Charger Hazards

Today, mobile phones are not only owned by adults but also by every child. These modern gadgets allow you to stay in touch with loved ones and can also replace other popular devices: a player, a TV, a computer, and a camera. All phones have batteries that are charged from the electrical network. Sometimes, improper use of the phone or violation of safety rules can lead to a fire or injury to a person.

What should be done to avoid such situations? You need to know some facts and follow simple rules!

1) The instruction manual that comes with your mobile phone indicates the service life of your gadget, after which the device's battery resource begins to deplete. This significantly increases the risk of fire and explosion of the phone;

2) Use only original chargers designed specifically for this model of phone or tablet. Using a more powerful charger,increases the risk of the phone overheating, the charger itself igniting, and ultimately can lead to the phone's battery exploding;

3) remember that leaving your phone plugged in can cause a voltage surge, as a result of which your device may not only smoke but also catch fire. Therefore, for safety reasons, you should only charge your phone in your presence. Under no circumstances should you leave your gadget charging overnight, as in the event of a fire, a sleeping person will not notice the approaching threat. If the phone is not charging, you need to disconnect the charger from the mains, as while under voltage, it can also cause a fire;

4) there can be many reasons for your device overheating: a factory defect or a broken part, exceeding the phone's service life, an unsuitable charger, a large number of running background applications and graphically intensive games, unnecessary files accumulated in the operating system. All this causes the mobile phone to work slower and heat up more.

Be careful! While keeping pace with technological progress, do not forget about safety! In case of any emergency, call "101" or "112"!
