Mobilephone Tips and Maintenance

KEEP YOUR MOBILE:

1. Charged: Ensure your battery is fully charged, and then completely run it down before recharging. Recharging too early causes your battery to run out of power more quickly.


2. Secure: For security reasons, enable the PIN on your SIM Card and Phone-lock on your phone to avoid unauthorized used. These security checks will also be activated when the phone is power cycled. You can check with your carrier or the phone manual for the features and also for information on blocking your SIM card and phone IMEI number if the phone is stolen.


3. Protected: Make sure you use a keypad lock to lock your phone. Unplanned calls can cost a fortune and even though your phone may be in a safe place, such as in a bag, your phone will still get knocked around to a surprising degree. Rough treatment can damage electronic circuit boards so avoid dropping or unnecessarily shaking your phone.


4. Battery: Be safe with your batteries. Use only genuine batteries from your phone manufacturer and only buy from authorized dealers. Going for the cheap option of a counterfeit battery can be dangerous.


5. Clean: Don't use harsh detergents, cleaning solvents or harsh chemicals to clean your phone. Wipe only with a soft cloth.


6. Covered: a protective cover will help repel dust and dirt, and prevent scratches. Make sure the cover you choose is of good quality. Low quality covers with no air pockets can damage you phone by creating humidity inside the cover.


7. Storing your phone: Always store your phone in a dry place. Avoid rain, high humidity and liquids. All of these may contain minerals that could corrode the electronic circuits.


8. At the right temperature: To ensure a long life, keep your phone in a stable temperature. Avoid exposing your phone to liquid and/or exposing your phone to extreme temperature change from hot to cold and vice versa. This might create condensation and damage the phone.


9. Memory Card: Always make sure that your memory card on your mobile phone is in the mobile phone. Don’t save any personal information on your memory card as if it’s been lost and all your personal particulars maybe accessed by other's. Never leave your memory card behind always make sure that they are in the mobile phone slots.


10. Save Energy: Reduce the brightness of your mobile phone as this will help longer battery life and extend use of the mobile phone.


11. Use SMS: Don't just talk all the time sent SMS as this is cheaper and the battery will last longer for the mobile phone.


12. Disable the Vibrate: If you phone has a vibrate function and your not using it it’s better if you just disable the function as this will improve the battery life.

This will make your mobile phone more efficient and outstanding from the rest.
