Take care of digital 'toys'

Your high-definition television (smartphone), smartphone and digital camera must always be clean, and all devices need to be protected from risks. Let's start with general maintenance for all of them.

Clean the screen

The dirty LCD screen will not fully display the information or create interest for you. The screen is usually quite fragile, so you should clean it properly to not reduce the quality.

Use soft towels and dust sprayers to clean the screen and lens.

The tool you need is a small, soft and smooth cloth towel. You can buy this towel at eyewear stores. A small cloth is perfect for cleaning dirt on a phone screen or a camera, but using a 5cm towel to clean dust on a 50 "TV does not seem appropriate. Larger smooth cloth towels, only a few thousand dong, at stores selling cameras, electronics or computer hardware.

First gently wipe the screen with a dry towel. Do not press hard, except for dust. Usually cleaning dust with a dry towel is enough; If wet towels are needed, the work may be more complicated.

Don't use mirror / glass cleaning products like Windex. Avoid solutions, water with alcohol inside. Do not apply liquid directly to the screen and do not clean when the device is powered on.

Distilled water is the safest liquid to clean the screen. If distilled water is not enough to clean, add vinegar at the rate of 50-50. In addition, you can buy specialized LCD cleaning fluids, but distilled water and vinegar are still the best cleaning solution.

Turn off the device first, if it is a TV, unplug the power outlet. If it is a phone or camera with a removable battery, remove the battery or turn off the device.

Fill the jar with liquid and spray it on a soft cloth. Gently wipe the screen and wait until completely dry to turn on the device.

Do HDTV cleaning

Dirty TV frames have no effect on watching your TV, this only affects the aesthetics of the room; However, dirt can cause allergies to you and other family members.

Use a soft cloth to clean the LCD screen or the old shirt. Wet the cloth with water and unplug the HDTV.

Let HDTV rest for a few minutes. After that, you clean the vent holes / holes and don't let the HDTV near the heat generator.

Keep the TV dry. Be sure to keep liquids away from the TV. Another important issue is moisture, especially in tropical environments. You should not watch a non-covered patio TV. The general rule is that HDTV is not located where humidity is above 80%.

Electromagnetic lightning can pass through the arrester and burn your TV. In case of lightning, you should unplug the HDTV. If you go a few days away, unplug the TV power cord from the socket.

"Screen burn" is something of a few years ago, but this problem can still happen, especially with plasma TVs. You need to check if the TV setup menu has a screen saver or an automatic shutdown option; If so, activate this feature. But if a fire occurs, keep your settings intact for a few hours with a fixed image changing across the screen. There will be a photo slideshow done, indicating that these photos spread across the screen.

Phone protection

Most of us have never dropped the TV, but with smartphones is different. We often put the phone in a pocket or purse with a lock, forget it when charging, leave them in hot or humid places.

The first rule to keep the Smartphone is from the users themselves: to pay attention to where it is stored. You can leave your phone in your pocket or purse, however, if your phone has an "open" screen, there is no guarantee that the zipper and its contents will not scratch the screen.

You should be equipped with a phone case to limit scratches and lost.

Better yet, you should store your phone in a dedicated holster. Most phone cases or bags to keep the screen in a "free" state so you can easily operate it, so you should buy a screen protector. Many users choose glue solution.

Many types of protective films also have the ability to limit privacy protection by making the screen impossible to observe at certain angles.

With the touch screen, lock the screen before putting your phone in your pocket or bag. This not only saves battery but also limits the phone to automatically call out.

If the phone has overheating, quickly turn off the power and remove the battery from the device. Then you leave the phone somewhere cool. If after a few hours, the phone or battery is still "fever", then it is better to contact the company to bring warranty.

You should also get into the habit of charging your phone every night. If possible, you can buy 1 or 2 extra batteries, or equip a battery charger using a cigarette bait port on your car.

Take care of the camera

If you have a digital camera, this device also needs special care. Besides a clean LCD to observe, to get good photos, you must know how to clean the lens (lens).

The first tool you need is a dust spray - a rubber ball with a brush at the end. You use this tool to clean up most of the dirt. If this is not possible, use a soft cloth for the camera and lens cleaning solution. Liquid spray wipes the lens onto a towel and applies it in the manner shown. You can buy all this, usually one set, at any fancy equipment store.

You should use a dedicated camera bag to protect the device on the move.

If you have a pocket camera, the lenses are sealed inside the camera. That means you have to turn on the phone to do it.

Although you do not need to turn on the SLR camera to clean the lenses, this type of digital camera has another part that needs regular cleaning, which are sensors.

Also, because you can remove and replace lenses on an SLR, dirt can "sneak" inside, affecting light-sensitive sensors for recording images (with cameras). There is no problem pocketing a fixed lens type. This is a job that requires meticulousness and contains several risks, so you must think carefully before doing it.

You should put the camera in a carrying case to limit the impact when carrying with you. In addition, you should also choose a large bag, with multiple compartments to carry other accessories such as batteries, backup memory cards, removable flash .
