www.razersupport.com for support. Do not attempt to service or fix the device

yourself at any time.

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

3. Keep your device away from liquid, humidity or moisture. Operate your device only within the specified temperature range of 0˚C (32˚F) to 40˚C (104˚F).
