7. Safety and Maintenance

Safety Guidelines

To ensure maximum safety while using your Razer BlackShark V3 雷蛇旋风黑鲨 V3, we recommend following these guidelines:

• If your device malfunctions and you cannot troubleshoot it, unplug the device and contact Razer support or visit support.razer.com/cn for technical assistance.
• Do not disassemble the device (this will void your warranty) and do not use it under abnormal current loads.
• Keep the device away from liquids and humid environments. Use the device only in environments with temperatures between 0°C and 40°C. If the temperature exceeds this range, unplug or turn off the device to allow it to stabilize.
• We recommend gently stretching the headband before wearing it to minimize pressure on the headband. However, do not overstretch it beyond its technical limits.
• Even at low volume levels, this device can isolate you from your surroundings, reducing your awareness of the environment. If you are involved in activities that require full awareness of your surroundings, please remove the device.
• Listening at excessively high volume levels for prolonged periods can damage your hearing. Some countries/regions have a legal maximum sound level of 86 decibels, which affects your hearing if exposed for 8 hours daily. Therefore, we recommend lowering the volume to a comfortable level when using this device. Protect your hearing.

Maintenance and Care

The Razer BlackShark V3 requires minimal maintenance to maintain peak performance. We recommend cleaning it monthly with a soft cloth or cotton swabs to prevent dirt buildup. Do not use soap or harsh cleaning agents.
