4. GETTING STARTED

CHARGING YOUR MOUSE

Plug the charging cable from your computer’s USB port to your Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro. For best
results, please fully charge the mouse before using it for the first time. A depleted battery will be fully
charged in approximately 4 hours. This connection also acts as the wired mode for your Razer device.

The Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro requires a USB connection that can supply sufficient power to
charge the device. The charging process may be affected when connecting to a non-powered
USB hub or non-powered USB port mostly found on keyboards and peripherals. It’s
recommended to always connect the Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro directly to the USB port of your
computer.

LOW POWER INDICATOR

The Razer logo will blink red twice in repeated intervals to indicate that its battery’s power is less than
5%. This lighting sequence will repeat until the battery is drained or the mouse is connected to the PC
via the charging cable.

6. SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE

SAFETY 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.razer.com for support.

Do not take apart the device and do not 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 in order to let the temperature stabilize to an optimal level.

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 DeathAdder V2 Pro.

▪ 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 your keyboard within easy reach.

▪ Adjust the height of your chair and table so that the keyboard and mouse are at or below

elbow-height.

▪ Keep your feet well supported, posture straight and your shoulders relaxed.
▪ 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.

▪ Do not rest your wrists on hard surfaces for long periods. Use a wrist rest to support your wrist

while gaming.

▪ 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.

FOR G AMERS. B Y GAM ERS.™

34

If you should experience any physical discomfort while using your mouse, 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

The Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro requires 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 swab to prevent dirt buildup. Do not use soap or harsh cleaning agents.

To get the ultimate experience in movement and control, we highly recommend a premium mouse
mat from Razer. Some surfaces will cause undue wear on the feet requiring constant care and
eventual replacement.

Do note that the sensor of the Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro is ‘tuned’ or optimized especially for the
Razer mouse mats. This means that the sensor has been tested extensively to confirm that the Razer
DeathAdder V2 Pro reads and tracks best on Razer mouse mats.

BATTERY WARNING

The Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro contains a Li-ion rechargeable battery. In general, the life expectancy of
such batteries is dependent upon usage. If you suspect that the Li-ion rechargeable battery inside the
Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro may be drained (has a low charge), try charging it.

Caution: Do not open, mutilate, or expose to conducting materials (metal), moisture, liquid, fire, or
heat. Doing so may cause batteries to leak or explode, resulting in personal injury. Battery life varies
with usage.
