SETTING UP YOUR RAZER KAIRA HYPERSPEED

CHARGING YOUR HEADSET
Connect your Razer Kaira HyperSpeed to a powered USB Type-A port using the charging cable. For best results, please fully charge your headset before using it for the first time. A depleted unit will fully charge in about 3 hours.

Headset charging using any port on the PS5™ console only works when the console is not in Rest Mode.
CONNECTING TO YOUR HEADSET
A. TO A PS5™ CONSOLE OR PC VIA 2.4 GHZ

1. Plug the USB Type C wireless dongle into your device.  When plugging the USB Type C wireless dongle into your PS5™ console, make sure it doesn’t obstruct the console’s USB Type-A port.
2. Press and hold the Power button until the status indicator briefly lights up in solid green to power on the headset.
3. Wait until the status indicator briefly becomes static green, indicating that the headset is connected to the USB Type C wireless dongle.  This headset uses 2.4 GHz wireless bandwidth. If the PlayStation®5 console and other devices use the same bandwidth, signal interference may occur.
4. On your device (if applicable), set the Razer Kaira HyperSpeed as the default Input and Output Device.
   On PS5™ consoles

   Settings > Sound	Audio Output > Output device > Razer Kaira HS 2.4

   Razer has validated the operation between this headset and the PlayStation®5 console.
   On PC

   Sound settings	Output > Razer Kaira HS 2.4

   When using the headset with compatible devices, set the Razer Kaira HS 2.4 as the default input and output device (if applicable).

B. TO OTHER DEVICES VIA BLUETOOTH

1. While powered off, press and hold the Power button for 5 seconds or until the status indicator starts blinking in blue to enter pairing mode.
2. Activate Bluetooth on your device and select “Razer Kaira HS (BT)” from the list of devices found.
3. Wait until both devices are connected. The status indicator will briefly show solid blue to indicate that the headset is now connected to your device.

USING YOUR HEADSET

POWER BUTTON
Power ON / OFF
Power on the headset by holding the Power button until the status indicator is on and holding the Power button again to turn it off. An audio prompt will help notify you when the headset is powered on or off.

The headset will power on using the last active audio source before powering off.
Other functions
Other power button functions are available when the headset is powered on with Bluetooth as the audio source. These functions operate based on your device’s current activity and may not apply to certain devices.

UNDERSTANDING THE STATUS INDICATOR
The status indicator will show the connection and battery status when the headset is unplugged and powered on. While in use, you’ll hear a voice prompt when the headset needs to be recharged; during such time, the indicator will continue showing the battery level until you charge the headset.

Indicator	Prompt	Battery level
	Voice	Low

RAZER SMARTSWITCH BUTTON
Switching between EQ Presets
Press the Razer SmartSwitch / EQ button to switch between Default, Amplified, Enhanced Bass, FPS, and Custom* EQ presets available on the headset.

* This preset will only be available when you customize a preset on the Razer Audio app.
Switching between audio sources
When powered on and connected to any audio source, double-press the Razer SmartSwitch button to switch between the USB Type C wireless dongle and Bluetooth audio source or vice versa.

Enabling / Disabling Gaming Mode
While connected via Bluetooth, triple-press the Razer SmartSwitch button, then hold the last press for 2 seconds to activate Gaming Mode. Once enabled, the headset will function at a lower latency, giving you real-time audio feedback while gaming. Repeat to disable gaming mode

This feature is only available on Bluetooth connection. Keeping the headset within a very close distance of the audio source is recommended for the best performance.
Reactivating Bluetooth pairing mode
You can also use the Razer SmartSwitch to reactivate Bluetooth pairing mode. While connected via Bluetooth, press and hold the Razer SmartSwitch button for 5 seconds to reactivate Bluetooth pairing mode and connect your device as needed to Razer Kaira HS (BT).

UNDERSTANDING RAZER SMARTSWITCH
With the Razer Kaira HyperSpeed simultaneously connected to a PC or gaming console (via USB Type C wireless dongle) and a mobile device (via Bluetooth), you’ll be able to use the headset for incoming/outgoing/conference calls from a connected Bluetooth device and switch back to the game audio without removing the headset. The status indicator will briefly show static white to indicate that the headset is connected to both audio sources.
The following behaviors below will help you understand how your headset responds to the audio source switching and incoming/outgoing/conference calls when your headset is connected to a Bluetooth device and the USB Type C wireless dongle:

Headset audio	Razer SmartSwitch behavior
Streaming via USBType C wireless dongle	▪ The headset will automatically switch to Bluetooth audio source for incoming/outgoing/conference calls from your mobile device and resume using the USB Type C wireless dongle after each call. You can deactivate automatic source switching for incoming calls by enabling your headset’s Do Not Disturb feature on the Razer Audio app.
	▪ Audio from the connected mobile device will ONLY automatically stream on the headset if no audio is present or streaming on the USB Type C wireless dongle.
	▪ Auto-pause on streamed audio when switching audio sources depending on the app you’re using (e.g., Spotify, Apple Music).
Streaming via Bluetooth	▪ When you switch to the USB Type C wireless dongle audio source, your headset will remain connected to your mobile device via Bluetooth. However, the Razer Audio app will disconnect from your mobile device.
	▪ Auto-pause on streamed audio when switching audio sources depending on the app you’re using (e.g., Spotify, Apple Music).
Not streaming on any audio source	Audio will play on the first audio source that streams audio.

VOLUME WHEEL
Rotate the Volume wheel to increase or decrease the volume.

SIDETONE WHEEL
Rotate the Sidetone wheel to adjust the volume of your voice that you can hear through the headset.

RAZER™ HYPERCLEAR CARDIOID MIC
Bend the Razer™ HyperClear Cardioid mic until it is parallel to your mouth. Make sure the mic diaphragm is in front and the air vent is facing away from your mouth.

The recommended mic-to-mouth distance for optimal sound capture is 1.5 cm to 3 cm (0.59 into 1.18 in).
Slide the mic mute switch to mute or unmute the microphone.

COMFORT
It’s recommended to gently stretch the headset before placing it over your head to minimize headband stress; however, don’t stretch the headset beyond its limits.

SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE

SAFETY GUIDELINES
To achieve maximum safety while using your Razer Kaira HyperSpeed, 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.
Don’t take apart the device and do not attempt to operate it under abnormal current loads. Doing so will void your warranty.
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 to let the temperature stabilize to an optimal level.
The device isolates external ambient sounds even at low volumes, resulting in lowered awareness of your external surroundings. Please remove the device when engaging in activities requiring active awareness of your surroundings.
Listening to excessively loud volumes over extended periods can damage your hearing. Furthermore, legislation of certain countries permits a maximum sound level of 86db to affect your hearing for 8 hours a day. We, therefore, recommend that you reduce the volume to a comfortable level when listening for prolonged periods. Please, take good care of your hearing.
MAINTENANCE AND USE
The Razer Kaira HyperSpeed requires minimum maintenance to keep it in optimum condition. Once a month, we recommend you clean it using a soft cloth or cotton swab to prevent dirt buildup. Do not use soap or harsh cleaning agents.
BATTERY WARNING
The Razer Kaira HyperSpeed contains a Li-ion rechargeable battery. In general, the life expectancy of such batteries is dependent upon usage. If you suspect that the Li-ion rechargeable battery inside the Razer Kaira HyperSpeed may be drained (has a low charge), try charging it.
Caution: Do not open, mutilate, or expose to conducting materials (metal), moisture, liquid, fire, or heat. Doing so may cause batteries to leak or explode, resulting in personal injury. Battery life varies with usage.
