Beware of High Temperatures in Phones

Nettel Group Chairman of the Board of Directors Mehmet Refik Selik conveyed the things that should be taken into consideration for the healthy use of mobile phones and mobile devices in these days when people stay at home and spend a lot of time with mobile devices due to the pandemic. Here are the explanations: THE WEATHER IS WARMING, YOU SHOULD BE CAREFUL ABOUT DIRECT SUN RAYS. When the heat generated by the operation of electronic products is combined with the heat coming from sunlight, it can reach dangerous levels for the products. Additionally, dark colored screens attract heat. Your smartphones and tablets should not be placed in the sun with the screen side facing the sun. If your phone or tablet is on a table under the sun, at least the back side should be facing the sun, not the screen part. However, it would be healthier to place your product in a shaded area to avoid direct exposure to sunlight. If there is no shade, you can also place it under light-colored objects that do not absorb as much sunlight as dark colors do. DO NOT PREVENT AIR CONTACT! Preventing air contact of phone cases, which also serve as passive cooling, will further increase the heating of the products. That's why, especially in holiday areas, we recommend that you wrap your phones and tablets in a towel to protect them from sunlight and prevent them from breathing. DON'T HESITATE TO USE THE POWER SAVING MODE! Don't hesitate to use power saving mode in areas where the sun and heat are high. PREFER TO USE WIFI INSTEAD OF CELLULAR DATA! Using WiFi further reduces battery drain and heat compared to cellular data. Take care to use Wi-Fi as much as possible on hot days. Because, during cellular data consumption, your GSM band triggers heating along with excessive power consumption in order to provide high speed. BE CAREFUL WHEN CHARGING The phone should not be charged while sleeping at night. It will significantly reduce the phone's battery life. Because, when you leave the phone to charge at night, it will be at 100% by the morning, and since the phone continues to work, the wasted energy will be recharged. Use the phone by constantly charging it to 90%. Avoid charging with a broken or damaged USB cable. Most of us have the problem that the head parts of the USB cables in our chargers get damaged due to use and the cables can come out, sometimes they do not charge and we charge it by fixing it with our hands. Doing so will seriously damage battery life. Waves in the current may damage the phone. Not buying a new USB cable will perhaps result in losing a phone. Do not tamper with your phone too much while it is charging. Playing games on the phone or using applications that may tire the system for a long time while charging will cause the phone to heat up and reduce battery life. It is recommended to use messaging applications only when necessary and not to overdo it. COVER SELECTION IS IMPORTANT Case selection is important. Immediately after purchasing the device, the question that comes to mind: "What kind of case should I buy?" is of serious importance. Cases, which serve as the number one protector against falls, impacts and wear, seem to be one of the most necessary accessories for phones. It is beneficial to obtain cases that come with developing technology and have features such as unbreakable and waterproof. This way, you can extend the life of your phone.
