Mobile phones today make our lives more convenient, help us communicate quickly and other useful applications with just one touch. However, it is important that this familiar item can also be harmful. Therefore, you should remember the following notes when using mobile phones.
- Don't charge your phone for too long: Not only will this damage the battery, it will also heat up your phone. A hot phone can explode and cause serious injury or increase the risk of fire in the house. You should only charge the battery for enough time to fully charge, don't charge it for too long.
- Avoid buying cheap or used phones: Because cheap phones are often made of substandard materials, they are prone to heat up when charging or using. Likewise, with used phones, you cannot be sure whether it has been damaged before.
- Teach your child to use cell phones responsibly: Like everything, cell phone use has a time and place; being glued to your phone is not always good for your child. You should set limits on the time and purpose of cell phone use for your child.
- Never use a mobile phone while driving: It can cause accidents for you and others.
