SWITCHING PROFILES
You can switch between the Profiles of your Razer DeathAdder™ in 2 ways:
a. By selecting the active Profile in the Razer DeathAdder™ software driver,
b. By pressing the Profile button to cycle through preset profile 1 - 5. This requires the
driver to be installed.
When the active Profile is switched, the Razer DeathAdder™ will flash the corresponding
number of times (for example, if Profile 3 is activated, the Razer Death Adder™ will flash
3 times to indicate that is the Profile you have selected).
ON-THE-FLY SENSITIVITY™
If a button has been assigned to "On-The-Fly Sensitivity™", pressing the assigned
button and moving the scroll wheel will produce a bar on the lower right hand corner of
your screen, allowing you to dynamically adjust your sensitivity settings in the application.
This feature requires the driver to be installed.
DRIVER AND FIRMWARE UPDATES
You'll be able to update the Razer™ driver software and firmware by clicking. Update in
the upper left hand corner of the panel. Clicking on Update will bring you to
www.razerzone.com to download the latest driver and firmware.

Sensitivity
Mouse sensitivity is an internal filter of the
driver. The maximum sensitivity setting of 10 is
unfiltered. Each incremental stop or setting is a
10% decrease, i.e. 1 setting will decrease
mouse pointer input to 10% (i.e. a linear graph).
Acceleration
Acceleration is an internal filter of the driver,
and is primarily a legacy option for low dpi
mice users. With acceleration enabled, the
faster you swipe the mouse, additional
movement is added. Windows XP has
acceleration turned on by default as a
convenience for users assuming that
everyone will have 400dpi mice, but this will
likely be a hindrance to most gamers and
precision users who require greater accuracy.
The 'acceleration off' option (default) turns off
internal acceleration only and does not affect
Windows XP acceleration, which can be
turned off via the Control Panel, Mouse,
Pointer Options, and unselecting 'Enhance
Pointer Precision'.
Windows Pointer Speed
Pointer speed is the Windows implementation
of Sensitivity. In Windows XP, a setting of '5'
means there is no filtering (default). This bar is
included as a convenience.
DPI switcher - Resolution
Resolution is how many counts per inch of
movement that is sent by the mouse hardware
to the OS. e.g. 400dpi means a movement of
one inch will result in 400 counts of
movement. Without any of the above filters
operating, this will result in 400 pixels of
movement on the screen.
Independent X and Y-axis Settings
You can preset independent X-axis (sensitivity
movements side to side) and Y-axis (sensitivity
movements up and down). When this feature is
enabled you will see a new on-the-fly interface
bar when enacted on their screen that allows
further sensitivity adjustments.
saFety Guidelines
In order to achieve maximum safety while using
your mouse, we suggest that you adopt the
following guidelines:
1. Avoid looking directly into the infrared beam
of your mouse or pointing the beam in any
one else's eye. Note that the infrared beam
is NOT visible to the naked human eye and is
set on an Always-On mode.
2. Should you have trouble operating the
mouse properly and troubleshooting does
not work, unplug the device and contact the
Razer™ hotline or go to www.razerzone.com
for support. Do not attempt to service or fix
the device yourself at any time.
