SWITCHING PROFILES
You can switch between profiles in three ways:
a) By pressing the “Razer Logo” 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.
