SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE

SAFETY GUIDELINES
In order to achieve maximum safety while using your Razer Kraken V4 X, we suggest that you adopt the following guidelines:
Should you have trouble operating the device properly and troubleshooting does not work, unplug the device and contact the Razer hotline or go to supportrazer.com for assistance.
Don’t take apart the device, and don’t attempt to operate it under abnormal current loads. Doing so will void your warranty.
Keep the device away from liquid, humidity, or moisture. Operate the device only within the specific temperature range of 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F). Should the temperature exceed this range, unplug and/or switch off the device to stabilize the temperature to an optimal level.
We recommend stretching your Razer Kraken V4 X gently apart before placing them over your head to minimize headband stress. However, please avoid overstretching the Kraken V4 X beyond its technical limits.
The device isolates external ambient sounds even at low volumes, resulting in lowered awareness of your external surroundings. Please remove the device when engaging in activities requiring active awareness of your surroundings.
Listening to excessively loud volumes over extended periods can damage your hearing.
Furthermore, legislation of certain countries permits a maximum sound level of 86dB to affect your hearing for 8 hours a day. We, therefore, recommend that you reduce the volume to a comfortable level when listening for prolonged periods. Please, take good care of your hearing.
ΜΑΙΝΤΕΝΑNCE AND USE
Your Razer Kraken V4 X requires minimum maintenance to keep it in optimum condition. Once a month, we recommend you clean the device using a soft cloth or cotton swab to prevent dirt buildup. Don’t use soap or harsh cleaning agents.
