| Never
record a greeting, on your telephone answering machine, that tells callers you
are not at home or are away for few days. Such messages can lead you inviting
burglars. Be general, like, " Hi, I can't take your call right now, please
leave you name and number, I'll get back to you as soon as possible." |
| Periodically
have your camcorder cleaned by a professional. The small, quick turning
mechanisms within the cameras, especially in smaller models, are easily damaged
by the dirt. |
| Always
check the battery of your camera before you take it to any important event.
Carry a spare battery and film to avoid missing any life-time photograph. |
|
|
| Protect
your remote controls from grease or dust by sealing it in a plastic zipper bag
or wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap. Change the cover every week or 15 days. |
| Cover
your sound systems when they are not in use and vacuum the speaker grilles
periodically to avoid dust, which can cause the system to overheat. |
| Clean
your telephone by rubbing alcohol or cleaning liquid on a cloth, but keep the
moisture from getting into the holes in the mouthpiece. |
| Always
leave space between tour TV set and the wall or furniture. Air must circulate
around the vents at the back to keep the set from overheating. |
| Before
cleaning your TV set, for Safety purpose remove the plug and the allow your
television to cool before cleaning the screen. |
| Increase
the life of batteries by keeping them in the refrigerator and put them in sun
for a day to power boost their energy. |
