Razer PANTHERA User manual

Built on years upon years of collective arcade and console gaming experience from pro
gamers and the Razer community alike, the Razer Panthera arcade stick was
engineered and refined to perfection through countless prototypes via an extensive
beta testing phase and has been crafted to allow the same advanced modification that
gamers and modders have come to love over the years. On top of having internals and
storage easily accessible at the touch of a button, you can also fully change the joystick
and all 10 buttons for complete customizability.
Featuring genuine Sanwa™ hardware and the Vewlix layout, this definitive arcade stick
for tournament-grade gaming represents the pinnacle of precision and reliability.
Forged from the fires of an arcade gaming legacy, the Razer Panthera is, in the most
primeval sense, Bred to Fight.

6. SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE
SAFETY GUIDELINES
In order to achieve maximum safety while using your Razer Panthera, we suggest that
you adopt the following guidelines:
1. 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 attempt to service or fix the device
yourself at any time.
3. Do not take apart the device (doing so will void your warranty) and do not
attempt to operate it under abnormal current loads.
4. 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 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
Panthera.
1. Position the Razer Panthera directly in front of you and within easy reach.
2. Adjust the height of your chair and/or table so that the Razer Panthera is 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. Use a wrist rest to
support your wrist while gaming.
6. 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.
7. If you should experience any physical discomfort while using your Razer
Panthera, 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 Panthera requires minimum maintenance to keep it in optimum condition.
Once a month we recommend you unplug the device from the USB port and clean it
using a soft cloth or cotton swab with a bit of warm water to prevent dirt buildup. Do
not use soap or harsh cleaning agents.
