8. Safety and Maintenance

Safety Guidelines:

• Unplug the device and contact Razer support if troubleshooting fails.
• Do not disassemble the device; doing so voids the warranty. Avoid operating under abnormal current loads.
• Keep the device away from liquids and moisture. Operate within the temperature range of 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F). Unplug if temperatures exceed this range.
• Be aware of your surroundings. The headset isolates ambient sound, reducing awareness of the external environment. Remove the headset when activities require full environmental awareness.
• Protect your hearing. Prolonged listening at excessive volumes can cause hearing damage. Adhere to recommended safe listening levels (e.g., max 86dB for 8 hours).

Maintenance and Use:

To maintain optimal condition, unplug the device monthly and clean it with a soft cloth or cotton swab to prevent dirt buildup. Avoid using soap or harsh cleaning agents.
