SAFETY GUIDELINES

In order to achieve maximum safety while using your Razer Tartarus V2, 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.razerzone.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

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 Tartarus V2.

1. Position your keypad 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.
2. Adjust the height of your chair and table so that the keypad and mouse are at or below elbow height.
3. Keep your feet well supported, your posture straight, and your shoulders relaxed.
4. 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.
5. Do not rest your wrists on hard surfaces for long periods.
6. Use a wrist rest to support your wrist while gaming.
7. Customize the keys on your keypad to suit your style of gaming in order to minimize repetitive or awkward motions while gaming.
