SAFETY GUIDELINES

In order to achieve maximum safety

while using your Razer Lycosa™, we

suggest that you adopt the following

guidelines:
1. Should you have trouble operating the

keyboard properly and troubleshooting

does not work, unplug the device and

call the Razer™ hotline or go to

www.razerzone.com for support. Do

not attempt to service or fix the device

yourself at any time.

2. Do not take the keyboard apart (doing

so will also void your warranty) and do

not attempt to service it yourself or

operate it under abnormal current

loads.

3. Keep your keyboard away from liquid,

humidity or moisture. Operate your

keyboard only within the specified

temperature range of 0˚C (32˚F) to

40˚C (104˚F). Should you operate it in

a temperature that is beyond this

range, unplug and switch off the

device in order to let the temperature

stabilize within the optimal

temperature range.

COMFORT

Research has shown that long periods of

repetitive motion, improper positioning of

your computer peripherals, incorrect body

position, and poor habits may be

associated with physical discomfort and

injury to nerves, tendons, and muscles.

Below are some guidelines to avoid injury

and ensure optimum comfort while using

your Razer Lycosa™.

1. Position your keyboard and monitor

directly in front of you with your mouse

next to it. Place your elbows next to your

side, not too far away and with your

mouse within easy reach.

2. Adjust the height of your chair and table

so that your keyboard and mouse are at

or below elbow height.

3. Keep your feet well supported, posture

straight and your shoulders relaxed.

4. During gameplay, relax your wrist and

keep it straight. If you do the same tasks

with your hands repeatedly, try not to

bend, extend or twist your hands for long

periods.

5. Do not rest your wrists on hard surfaces

for long periods.

6. Customize the buttons on your

keyboard to suit your style of gaming in

order to minimize repetitive or

awkward motions while gaming.

7. Make sure your fingers are resting on

the keyboard buttons comfortably.

8. Do not sit in the same position all day.

Get up, step away from your desk and

do exercises to stretch your arms,

shoulders, neck and legs.

9. If you should experience any physical

discomfort while using your keyboard,

such as pain, numbness, or tingling in

your hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders,

neck or back, please consult a qualified

medical doctor immediately.

MAINTENANCE AND USE

There is a little regular maintenance

required to keep the Razer Lycosa™ in

optimum condition. Once a month, we

recommend that you unplug the keyboard

from the USB port and clean the keys on

it with a soft cloth or cotton swab. Use a

little warm water but avoid soap or harsh

cleaning agents.
