RAZER KRAKEN X Wired Gaming Headset
Safety Instructions
- To achieve maximum safety while using your Razer Kraken X USB, we suggest that you adopt the following guidelines:
- 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 activity that requires active awareness of your surroundings.
- Listening to excessively loud music over an extended period of time can damage your hearing.
- Furthermore, legislation of certain countries permits only a maximum sound level of 86dB 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.
