6. SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE

SAFETY GUIDELINES

In order to achieve maximum safety while using your Razer Kaira, 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

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.

support.razer.com for assistance.

MAINTENANCE AND USE

The Razer Kaira requires minimum maintenance to keep it in optimum condition. Once a month we

recommend you clean it using a soft cloth or cotton swab to prevent dirt buildup. Do not use soap or

harsh cleaning agents.

BATTERY WARNING

The Razer Kaira 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 Kaira

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.
