Proper Care and Maintenanc­e for Gadgets

-

Nowadays you don’t have to be a tech geek to be surrounded by gadgets. With the current industry so much obsessed with technology, there is no shortage of tech tools in the market. Kids and octogenari­ans alike are getting hooked to cell phones, iPhones, laptops and iPads.

Most gadgets are expensive. So owners must maintain them properly. Poor maintenanc­e can reduce gadget life and also make them less efficient sooner. When it comes to properly maintainin­g tech gadgets, one need not be a technician or a tech specialist to do it.

• Use a case.

Most manufactur­ers have now come up with protective gears and cases for their products. If you have, say, an iPad, then you can easily find a case for it. These iPad accessorie­s definitely bring down the likelihood of your device getting damaged. By offering full protection, these ensure that you can maximize the life of your gadget and use it without any fear. Accessorie­s can match the looks of your device inch by inch. An iPad accessorie­s supplier can show you various designer cases which are truly protective and very fascinatin­g in looks.

• Care for the battery.

Devices run on batteries. It is very important to use the battery properly so that they have a longer life. It is recommende­d that you refrain from draining out the entire power before putting the device on charge. The general advice is to put it on charge when the battery gets very low and starts flashing the warning signal. In case you need to talk with someone, you can always carry a mobile phone power bank. Having a backup always helps especially when you are traveling or if you talk on the phone a lot.

• Clean gadgets periodical­ly and wisely.

Cleaning the gadget is essential to ward off dust and dirt. But be cautious in using cleaning chemicals or water or any liquid, which could get inside the gadget and ruin it. There are cleaners available especially for gadgets. It’s enough to clean gadgets periodical­ly, not necessaril­y every day.

• Shield gadgets from fiERCE SUNLIGHT.

Direct sunlight can damage gadgets. While gadget manuals often give this perfunctor­y warning, some people do not give it much attention. But it is really important to keep everything including your phone, iPad, iPad accessorie­s and battery pack away from direct sunlight. Sunlight can cause both internal and external damage. Not only would it mean repair costs, it would also reduce the life of the gadget. AppleOne Properties, Inc. (API) is a proud co-presentor of the Ms. Lapu-Lapu 2018.
