SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE
SAFETY GUIDELINES
In order to achieve maximum safety while using your Razer Barracuda X, 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
support.razer.com to for assistance.
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.
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 any activities that require active awareness of your surroundings.
Listening to excessively loud volumes over extended periods of time 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 of time. Please, take good care of your hearing.
MAINTENANCE AND USE
The Razer Barracuda X 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 Barracuda X 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 Barracuda X 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.
