Introduction

The Razer Tetra headset connects via a standard 3.5mm jack, offering broad compatibility.
Connecting to Consoles (Xbox, PS4, Nintendo Switch)

Connecting to PC
For PC use, ensure your computer has a combined 3.5mm audio jack (headphone and microphone). If your PC has separate jacks for microphone (pink) and headphones (green), you may require a 3.5mm audio splitter (not included) to utilize both audio and microphone functions.
- Plug the 3.5mm connector into your PC's combined audio jack.
- If using a splitter, connect the headset to the splitter, then connect the splitter to the appropriate microphone and headphone jacks on your PC.
- Verify audio input and output settings in your operating system to ensure the Razer Tetra is selected as the default device.
Operating Instructions
Reversible Design
The Razer Tetra features a reversible design, allowing you to wear the headset on either your left or right ear. The microphone boom can be rotated to accommodate your preferred orientation.

Maintenance
Proper care ensures the longevity and performance of your Razer Tetra headset.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the headset. For ear cushions, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid excessive moisture. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the headset in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid tangling the cable.
- Cable Care: Do not pull on the cable to disconnect the headset. Always grasp the plug. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable.
Troubleshooting
No Audio or Microphone Function
- Check Connection: Ensure the 3.5mm jack is fully inserted into the device.
- Volume Levels: Verify that the in-line volume control is not at its minimum setting and that your device's volume is turned up.
- Microphone Mute: Confirm the microphone mute switch on the in-line control is in the 'unmuted' position.
- Device Settings: On PC, check your sound settings to ensure the Razer Tetra is selected as the default playback and recording device. On consoles, verify audio output and input settings.
- PC Splitter: If using a PC with separate audio jacks, ensure you are using a 3.5mm splitter and it is correctly connected.
Static or Unclear Audio/Microphone
- Interference: Move away from other electronic devices that might cause interference.
- Cable Condition: Inspect the cable for any damage or kinks.
- Port Check: Try plugging the headset into a different audio port on your device or another compatible device to rule out a faulty port.
