SWITCHING PROFILES

You can switch between profiles in three ways:

a) By pressing the “Razer Logo” button + Function key (F1 – F10).

b) By selecting a profile in the Razer Arctosa Driver Control.

c) By programming a macro key in the Razer Arctosa Configurator to activate a particular Profile.

PROGRAMMING MACRO KEYS

Example: To configure Macro Key Q to “Save As..” in Photoshop.

1. Open up the Razer Arctosa Driver Control.

2. Click Q to slide open the Macro Key Functions windows.

3. Click the “Record” button.

4. Type “Shift”, “Ctrl” and “S” inside the Current Macro Assignment box.

5. Click OK.

Note: You cannot record a mouse click or other commands during the recording phase. You can add them after you have

completed recording the sequence of keystrokes.

SETTING GAMING MODE

Gaming mode prevents accidental activation of the Windows

Start function by disabling the Windows buttons.

You can toggle the Gaming Mode ON/OFF by pressing the “Razer

Logo” button together with one of the Windows buttons. When

this key combination is pressed, both Windows buttons are

disabled. To reactivate the Windows buttons, press the “Razer

Logo” button together with one of the Windows buttons again.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

In order to achieve maximum safety while using

your Razer Arctosa™, we suggest that you adopt

the following guidelines:

1. Should you have trouble operating the

keyboard properly and troubleshooting does

not work, unplug the device and call the

Razer™ hotline or go to www.razerzone.com

for support. Do not attempt to service or fix

the device yourself at any time.

2. Do not take the keyboard apart (doing so will

also void your warranty) and do not attempt

to service it yourself or operate it under

abnormal current loads.

3. Keep your keyboard away from liquid,

humidity or moisture. Operate your keyboard

only within the specified temperature range

of 0˚C (32˚F) to 40˚C (104˚F). Should you

operate it in a temperature that is beyond

this range, unplug and switch off the device

in order to let the temperature stabilize

within the optimal temperature range.

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. 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

There is a little regular maintenance required to

keep the Razer Arctosa in optimum condition.

Once a month, we recommend that you unplug

the keyboard from the USB port and clean the

keys on Razer Arctosa with a soft cloth or cotton

swab. Use a little warm water but avoid soap or

harsh cleaning agents.
