7. Safety and Maintenance

Safety Guidelines:

• For troubleshooting, unplug the device and contact Razer support at support.razer.com.
• Do not disassemble the device; this voids the warranty. Do not operate under abnormal current loads.
• Keep the device away from liquids, humidity, and moisture. Operate within 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F). If the temperature exceeds this range, unplug the device to allow it to stabilize.

Comfort Guidelines:

To prevent discomfort and injury from repetitive motion:

1. Position your keyboard and monitor directly in front of you, with your mouse nearby. Keep elbows at your sides and keyboard within easy reach.
2. Adjust chair and table height so the keyboard and mouse are at or below elbow height.
3. Ensure feet are supported, posture is straight, and shoulders are relaxed.
4. During gameplay, keep your wrist straight and relaxed. Avoid prolonged bending, extending, or twisting of hands.
5. Do not rest wrists on hard surfaces for extended periods.
6. Use a wrist rest for support while gaming.
7. Customize keys to minimize repetitive or awkward motions.
8. Avoid sitting in the same position all day. Get up, move around, and stretch arms, shoulders, neck, and legs.

If you experience pain, numbness, or tingling in your hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck, or back, consult a qualified medical doctor immediately.

Maintenance and Use:

The Razer Ornata V3 requires minimal maintenance. Once a month, unplug the device and clean it with a soft cloth or cotton swab to prevent dirt buildup. Do not use soap or harsh cleaning agents.
