by step guide on the calibration process.

Step 1 of 3
This step introduces the calibration process. Read the instructions carefully and ensure that you are in
a quiet environment in order to hear the audio prompts properly.
In this figure, the mannequin represents your position. The green arrows on each segment represent
the target direction of the audio playback for that particular segment. Each orange line represents the
last saved calibration settings configured on Razer Surround.
Click Calibrate Now once you are ready to begin the calibration.
FOR GA ME R S. BY G AM ER S.™
15
Step 2 of 3
Position yourself according to the point of reference indicated by the mannequin. The calibration
process is divided into a series of segments. An audio prompt will be played for each segment.
For the first segment, the sound should be perceived as coming from the direction marked by the
green target arrow, roughly North-East of your point of reference. Your aim is to move the sound you
hear such that you perceive it to be coming from this target direction. To achieve this,
1. Listen carefully to the audio prompt
2. The sound you hear will change direction as you move the mouse scroll wheel or the up/down
arrow keys.
3. Continue changing the direction of the sound until you perceive it to come from the North-
East position or as close to the green target arrow as possible.
Note: The orange line indicates the relative change to the previously saved alignment setting. It does
not affect your current calibration, as it serves merely as a change indicator.

Click Next to continue to the next segment. Repeat the above, using the green target arrow for each
segment as the target direction and continue until you complete the circle.
Once all segments are calibrated, click Next to go to the next step.

8. SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE
SAFETY GUIDELINES
In order to achieve maximum safety while using your Razer Electra V2 USB, 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 razersupport.com for support. Do not attempt to
service or fix the device yourself at any time.
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 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.
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 any activities that requires
active awareness of your surroundings.
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 Electra V2 USB 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 with a bit of warm water to prevent dirt buildup. Do not use soap or harsh cleaning
agents.
