7. SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE

SAFETY GUIDELINES

In order to achieve maximum safety while using the Razer Saver 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 support.razerzone.com for support.

Do not take apart the device (doing so will void your warranty) and do not attempt to operate it under abnormal current loads.

Keep the device and its components away from liquid, humidity or moisture. Operate the device and its components only within the specific temperature range of 0^ C ( 32^ F) to 40^ C ( 104^ F). Should the temperature exceed this range, unplug and switch off the device in order to let the temperature stabilize to an optimal level.

Listening to excessively loud volumes over extended periods of time 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 of time. Please, take good care of your hearing.

MAINTENANCE AND USE

The Razer Secure Ebite minimum maintenance to keep it in optimum condition. Once a month we recommend you unplug the device from the computer and clean it using a soft cloth or cotton to prevent dirt buildup. Do not use soap or harsh cleaning agents.
