How To Care For Your Mobile Phone
Considering it’s a device that contains a huge chunk of our lives, it’s surprising that many of us
give no more thought to how we take care of our mobile phones than we do to tossing away a
paper coffee cup. Yet when you think of it, these devices are incredibly fragile, made up of
dozens of miniscule components, some of them no thicker than a hair.
The truth is, we can make our mobiles last a lot longer by following just a few basic easy-care
tips.
* Protect your mobile against dampness
* Safe storage, away from dust and dirt
* Buy a properly fitted cover for your mobile – and use it
* Keep your mobile away from children and pets
* Keep your mobile battery properly charged, and get into the habit of doing it on a
regular basis
* Treat your phone as if it was made of thin glass. It’s fragile.
* Never, ever clean it with cleaning solvents or wet cloths. Use a soft, dry, dust-free
cloth instead.
Safe Practices Around Water, Children And Pets
Client Care Representative Rosemary of Telus Mobility (“We’re not allowed to give out our
surnames…”) passionately offered a fascinating insight into some of the most common
mishaps that befall mobile devices. She admitted some of the causes of breakage are “a sore
point” with her.
“The most common call I get related to broken cell phones has to be water damage. Number
one would be spilling coffee on it. Number two, dropping it in the toilet. But I get a
surprisingly high number of calls from people who have given it to their toddlers to play with,
or rescued it from the dog. Saliva – and that goes for baby-drool like you wouldn’t believe –
does more damage than you could ever think possible.
“Besides which – cell phones are not good for babies to play with. Even an old, dead one. If
you’re going to give it to your kid to play with, at least take the battery right out and make sure
there are no bits that can come off.”
Heat Can Do More Mobile Damage Than You May Think
Another source of damage that surprises people, says Rosemary, is heat damage. And that
includes:
* Leaving your mobile in a hot car on a summer’s day
* Talking for too long (causes overheating)
* Listening to music for extended periods of time
* Charging your phone in an enclosed space, without proper ventilation around it
* Setting your phone down on a heat source such as a radiator, or on a counter next to a
hot stove
“They’re pretty delicate. You can’t treat them like a book,” she cautions.
“And buy a cell phone that locks – one that won’t turn on automatically if it gets pressed
against something in your purse.”
What was Rosemary’s strangest mobile damage query?
“We had a guy who phoned us to see how to get potato salad out of his brand new Nokia N82.
He said that after a week, it was still working, but he was bothered because it was starting to
smell like egg.”
So what did Rosemary recommend?
“I told him to take it to his nearest Nokia dealer!”
