Hot Tech Tips to Prepare for Cold Weather

VALLEY AUCTIONS

Follow these tips from T-Mobile to keep your tech working so you can stay connected all winter long.

• Keep it Charged. Charging your phone, smartwatch and other devices in temperatures below 32 degrees can affect the battery by reducing its efficiency, causing slower charging rates and potentially leading to a shorter overall battery lifespan. Before plugging in, ensure your device reaches room temperature for at least 30 607 Old Route 15 New Columbia, PA 17856 zman82@gmail.com 570-713-5116 Since 1921

Activating your phone’s battery-saving mode can also help you get the most out of your device in frosty conditions. For iPhone

• Bundle Up Devices. Winter is the season for cozying up, and your device’s battery loves warmth too! When heading outside, tuck your device inside your jacket or pants pocket. For quick calls, opt for using ear buds or headphones with Bluetooth, allowing you to keep your phone nicely nestled. This will also help keep it dry while you’re shoveling the walkway or building a snowman.
