO A PS5™ CONSOLE OR PC VIA 2.4 GHZ
- Plug the USB Type C wireless dongle into your device. When plugging the USB Type C wireless dongle into your PS5™ console, make sure it doesn’t obstruct the console’s USB Type-A port.
- Press and hold the Power button until the status indicator briefly lights up in solid green to power on the headset.
- Wait until the status indicator briefly becomes static green, indicating that the headset is connected to the USB Type C wireless dongle. This headset uses 2.4 GHz wireless bandwidth. If the PlayStation®5 console and other devices use the same bandwidth, signal interference may occur.
- On your device (if applicable), set the Razer Kaira HyperSpeed as the default Input and Output Device.
On PS5™ consoles Settings > Sound| Audio Output > Output device > Razer Kaira HS 2.4

headset will function at a lower latency, giving you real-time audio feedback
while gaming. Repeat to disable gaming mode
This feature is only available on
Bluetooth connection. Keeping the headset within a very close distance of the
audio source is recommended for the best performance.
Reactivating Bluetooth pairing mode
You can also use the Razer SmartSwitch to reactivate Bluetooth pairing mode.
While connected via Bluetooth, press and hold the Razer SmartSwitch button for
5 seconds to reactivate Bluetooth pairing mode and connect your device as
needed to Razer Kaira HS (BT).
UNDERSTANDING RAZER SMARTSWITCH
With the Razer Kaira HyperSpeed simultaneously connected to a PC or gaming
console (via USB Type C wireless dongle) and a mobile device (via Bluetooth),
you’ll be able to use the headset for incoming/outgoing/conference calls from
a connected Bluetooth device and switch back to the game audio without
removing the headset. The status indicator will briefly show static white to
indicate that the headset is connected to both audio sources.
The following behaviors below will help you understand how your headset
responds to the audio source switching and incoming/outgoing/conference calls
when your headset is connected to a Bluetooth device and the USB Type C
wireless dongle:
Headset audio | Razer SmartSwitch behavior |
---|---|
Streaming via USBType C wireless dongle | ▪ The headset will automatically |
switch to Bluetooth audio source for incoming/outgoing/conference calls from
your mobile device and resume using the USB Type C wireless dongle after each
call.
You can deactivate automatic source switching for incoming calls by enabling
your headset’s Do Not Disturb feature on the Razer Audio app.
▪ Audio from the connected mobile device will ONLY automatically stream on the
headset if no audio is present or streaming on the USB Type C wireless dongle.
▪ Auto-pause on streamed audio when switching audio sources depending on the
app you’re using (e.g., Spotify, Apple Music).
Streaming via Bluetooth| ▪ When you switch to the USB Type C wireless dongle
audio source, your headset will remain connected to your mobile device via
Bluetooth. However, the Razer Audio app will disconnect from your mobile
device.
▪ Auto-pause on streamed audio when switching audio sources depending on the
app you’re using (e.g., Spotify, Apple Music).
Not streaming on any audio source| Audio will play on the first audio source
that streams audio.

SIDETONE WHEEL
Rotate the Sidetone wheel to adjust the volume of your voice that you can hear
through the headset.
RAZER™ HYPERCLEAR CARDIOID MIC

SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE
SAFETY GUIDELINES
To achieve maximum safety while using your Razer Kaira HyperSpeed, 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.razer.com for assistance.
Don’t take apart the device and do not attempt to operate it under abnormal
current loads. Doing so will void your warranty.
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
to let the temperature stabilize to an optimal level.
The device isolates external ambient sounds even at low volumes, resulting in
lowered awareness of your external surroundings. Please remove the device when
engaging in activities requiring active awareness of your surroundings.
Listening to excessively loud volumes over extended periods can damage your
hearing. Furthermore, legislation of certain countries permits a maximum sound
level of 86db to affect your hearing for 8 hours a day. We, therefore,
recommend that you reduce the volume to a comfortable level when listening for
prolonged periods. Please, take good care of your hearing.
MAINTENANCE AND USE
The Razer Kaira HyperSpeed requires minimum maintenance to keep it in optimum
condition. Once a month, we recommend you clean it using a soft cloth or
cotton swab to prevent dirt buildup. Do not use soap or harsh cleaning agents.
BATTERY WARNING
The Razer Kaira HyperSpeed contains a Li-ion rechargeable battery. In general,
the life expectancy of such batteries is dependent upon usage. If you suspect
that the Li-ion rechargeable battery inside the Razer Kaira HyperSpeed may be
drained (has a low charge), try charging it.
Caution: Do not open, mutilate, or expose to conducting materials
(metal), moisture, liquid, fire, or heat. Doing so may cause batteries to leak
or explode, resulting in personal injury. Battery life varies with usage.
