SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE

SAFETY GUIDELINES

In order to achieve maximum safety while using your Razer Huntsman Elite, 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 assistance.

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.

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 Huntsman Elite.

  1. Position your keyboard 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 keyboard and mouse are at or below elbow height.
  3. Keep your feet well supported, 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 the ergonomic wrist rest to support your wrist while gaming.
  7. Customize the keys on your keyboard to suit your style of gaming in order to minimize repetitive or awkward motions while gaming.
  8. Do not sit in the same position all day. Get up, step away from your desk and do exercises to stretch your arms, shoulders, neck and legs.

If you should experience any physical discomfort while using your keyboard, such as pain, numbness, or tingling in your hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck or back, please consult a qualified medical doctor immediately.

MAINTENANCE AND USE

The Razer Huntsman Elite requires minimum maintenance to keep it in optimum condition. Once a month we recommend you unplug the device from the computer, detach the wrist rest, and gently clean each component using a soft cloth or cotton swab to prevent dirt buildup. Do not use soap or harsh cleaning agents.

THE FOLLOWING LIMITED WARRANTY ONLY APPLIES TO AUSTRALIA

Limited Warranty. Razer warrants the Product to be free from defects in materials and workmanship (subject to the terms set forth herein) when used normally in accordance with the official documentation for the applicable Warranty Period from the date of retail purchase. If the Product is, or contains, a rechargeable battery, Razer does not provide any warranties for the battery life, as all rechargeable batteries can be expected to lose charging capacity over time and this is not considered a defect. Your actual battery life will vary depending on the conditions in which it is used.

Limited Warranty Period. You are eligible for Limited Warranty support for the following periods of time commencing upon the date of retail purchase of your Product ("Warranty Period"):

Razer Keyboards and Razer Gaming Accessories 2 years

All new Products will have the Warranty Periods listed above, subject to local law. Certain "end of life", sell out or discontinued Products may have a shorter Warranty Period; this will be clearly marked at the time of purchase and the given Warranty Period will be stated at that time. Factory Refurbished Products will have a Warranty Period of 90 days. If you are uncertain whether your Product is eligible for Limited Warranty support, please contact our support team for clarification here.
Exclusions and Limitations. This Limited Warranty does not cover:

  1. software, including (without limitation), (i) the operating system and software added to the Razer-branded hardware products through our factory-integration system, (ii) third-party software, or (iii) the reloading of software, software configurations or any data files;
  2. non-Razer branded products and accessories, even if packaged and sold with the Product;
  3. problems with and/or damage to the Product caused by using non-Razer accessories, parts, or components;
  4. damage caused by service (including upgrades and expansions) performed by anyone who is not officially acting as an employee, representative or sub-contractor of Razer;
  5. claims arising from any unacceptable use or care of the Product, including (without limitation) misuse, abuse, negligence, unauthorized modification or repair, unauthorized commercial use or any operation of the Product outside Razer's recommended parameters;
  6. claims arising from external causes, including (without limitation), accidents, acts of God, liquid contact, fire or earthquake;
  7. Products with a serial number or date stamp that has been altered, obliterated or removed;
  8. Products for which Razer will not receive payment; or
  9. cosmetic damage and normal wear and tear, including (without limitation), scratches, dents and chips.

The benefits to the consumer given by this Limited Warranty are in addition to other rights and remedies of the consumer under a law in relation to the goods or services to which this Limited Warranty relates.

  1. repair the Product or the defective parts at no charge, using new or refurbished replacement parts;
  2. provide online Razer Store vouchers of a value equivalent to the retail purchase price of the Product; or
  3. exchange the Product with a Product that is new or which has been manufactured from new or serviceable used parts and is at least functionally equivalent to the original Product.

Razer reserves the sole right to determine whether a claim is eligible and/or whether the Product is defective. Where the Product is an "end of life" Product model, Razer may (at its sole option) exchange the Product with a functionally equivalent substitute model from Razer's current Product range. Razer has the sole option to provide any other type of remedy in addition to or in substitution of the aforesaid remedies.

Remedies under Australian Consumer Law. Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.
