Mobile Phone Care
1. Water And Phones Don't Mix
Don't let your phone get wet. Even slight
amounts of water can corrode internal
components, causing anything from the display to
the memory to quit working. In most cases,
water-damaged phones have to be replaced.
Be sure protect your mobile phone from the
elements by keeping it away from water and sand.
Although we don't recommend taking your phone to
the beach, if you must, then make sure to keep
it in its protective case.
Keep in mind that not only swimming pools pose
threats to your phone. Phones can be damaged
after being set on a wet bar or being dialed
with wet hands.
If your phone does get wet, leave it to dry.
Don't turn it on or off until it has completely
dried, or you might short out some of its
electronics. If it does not work properly,
contact the product manufacturer. Water damage
will usually void your product warranty.
2. Crushing Defeat
Try not to drop your phone. Depending on what
type of surface it lands on, dropped phones can
suffer cracked screens or dislodged internal
components.
The worst damage occurs when a falling phone is
connected to an accessory such as a headset, as
the impact often bends or rips out the jack
where the accessory connects to the phone. While
you're walking around, a good way to keep your
phone securely at your side is to use a belt
clip or a holster.
Another good reason to use a carrying case or
belt clip is to keep the phone from being mashed
inside a briefcase. Cracked display screens or
broken antennas can result when someone tries to
squeeze a handset into an overloaded briefcase.
3. The Heat Is On
As the summer in some countries (like India) can
be quite extreme, don't subject your phone to
harsh weather conditions. Just like you, your
phone can cook and fry in the blazing heat of
the sun.
If you use your phone in the car, it's a good
idea NOT to leave it there on a sweltering
afternoon. Extreme heat can damage the battery
or transceiver, the part of the phone that pulls
in radio signals and transforms them into voice.
Similarly, use caution when using the phone in
extreme cold weather. Phones do not recover from
frostbite. See your mobile phone manual for more
detailed information about acceptable weather
conditions for your phone.
4. Zapping The Life Out Of It
A mobile phone can heat up internally if you
leave it plugged into a charger or car adapter
longer than the time recommended in your phone's
manual. Daily over charging can destroy a
battery and melt internal phone components. Over
charging affects the various phone and battery
models differently, but to be safe, it is better
to completely discharge the phone's battery when
it is low, rather than to partially recharge it.
If your phone has a NiCad battery it is very
important to completely discharge it. If the
battery is Li-Ion then this is not such a big
issue. See your phone manual for more
information about charging your phone.
5. Sticky Fingers
Keep your eyes open and don't leave you mobile
phone unattended to, no matter what company
you are in. If your phone is stolen, call
your network service provider immediately. As
with credit cards, your provider will deactivate
your phone number to prevent your account from
being charged with fraudulent calls.
You should also keep your cellphone's IMEI
number and your SIM number handy in such cases.
It's better to note them down beforehand than to
repent later.
