SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE
SAFETY GUIDELINES
In order to achieve maximum safety while using your Razer DeathAdder Essential, 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 support.razer.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 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.
MAINTENANCE AND USE
- The Razer DeathAdder Essential requires minimal 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 Essential 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 Essential reads and tracks best on Razer mouse mats.
