4. Getting Started

Removing / Installing Frames

Optimize cooling performance by using the appropriate frame for your laptop.

Setting It Up:

1. Position your laptop on top of the cooling pad and adjust the laptop support as needed.
2. Connect the cooling pad to any of the USB ports on your system using the USB Type-A connector.
3. Connect the power adapter to the cooling pad and plug it into a power outlet. Use the appropriate adapter plug for your region. This connection is required to power the cooling pad's fan.
4. Press the Power button to power on the cooling pad.

It's recommended to use the appropriate laptop support setting and frame to optimize cooling and prevent vent obstruction for your laptop. Cooling performance may vary depending on the specific laptop model size, internal components, environmental conditions, laptop configuration, and usage.

Install Razer Synapse when prompted or download its installer from razer.com/synapse to begin customizing your cooling pad's lighting and cooling modes.

Organizing Cables

When connecting the cooling pad to your laptop, route the cables neatly underneath the pad to keep them organized.

Adjusting the Fan Speed

Press the Fan speed button to switch between available fan speeds: LOW → MEDIUM → HIGH.

Repeat pressing until the desired fan speed is active.

Custom and additional smart fan settings can be accessed via Razer Synapse. On systems with Razer Synapse installed, the Fan speed button will also cycle through additional smart fan curve modes, and the fan will sync with your laptop's standby mode, turning off and on, and resuming previous settings when exiting standby.

Enabling / Disabling the Cooling Pad's Fan

Press the Fan speed button to enable the cooling pad's fan; press and hold the button for 3 seconds to disable it.

Customizing the Chroma Lighting

Cycling between Chroma effects: Press the Chroma RGB button to cycle through the lighting effects of the underglow lighting (e.g., BREATHING → SPECTRUM CYCLING → WAVE → STARLIGHT → STATIC).

Repeat pressing until the desired lighting effect is active.

Additional Chroma lighting options can be accessed via the Razer Synapse app. When the cooling pad is connected to a system with Razer Synapse installed, the lighting will sync with your laptop's standby mode, turning off and on, and resuming previous settings when exiting standby.

Enabling / Disabling the Chroma Lighting: Press the Chroma RGB button to enable the cooling pad's Chroma lighting; press and hold the button for 3 seconds to disable it.

7. Safety and Maintenance

Safety Guidelines

• Do not disassemble the device or operate under abnormal current loads; this voids the warranty.
• For troubleshooting, visit support.razer.com for FAQs, guides, and contact information.
• Place the cooling pad on a stable surface, ensuring it securely supports your laptop.
• Do not pull, stretch, or peel off the foam from the frame.
• Do not bend the frames or expose them to undue pressure.
• Ensure your laptop's size is compatible with the attached frame and that none of its air vents are blocked.
• When disconnecting cables, do not tug abruptly; gently unplug from the connector.
• Do not insert foreign objects into air vents or openings, whether the device is running or powered off.
• Handle the mesh air filter carefully; do not puncture, pinch, or tear it.
• Keep the device away from liquid, humidity, or moisture. Operate within the temperature range of 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F). If the temperature exceeds this range, unplug or switch off the device to stabilize.

Maintenance

The Razer Laptop Cooling Pad requires minimal maintenance.

Once a month, unplug the cooling pad and its power adapter, disconnect all devices, and clean the cooling pad using a soft cloth, cotton swab, or brush to prevent dirt buildup. Do not use soap or harsh cleaning agents.

For thorough cleaning, remove the fan cover and mesh air filter, then use compressed air, a soft brush, or cloth to remove dust or debris. Reattach all components after cleaning.

CAUTION: The fan cover and mesh air filter should only be removed for maintenance purposes. Always reattach each component to maintain the device's performance and safety.
